Developer Housemarque has released a free major update titled "SAROS: Zenith" for their bullet-hell action game SAROS. Available now to all owners of the game, the update focuses on two primary goals: improving overall accessibility and adding substantial replay value for experienced players.
To help newcomers and players seeking a more approachable pace, the update introduces new accessibility options including adjustable game-speed reduction and auto-firing. The speed-lowering feature decreases the game's overall speed to give players more time to react to enemy attacks and execute jumps, dashes, shields, and parries, and can be customized or toggled manually. Meanwhile, the auto-firing function automatically discharges weapons when aimed at enemies to reduce button-holding fatigue, though manual timing is still required for "perfect reloads."
