Salt and Sacrifice, the follow-up to Ska Studios’ 2D Souls-like Salt and Sanctuary, is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam on November 7th. It’s currently available for PS4, PS5 and PC via the Epic Games Store – check out the announcement trailer below.
Set in a realm under siege by Mages, players control Marked Inquisitors who hunt them down. Unlike the first game, which took more of a Metroidvania approach, Salt and Sacrifice is more like Monster Hunter, as you pursue targets across stages. Defeat them to farm their materials and create powerful weapons and armor (including sets with unique bonuses) while also learning Runic Arts.
Co-op is also included – check out some gameplay from the same here. You can also read our review here. Though it launched with some performance issues and received criticism for its repetition, Salt and Sacrifice may be worth checking out for fans of the original.
