12 Tips To Know Before Playing

Key Points:

• Saros, a challenging roguelike shooter by Housemarque, is available now for PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition owners and releases for everyone on April 30, with gameplay tips provided to help players navigate its difficulty and narrative structure.
• Returning frequently to the Passage base is recommended to experience the full story, as the game uses death as a narrative tool, and skipping returns can cause parts of the narrative to be missed.
• Exploring alternate paths marked by white flags on the minimap is usually beneficial, offering upgrades, healing items, and loadout changes with minimal risk, making detours worthwhile.
• Players should clear corruption from their health bar before collecting healing items by using powerful weapons, and melee attacks are effective for breaking shields and quickly dispatching certain enemies.
• The game features strategic elements such as optional Eclipse activations that increase difficulty for greater rewards, a valuable Overlord health regeneration perk for boss fights, and persistent progression items like Halcyon that provide long-term benefits.
