Salt and Sanctuary, the brutal hand-drawn 2D Soulslike platform game from **Ska Studios**, came with the help of porting specialist **BlitWorks**. Salt and Sanctuary seamlessly combines fast, brutal and complex 2D combat with richly developed RPG mechanics.

Discover, edit and upgrade more than 600 weapons, armor pieces, spells and items as you explore a cursed realm of forgotten cities, blood-soaked dungeons, desecrated monuments and the fallen noblemen they’ve ever celebrated.

Salt and Sanctuary is available in the eShop of the Nintendo Switch since August 2nd.
