Salt and Sanctuary is a very stylish looking 2D action RPG with haunting visuals and fast paced combat. Looks like Ethan Lee is having a go at porting it.

Very few games make me think "woah!" and this game certainly did. Ethan is offering no dates or promises, but he's getting to it:

QuoteNo timeline (or even any promises) but I'm looking at it now. May as well point it out since my name's green now... >_>


Also mentioned to me on twitter:

@gamingonlinux Yeah, I'm looking at it. That's all we know right now.

Hopefully it will turn out to be easily portable!

About the game

Salt and Sanctuary seamlessly combines fast, brutal, and complex 2D combat with richly developed RPG mechanics. Discover, craft, and upgrade over 600 weapons, armor pieces, spells, and items as you explore a cursed realm of forgotten cities, blood-soaked dungeons, desecrated monuments, and the fallen lords they once celebrated.

Thanks for the info FutureSuture!

Quoting: HadBabitsHmm, looks fun, and I do love me some Dark Soulsian action :) Though, something about the protagonist designs seem a bit too cartoony to me? 0.o

Edit: Upon closer inspection it's really just their faces that put me off. Looks almost kind of anime? And despite some character showing some facial stubble they all look 12 o3o

Edit²: Woah, on even closer inspection they've got really weird eyes and no nose 0.0

I do not know what kind of anime you have been watching, but the faces have been likened to fish. The bit about lacking noses and ears seems to corroborate this.

If you look at trailers for their earlier games, it's clear this is a consistent style for the artist. I thought it was unusual too, but it's not often you see any of the characters in anything close to close-up, so in watching it I found that since it's consistent the style quickly became normalized.

Haven't played dark souls but this looks like something I've been searching for a while, hope steam controller works well.

Looks interesting. If the Linux version is on for a deal I'll pick it up.
