Sept. 2025

I completely see why this game has such mixed reviews. The first game, Salt & Sanctuary was one of the early Souls-likes and a fantastic example of how to do the souls formula in a 2D style. It really nailed the sense of dread and loneliness that Dark Souls 1 gave me in my first playthrough - walking into an area and thinking 'Oh fuck.' And the light lore that's given is creepy and intriguing. And the level design was excellent, bordering on the metroidvania in terms of how good the exploration and secret hunting was. Unfortunately, the sequel does away with this and instead gives you a hub area that is far too large for how little it is needed, getting from the blacksmith to the level up statue to the level selection portal is a chore and a chore you'll frequently have to undergo. Speaking of the level portal, instead of a large interconnected world, you select from a small amount of large-ish levels at the hub and portal into them. Each area is done for good once you've gotten what you need from it. No backtracking for special secrets, or at least, very little. The bosses. The bosses can be really fun, but it's a shame they changed things up with the mage hunting mechanic. This is the biggest flaw with the game for me. Instead of well balanced and interesting boss fights with their own arenas and vibe, you get a handful of those and a few dozen 'mages'. Roaming bosses that you have to find, smack the shit out of and eventually showdown with. It get's repetative after a while but the loot they drop does let you make boss armour and items which is cool. So why do I recommend it? It might not be as good as the first one, but the game is fun, and I did finish it. I really enjoyed the optional area and the bosses it had. The potential for broken builds is very good and a lot of fun, I got a boss melting poison build going that took the final boss out for me in one attempt. If you haven't played the first game, get that instead, it's better for sure. But if you want to try this after the first, bare in mind these criticisms. If you can get past these then you'll have a good time. And it's certainly not bad for £16.75. Runs great on SteamDeck with very little battery usage (great for long trips).

At first, I was confused because instead of 2d Dark Souls like first game, you have a base camp and going to hunt mages and craft equipments from their material? But when you understand that "hunting mage" mechanic, its fucking perfection. That mages are actually live and wondering in their areas like Monster Hunter. Fighting with them feels like a boss fight and very fun. Recommend very hard

Salt and Sacrifice is good in co-op mode. However, the game has some weaknesses, especially compared to its predecessor: - Inventory management - Grinding fighting the sames mages for crafting items - the mages keep spawning as “normal” enemies and thus lose their epic character - sometimes there are annoying jump'n'run scenes I still give it a thumbs up because it's fun for two.

Very good 2D souls like game, fun bosses, good combat, interesting machanics. Would reocmmed but with a warning I dont like platforming here, too many times you just die to falling.

Dec. 2024

Salt and Sacrifice is an RPG with its predecessor style - Salt and Sanctuary - that didn't follow the Dark Soul formula and instead went through a Monster Hunter approach. Compared to Salt and Sanctuary, it lets players have a more relaxed time fighting new bosses by farming the equipment from the previous ones that appear as mages, hence Monster Hunter vibes rather than Dark Soul - you lose your gathered ''salt'' for leveling if you don't use it before getting killed - you can cheese ''former bosses / mages'' by kiting them one against the other (at least in the first zone). It has huge improvements on cooperative gameplay as you can even play from the same PC/station, plugging two gamepads for example (PVE, PVP, split screen, couch coop, etc... are all on the table). The ''story'' doesn't look to me as appealing as SKA Studio's first game SaS, as it seems it unfolds almost all in the beginning - Salt and Sanctuary's was better narrated perhaps (?). Combat system is similar - if not same - as its first one, but you get upgrades much faster - or at least that is my impression, not something that I dislike as I go for an easier gameplay, but it strides further away from its predecessor - and I guess this might be one of the main reasons why this game has mixed reviews on Steam at the moment. All in all I like it and Salt and Sacrifice doesn't have anything less than other Metroidvanias/RPG/etc... on the market.
