Limited Run Games will release the limited run physical edition of Ska Studios’ stylized 2D action RPG Salt and Sanctuary for PS Vita and PlayStation 4 via the Limited Run Games online store on August 24, the company announced during its E3 2018 press conference.
Here is an overview of the game:
About
Shipwrecked on a mysterious island in the sea that lies between nations at war, a faceless sailor must fight to survive. Salt and Sanctuary is the hardcore action RPG side scroller from Ska Studios, the creators of The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and Charlie Murder. Salt and Sanctuary combines deep character building and customization with Ska Studios’ signature style: richly stylized and hand-drawn environments and animated 2D characters, precise controls, and fair but brutal gameplay in a hauntingly beautiful universe.
