Then there's nothing else for us to do but start wandering around Alterstone. The authors give us eight classes - Highblade, Paladin, Assassin, Cleric, Dualist, Fighter, Ranger, Sage - which are differentiated in terms of combat skills, fighting style and preferred weapons. Before starting the game we create a character, deciding on his appearance and the crime he committed, as well as choosing his profession. In Salt and Sacrifice we observe the action from the side. The protagonist chooses the latter, thus condemning himself to eternal wandering, as if suspended between life and death. During the game we play as a criminal who was given a choice - he could agree to the death penalty or decide to serve as the Marked Inquisitor, a wandering hunter without fear, hunting the wicked mages terrorizing the land. Salt and Sacrifice takes us to a dark fantasy world, specifically - to the kingdom of Alterstone.

The title is a fruit of cooperation between independent teams Ska Studios and Devoured Studios. In Salt and Sacrifice, you are never safe.Salt and Sacrifice is a soulslike production realized in the convention of an action platform game, and at the same time a continuation of the warmly received Salt and Sanctuary. Every enemy you encounter can kill you with a few hits-and a boss is even more merciless. From there, you venture through the darkest places in Alderstone: haunted castles, underground tombs, and other dreadful locations. You start in a hub for Inquisitors called the Pardoner’s Vale where you can rest and recuperate. In Salt and Sacrifice, you are never safe.

You now have a grappling hook, can wall jump, craft gear, summon NPCs to help you, and call on other players using the new co-op feature. Salt and Sacrifice expands your gear and skills. Each class has its own equipment and starting skills, but can adjust your build as you level up. Start by building a character from one of eight classes: Assassin, Cleric, Fighter, Duelist, Highblade, Paladin, Ranger, or Sage. Your job: hunt down and destroy the most dangerous evil wizards of the land. You have been deemed a criminal, and for your crimes, you have been sentenced to become a Marked Inquisitor. Salt and Sacrifice is a Souls-like adventure game that brings the grimdark tone of the original into the new realm of Alderstone. The sequel to Salt and Sanctuary is here and it is grittier than ever.
