Yo, listen up, gamers! Salt and Sacrifice, that boss-level soulslike platformer from Ska Studios and Devoured Studios, is gearing up to take your gaming sessions to the next level. How? By launching on Steam for Windows PC (oh yeah, Deck playable with Verification planned) and Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2023. But wait, there’s more. The same day will drop a free update called “The Traitor’s Tomb,” available to all the game owners on PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. So mark your calendars because this is a double whammy you don’t want to miss.
Mage Hunting Just Got Real
Corrupted Mages are causing mayhem in Altarstone Kingdom, showing off their sick elemental abilities. Here’s where you and other Marked Inquisitors come in. Your mission? To bring down these menacing Mages and give the Kingdom some much-needed peace. Plus, it’s a chance for your forsaken soul to find some redemption. Kind of a win-win, right?
Choose Your Fighter, Build Your Arsenal
With eight different character classes on offer, you can customize your playstyle like a pro. Whether you’re into swinging greatswords, rolling through foes to unleash dual-bladed mayhem, or slinging some heavy-duty sorcery, Salt and Sacrifice has got you covered. As you pummel Corrupted Mages into oblivion, collect their otherworldly bits and bobs to craft new, beastly gear.
Cross-Play and Factions? Count Us In!
Oh, you thought you had to go at it alone? Nah, team up with another Marked Inquisitor for some co-op hunting goodness. And thanks to the new cross-play support dropping with the launch, your squad options just got a whole lot wider. Jump into various factions tailored for PvE and PvP engagements. Ever heard of the Shroud Alliance? They specialize in taking down other Inquisitors for some sweet loot.
Explore and Conquer
Altarstone Kingdom is a sprawling, interconnected world filled with foes that can’t wait to meet the pointy end of your sword. Whether you ride solo or team up in multiplayer, the kingdom offers a challenging action RPG experience. Hidden secrets? Check. Deadly enemies? Double-check.
