Our take on Salt and Sacrifice
Its focus on hunting Mages and building gear from their remains leaves less room for a quieter, character-led adventure. The labyrinthine world and combat-heavy structure also make exploration serve encounters and progression rather than a purely relaxed journey.
What is Salt and Sacrifice?
Salt and Sacrifice is an action RPG set in a kingdom disrupted by elemental Mages.
Players take the role of Marked Inquisitors and travel through the western frontier to track, hunt, and defeat these hostile beings. Mage remains provide materials for crafting weapons and armor, while runic arts offer additional combat options. The world contains scavengers, hidden areas, traps, and guardians across a large, maze-like landscape. Online play supports full cooperative sessions with another Inquisitor, drop-in quickplay cooperation, and player-versus-player battles through several factions. The game also presents choices within its Inquisition setting and follows a threat tied to an ancient empire.
