Salt and Sanctuary

★★☆☆☆☆☆ 这游戏简直烂透了。角色画风古怪，整体画面昏暗压抑，就算当作美术特色也很难接受。战斗手感十分卡手，连招、闪避很别扭，我勉强说服自己是类魂游戏的特殊机制。 但最折磨人的是设计上的恶意，游戏没有内置地图，迷宫式区域极易迷路，武器升级需要的材料藏在各种犄角旮旯，不查攻略根本找不到。大量强制跳跳乐平台，容错极低，稍有失误直接摔死。 明明是类银河恶魔城，却连最基础的地图功能都不给，反复迷路、反复摔死，大量精力浪费在无意义跑图和平台跳跃上，纯粹恶心玩家。喜欢流畅探索的玩家不建议入手。

Лучший 2D souls-like за всё время

A True 2D Souls Like Masterpiece & Labor of Love Salt and Sanctuary is an incredible 2D Souls-like that stands as a genuine hidden gem. You can tell from the moment you start playing that this game was a total labor of love made by 2 developers—the sheer amount of detail poured into every mechanics and area is staggering. The Pros Dark & Unique Atmosphere: The art style is very distinct and original for a 2D game. It has a gritty, dark charm that really grows on you as you explore. Exceptional World Design: The world is massive, beautifully detailed, and deeply interconnected. Every area feels original, and the combat throughout is rock-solid, including blocking, Parry and finishers. Massive Build Variety: The options here are huge. You have melee, ranged weapons, magic, summons, tons of weapon types with unique move sets, a massive skill tree, and upgrade paths for all your gear and armor. Deep World Mechanics: Packed with a vast variety of enemies, challenging bosses, and unique Creeds (factions) to join, giving you endless ways to play. Challenging but Fair: It nails the Souls-like balance—it demands skill and patience, but it never feels cheap. Excellent Lore & Solid Music: The lore is deep and rewarding to uncover, supported by a great atmospheric soundtrack. The Drawbacks No In-Game Map: The world is huge and heavily interconnected, so without a map, it’s very easy to get lost trying to figure out where to head next—or remembering where you left a specific NPC. No Voice Acting: All dialogue is text-based, which might disorient players expecting full voice work. Difficulty spikes: There are 3 to 4 areas in the game that the game difficulty jumps exponentially and if your build is not up to speed could make the game a lot harder than it needs to be. Verdict By the time the credits rolled, I was left craving more. Between the solid combat, massive build variety, and incredible world design, this is one of the best 2D Souls like action-RPGs out there. An absolute must-play.

Good. Not good enough to NG+ right away, but good. I may do my second run after I let it marinate overnight. Platforming is a bit irritating sometimes when it asks for a bit of precision that doesn't exist. Bosses were decent although checking defenses on the wiki became almost mandatory to not walk in there with a totally useless weapon. I'd like to see a couple of boss runs not exist, even if they were for gravitas. Definitely didn't take enough advantage of placing offerings for vendors/teleporters etc. until over halfway through the game. Make your offerings! I also ended up installing a drop rate boost mod after resting 48 times in the Ziggurat of Dust to kill Lietches for an upgrade item that doesn't become common until the very endgame. This is a game that regularly goes on sale for $5. I picked it up as part of the Beyond the Metroidverse bundle for an absolute steal. It's cheap enough to try and cheap enough to drop it if you don't like it.

没见过这么nt的地图设计，动不动就摔死，摔落伤害是真高，摔死几十次，比杰洛特还废物，boss战最多死了五六次

Great game. Unfortunately the sequel is absolutely awful in comparison.

SEHR GEIL!
