    Picked this up not knowing what it would be like. It is like a 2D version of Dark Souls. Highly recommended if you like a challenge. If you are not into challenging games however, then you should probably try before you buy.

    One of my favorite side-scrolling action games. Its heavily influenced by Dark Souls and the Metroidvania genre. It's combat is tight and the art design is bleak yet beautiful. I can't believe it was made by just two people.

    If you're a Souls fan then this game is an easy recommend. Its the closest any of the imitators have come to nailing the formula, and its fun to mess around with different builds. Only problem is the cheap artwork, but it was made by two people so I can forgive it.

    I like the ability to hack and slash mindlessly. This is easily the best game I've ever played. Everything from the art details to the mechanics. I'd highly recommend giving it a try if you like hack and slash games!

    A love letter to Souls fans

    Salt and Sanctuary in my opinion would have to be categorized as a love letter to Dark Souls but in side scroller form. It nails that feeling of what makes Souls games great and feels right at home on the Switch.

    An outstanding 2D, platformer, rpg. I’ve played it multiple times and never get bored. Co-op makes it even better, but it can only be played on the same console for two player, not online.

    Side Scrolling but with Final Fantasy grid upgrading. So take your take the Grind from the start to get the best materials and upgrade your level to do more damages.

    If you're looking for a game to challenge you, this is it. I'm talking Dark Souls difficulty but in a 2d side scroller. What completes the game is the soundtrack, amazing!

    An ugly game with a poor tutorial, this game is only a functional game with competent programming. The story, atmosphere, and mechanics aren't anything but working.

    Horray! A physical version. And it's for Nintendo Switch. Played on PS4 first. Great mix of Castlevania and Dark Souls.

    Reminds me of dark souls, however this is a 2D side scroller which is probably the only difference. Definitely worth the purchase.

    Very nice and fun blending of old NES games like Castlevania, Metroid & Dragon Warrior with a more modern feel of Dark Souls.
