Salt and Sacrifice casts you as a condemned Marked Inquisitor sent into a western frontier where elemental Mages threaten a once-peaceful kingdom. The setting’s danger is not confined to a distant villain: these powerful, twisted beings roam the realm, and the Inquisitors’ task is to pursue and destroy them. A buried secret adds an ancient empire’s possible ruin to the larger crisis, giving the hunt a wider backdrop.
The game ties combat to its prey: weapons and armor can be made from the flesh and bones of defeated Mages, while dozens of weapons and runic arts let players turn forms of corrupt magic against their users. Exploration unfolds in a large, labyrinthine world populated by scavengers, secrets, traps, and powerful guardians. Together, the hunt, salvage, and hazardous terrain give the action RPG a distinctive loop of tracking threats and using the spoils of victory to shape a character’s arsenal.
Its format supports solo play as well as online cooperation, including drop-in quickplay, and faction-based PvP.
