Saros Patch is Here, Brings Balancing Changes, Fixes, and New UI Color Settings

Saros has quickly become popular since it launched, offering a gameplay experience that feels both new and true to Housemarque’s signature style. While the game has been running well overall, the developers are always looking for ways to make it even better.

Okay, so the devs just pushed a new patch, and it’s got some cool stuff. They’re nerfing the Power Generator perk a little bit – it won’t give quite as much energy as before. But, they’re buffing the Powered Dash Artifact, so it should be way more useful. They also made bouncing bullets more accurate, which is awesome! Plus, they’ve been tweaking the UI to make it easier to read and customize. There are also a few little performance improvements, but the patch notes aren’t super long, so it’s a pretty quick read if you want the details.
