Salt and Sanctuary: Drowned Tome Edition - Nintendo Switch

If you like Dark Souls, Metroid, and Castlevania games you’ll love this game. Salt and Sanctuary is a beautiful 2D metroidvania Souls inspired game. Combat controls are crisp and concise, and just like dark souls combat is difficult but rewarding. The game has easily a 40-50+hr campaign/content. That’s about how long it took me to complete all hidden secret and main areas for my first co-op playthrough. Unfortunately Salt and Sanctuary does not offer online multiplayer but does do 2 player couch co-op which is fantastic. Again if you like dark souls, Metroid, or Castlevania style games then you’ll love 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.

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.

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!

Salt and the Sanctuary is a 2D plat-former, heavily inspired by the Dark Souls games. There have been many titles very similar to the Souls games created, and Salt and the Sanctuary was one of the first to do so. If you're a fan of the Souls games, or are looking for a challenging 2D title, give Salt and Sanctuary a spin.

If you've played Dark Souls you will recognize a lot of features in this game. From armor to rings this game is nearly identical except it's a side scroller. You can roll and block and do nearly all the same things too. You even level up in much the same way. Great game that will take a while to master!

This game's developers ( a husband and wife team ) basically made a 2D version of Dark Souls and it is awesome. I own this on the Switch, PS Vita and PS4 and love it on all three. ( Basically did it to support them so they would make more games) If you are a Souls fan you need to get this game.

Probably one of the best Metroidvanias I've played in recent years. The Souls inspiration is all over, but it's best enjoyed as a grim, eerie, and fun Metroidvania indie title. Tons of fun and content, and the physical version has enough extra goodies for the price. Recommended easily.
