Join your fellow Marked Inquisitors in this online coop successor to award-winning 2016 Soulslike Salt and Sanctuary.
RPG Gamers summarySalt and Sacrifice, the highly-anticipated title from the creators of Salt and Sanctuary, plunges players into an intense realm of elemental pandemonium. The game’s story centers around a once-peaceful kingdom that has been thrust into disarray by the arrival of Mages – brutal symbols of elemental chaos – resulting in a buried secret with the potential to reduce an ancient empire to mere ruins.
Players take on the role of a Marked Inquisitor, part of a doomed, condemned force that’s mobilized to combat the existential threat posed by these Magic wielders. As the Inquisitor, your player’s journey spans the western frontier with a single prime mission: the pursuit, hunting, and obliteration of roaming Mages.
Despite being bound to the Inquisition, Salt and Sacrifice places a significant emphasis on player choice. Each unique decision a player makes can considerably shape the game narrative. A standout feature of the game is its crafting system that allows players to forge weapons and armor from the remains of the defeated Mages. Players can also master a plethora of powerful weapons and runic arts, thereby gaining the ability to manipulate the same Magic that their foes wield.
Salt and Sacrifice’s world is intricate and detailed, encouraging players to venture into its large labyrinth-like landscapes filled with scavengers, secrets, and traps, all guarded by formidable entities, thereby enhancing the game’s explorative aspect.
Adding a unique dimension to this single-player adventure is the incorporation of online multiplayer options. Players can join forces with another Inquisitor for full online co-op access or participate in drop-in quick-play co-op sessions. For those who revel in fast-paced combat, Salt and Sacrifice also serves up chaotic player vs. player (PvP) engagements through various factions.
Undoubtedly, this game adds a fresh spin to the existing genre space, and it offers an intriguing story laden with complex characters, intense battles, and intricate world-building.
