Housemarque studio has released a free Zenith update for the action-shooter Saros. According to lead game designer Abebe Tinari, the developers pursued two main goals: to offer more content to those who have already explored the world of Carcosa, and to make the game more accessible to a new audience.
One of the main innovations is the New Game+ mode, allowing players to return to the playthrough with additional challenges. The game also introduced the Overlord Rush mode, dedicated to boss battles. In it, enemies are divided into groups, each including up to three bosses. The final group combines all bosses in the game.
The developers have also expanded the options for difficulty and accessibility settings. In particular, players will be able to slow down enemy projectiles, which will allow for better reaction to dangerous attacks and simplify dodging in intense firefights.
Another important feature is auto-fire. If enabled, the character will automatically fire when the weapon is aimed at a hostile target. However, reloading still requires player participation.
