The SteamWorld series, originally created by Image and Form, spans multiple different genres over its history from tower defense to turn-based tactics. After a war, robots have driven humanity underground and have taken over the surface of the planet. These different games all take place in the same universe even as gameplay changes drastically.

Saros is a 3D bullet hell from Housemarque, following in the steps of their previous game, Returnal. Arjun Devraj has landed on the planet of Carcosa with his team, searching for ships that have previously gone missing on expeditions there. However, the planet is hostile and seems to be having an effect on the whole team’s mental state.
