-
Bullet Ballet: You play as Arjun Devraj (voiced by Rahul Kohli), navigating the shape-shifting world of Carcosa. Combat focuses on high-speed movement, dashing, and managing intricate, color-coded projectile patterns.
-
Permanent Progression: Unlike Returnal, Saros features an "Armor Matrix" skill tree. You use "Lucenite" currency to buy permanent upgrades, making every death a tangible step forward in power.
-
Absorb & Convert (R1): Holding R1 generates a protective globe that absorbs blue projectiles and converts them into ammunition for your heavy power weapons.
-
Eclipse Corruption: Absorbing yellow projectiles causes "corruption," which lowers your max health until you purge it by using your power weapons effectively. Red projectiles are unblockable.
-
Alternate Fire (L2): Every weapon has a secondary fire mode. Pressing the L2 trigger halfway activates this unique module, changing the weapon's behavior (e.g., from a precise rifle to a crowd-control burst).
-
Biome Checkpoints: The game is structured into 20–30 minute runs, with checkpoints at the start of each biome, making the challenge more manageable than traditional roguelikes.
