The Return of an Indie Favorite
The sequel to the beloved 2D Dark Souls, "Salt and Sacrifice," is finally coming to Steam. Developed by Ska Studios, the game is a follow-up to the iconic 2D Soulslike "Salt and Sanctuary," which was highly praised by Dark Souls fans and received near-perfect reviews on Steam. Originally released exclusively on the Epic Games Store, "Salt and Sacrifice" is now making its way to Valve's platform, just over a year after its initial release.
A Dark Adventure Awaits
Indie development team Ska Studios, consisting of just two developers, has announced that "Salt and Sacrifice" is now available on Steam. The platformer has been available for PC players on the Epic Games Store since May 2022, alongside its PlayStation 4 and 5 versions. Meanwhile, "Salt and Sanctuary" has been receiving regular updates on both the Epic and Valve platforms since its initial PC release.
How to Get the Game
Interested individuals can add the game to their wishlist on the official "Salt and Sacrifice" page on Steam. The upcoming release date is closer than you might think: Tuesday, November 7th.
Why Salt and Sacrifice is a Must-Have
The Salt games are generally considered a must-have for any Castlevania or Dark Souls fan. With a solid Metacritic rating, the original game defined what a 2D fan spin-off of a Soulslike game could look and play like. The sequel feels similar but offers online multiplayer reminiscent of FromSoftware's, as well as faction mechanics.

For those who enjoy FromSoftware's dark fantasy RPGs, there are some of the most challenging and rewarding games like Dark Souls. Alternatively, they can also browse through some impressive indie games to discover more hidden gems.
