What is the gameplay and story of Saros?

In Saros, you play as Arjun Devraj, who is a Soltari enforcer. He’s searching for answers on Carcosa, a sci-fi shape-shifting planet inhabited by hostile creatures.

In terms of gameplay, it’s a bullet-hell shooter where, if you die, you come back stronger. There’s a “Second Chance” feature that revives you instantly after your first death. You’ll also slowly upgrade your build as you learn from each death.

Another game that’s releasing around the same time as Saros is 007 First Light, which looks to be every bit as exciting.
