The series\u2019 first entry was a huge hit among Dark Souls fans, receiving very positive reviews overall and a near-perfect 9\/10 on Steam. When the developer first released Salt and Sacrifice, it launched as an Epic Games Store exclusive. The ambitious sequel is not making its way to Valve\u2019s platform just a little over a year following its initial release.<\/p>\n<p>Ska Studios, an indie team made up of just two developers, just revealed that\u00a0Salt and Sacrifice\u00a0is dropping on Steam. The\u00a0platform game\u00a0has been available to PC players using the Epic Games Store since May 2022, alongside its PlayStation 4 and 5 release, while Salt and Sanctuary on the other hand has received regular updates on Epic and Valve\u2019s platform since first coming to PC.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in wishlisting the game, you can do so on the official Salt and Sacrifice page via Steam. The upcoming release date falls is sooner than you may think, falling on\u00a0<strong>Tuesday, November 7<\/strong>. Ska Studios\u2019 sequel costs <strong>$19.99 \/ \u00a312.99.<\/strong> Players who haven\u2019t yet explored the game\u2019s predecessor can also try it on Steam for just\u00a0$17.99 \/ \u00a313.59.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"UZuIbooK28E\" data-embed-type=\"standard\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube Thumbnail\" width=\"100%\" height=\"309\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/UZuIbooK28E\/sddefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Salt duo of games\u00a0is widely considered a must-have experience for any Castlevania or Dark Souls fans as an indie homage to both.\u00a0With a solid\u00a0Metacritic\u00a0score, the original game defined what a 2D fan spin-off of a soulslike game could look and play like. The sequel feels similar, but it features online multiplayer reminiscent of FromSoftware\u2019s own as well as faction mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who doesn\u2019t generally play Soulsborne games myself, I can genuinely appreciate how beautiful the Salt games feel. The games give me major old-school Castlevania vibes, and I\u00a0absolutely adore\u00a0Konami\u2019s vampire game series. Symphony of the Night stans rise up, Ska Studios\u2019 indie duo will instantly speak to your nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>If you do enjoy FromSoftware\u2019s dark fantasy RPGs, then you should check out a few of the most challenging yet rewarding\u00a0games like Dark Souls\u00a0out there.
