Salt and Sanctuary: Drowned Tome Edition - Nintendo Switch

This game does an incredible job at immersing you into the story with its beautiful artistic world and extremely addicting gameplay. I just received this in the mail today and popped it in, 4 hours passed so fast! And like everyone has said the best way to describe Salt and Sanctuary is a “2D Souls” game. That is the truth, but it still has subtleties that make it a game on its own and with those differences it manages to not come off like some Souls knockoff. You can clearly see and feel how much love went into this game. If you like challenging 2D side scrollers, FromSoftware Souls games, or just want to try something different. Buy this!

It's like official reviews highlight. It is like Dark Souls but in 2D. It makes for an excellent Metroidvania. Exploration is thrilling. Your never know what's behind next corner, it could be nice loot or a life-or-death fight. Controls response is tight so if you die it's on you. It's a very hard unforgiving game. You'll die a lot until you get it right. I did and I've beaten a couple of bosses in a one go. So be persistent.

Reviewers have said this game is like a side-scrolling Dark Souls. I have to agree (not having played the Souls games, but heard reviews on podcasts) I agree that you much be very careful how you approach enemies, and if you die, it is because YOU did something wrong and weren't careful enough. This is a medieval age game where you pick your class and work your way to the next sanctuary where you can set-up and have a new point from where you go exploring (and where you are resurrected when you die, which you will, a lot). The progress is a bit slow, but enough that it is very satisfying when you unlock a new place, or get enough material to upgrade your weapons. You will get hours of play out of it if you don't mind the slog. A lot of game for a value price

Prepare yourself for one of the greatest challenges and one of the best platform experiences of your gaming life. A well delivered story wrapped in some of the best 2D gameplay you'll experience. Now this is a challenge, the game expects you to play. But so long as you're not a so called games journalist, you should be ok. Get this game. You won't be disappointed.

I love this game so much. It's one of the few games out there that tries to emulate the style of Dark Souls and succeeds. The atmosphere is dark, gloomy, and oppressive. The level design is brilliant and a joy to explore, it's tight and clever with lots of shortcuts back to previous locations to unlock along your way. The rpg elements are really well done, you can level up, find new equipment and upgrade them. The game offers a really unique massive skill grid that's akin to games like path of exile which allows for a ton of freedom in building your character. Can't recommend this game enough if you're fond of games like Dark Souls.

As a big fan of Demon's/Dark Souls games, I always wanted to give this a try. It's basically a 2D version of Dark souls. Although the art style may be a bit of a turn off, I'm a big fan of it as it reminds me of older games. The combat is fluid, and there are many different styles to try in this game. I highly recommend this one!

Great job thanks so much for the game and service . Great great great

This is the Drowned Tome edition so it comes with a few extras inside the case. You get a small map and a code to download the soundtrack, as well as a two sided poster and a manual. The game plays like a metroidvania. A side scroller where you make your way through the stage killing all the enemies and finding and using numerous weapons. the game is kind of dark, as in most everything is colored black and difficult to make out if you're playing in handheld mode. But this is a great, well reviewed game. A must play!
