Huge, sprawling map, Excellent Souls homage, Grim, attractive art style, Fun combat
Poor explanation of some mechanics
You could call Salt and Sanctuary a 2D mashup of Dark Souls and Castlevania, and you'd be right. But such a simple pronouncement would be a disservice to the tremendous amount of thought that's gone into Salt and Sanctuary, whether it's in the graphic sty...
Abstract: Lots of games compare themselves to Dark Souls these days. Why wouldn't they? From Software's instant classic began as a niche import with Demon's Souls before taking the world by storm and spreading its influence everywhere. "It's like Dark Souls with zo...
Challenging side-scrolling action, Diverse, unique boss fights, Tons of replayability
It borrows a lot from Dark Souls, Some parts are unfairly difficult
Salt and Sanctuary isn't the most original game in the world, but Ska Studio's take on a 2D Souls game has enough going for it to stand on its own two legs. It's held back somewhat by occasionally cheap difficulty spikes, but that shouldn't deter you from...

The best portable version of Salt and Sanctuary yet, A lot of value packed into this cheap game, Loads of ways to play the game thanks to the expansive skill tree

Salt and Sanctuary is a good 2D conversion of the Souls formula, but its experimental nature invites more than a few flaws. If you don't mind difficult-to-see graphics and sometimes cheap combat, then you'll happily come back for more...

Superbly designed world encourages exploration, Rich in mysteries, Tense and rewarding combat, Challenging but fair difficulty
Salt and Sanctuary is full of depth for players to dig into, with satisfying combat and an alluring world. Once you get oriented with what the game has to offer, it is hard to put the controller down. It is easy to lose yourself figuring out strategies to...
