I always look forward to souls-like games. On the other hand, they might go for something more dexterity-based, with little armor and a less capable weapon taking advantage of their movement to avoid getting hit and get out of sticky situations. Luckily the points can be refunded to restructure the skill tree this allows players to develop their combination of skills, making playstyles unique.įor example, players can choose to play a tanky build with heavy armor and a massive weapon, dishing out and absorbing enormous damage. There are over 600 items to discover and an extensive skill tree to invest in. Unlocking shortcuts allows players to cut down on travelling time and avoid needlessly fighting enemies when they fail and respawn at a bonfire. Salt and Sanctuary also applies Metroidvania like routes to its world, meaning all places are interconnected, and the player must venture to unlock shortcuts and find hidden secrets. The game is heavily inspired by dark souls, no doubt, with mechanics like resting on bonfires to replenish your resources, upgrading the playable character’s stats, and of course facing gigantic bosses who have a health pool ten times that of the player.
The game was favorably received by both critics and fans alike, praising the translation of the souls genre to a 2D platformer. Salt and Sanctuary is a 2D souls-like platformer that was developed by Ska Studios and released in 2016.
