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.

Its a better game than salt and sanctuary, but the change from being a souls-like to a monsterhunter-like didn't vibe with a lot of players, myself included. The developers wanted to make something different and their passion really shines through their work, but it didn't work out as well as intended. It's not a bad game by any metric, but I understand why sanctuary fans didn't like it.

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.

Game gets a lot of flak but I thought it was an enjoyable sequel to the original. While it wasn't as good, it definitely had it's own strengths and was a solid 2D soulslike. I, for one, enjoyed the Mage Hunts that are so unpopular. Chasing them around was a pretty unique idea and while it can get annoying (especially with platforming), it wasn't as bad as I'd heard. Plus seeing Mages fight each other was cool. I just took the biggest Oonga Boonga stick conceivable and stuck to it till the end and won by the sheer mass and weight of my biggus bonkus. Bravo S&S you've done it again

Great game, but Salt and Sanctuary is still better. The mage hunts and everything is fun, but I think the Demon Souls-esque hub isn't really my thing. Jumping into different worlds from the hub has always made the game feel more disjointed and like each area is a separate world. I like when it is one giant map that you travel to different biomes in, not warp out to a hub and then just warp somewhere entirely different. In general though, there are a lot of things that just don't feel as good as in Salt and Sanctuary. Is Salt and Sacrifice great? Yeah, but if you want to play one of the two games, go with Salt and Sanctuary.
