Salt and Sanctuary launches for the Switch on August 2nd

​


There won't just be one major indie game hitting the Switch next week, but two. It's called Salt & Sanctuary and is described as taking heavy inspiration from Dark Souls, in order to create a challenging 2D action RPG. The game is hailed as successfully adapting the Dark Souls formula into 2D. It originally launched in 2016, but the Switch port will be out on August 2nd. Blitworks will be in charge of the Switch version, and it'll cost $17.99 on the eShop.

What's the thing that makes 2D platforms difficult? Fast paced actions? Unforgiving platforms? Something that I couldn't see in the trailer. Pass :(

Very nice. This is one of the few portable titles I was jealous at Vita for having. Should look even better on the Switch screen, and I love what I've played of it on PC.

Dark Souls-inspired mechanics is what makes it difficult. You've got i-frames on your dodge, and different classes/stat allocation, but for the most part it's take three to five clean hits without healing and you're dead, less with bosses. Discussing it makes me want to jump back in...but I've still got Bloodborne and God of War to get through too.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
