About the Game

A DECEPTIVELY BEAUTIFUL WORLD
A seemingly peaceful village becomes the target of a brutal orc attack. As Arvin—a local warrior and defender—you stand against overwhelming odds to fight the horde. However, it quickly becomes clear that the invasion is just the tip of the iceberg. A powerful magic slumbers beneath the earth, and the local baron hides a dark secret known as Bloodsalt. Who is the real monster: the barbaric beasts or the greedy humans in power?

Bloodsalt is a story-driven, 2D Action RPG that combines dynamic combat with a deep character progression system and tough moral choices.

KEY FEATURES:

Dynamic combat and character progression
Chain rapid strikes to charge your energy bar, then unleash devastating heavy attacks and special abilities. Your character grows alongside the story—you begin with a basic move set, but over time, by training with masters, you will unlock essential techniques like dodge, charge, and block. Manage your energy wisely to overcome any opponent.

Challenging boss battles
On your journey, you will come face-to-face with unique foes—from commanders of the orc horde to beasts completely corrupted by the dark magic of Bloodsalt. Victory in these encounters requires patience and strategy. Observe your enemy's movements, dodge at the perfect moment, and strike with full force as soon as they expose a weak spot.

Contrasting, dark visuals
Take in a world brought to life through beautiful, hand-drawn 2D vector graphics. Do not be fooled by the picturesque villages, however—in your search for the truth, you will descend into terrifying caves, dark forests, and bloody enemy camps, where the visuals take on a raw, brutal character.

Dynamic dialogue and deadly consequences
In Bloodsalt, you are not just a spectator. The game world reacts to your actions and decisions. Watch your words, though. They carry immense weight, and audacity or a wrong decision at a critical moment can bring your story to a sudden, brutal end. Your choices will shape the ultimate fate of the kingdom.

Advanced gear system
Collect loot from defeated enemies and complete quests for the villagers to acquire new gear. All armor pieces and weapons not only affect your stats but are also fully visible on your character model during gameplay.

A living, simulated world
The world of Bloodsalt is teeming with life, where every character has their own schedule and daily routine. If a villager mentions they were patrolling the forest, they were actually there. Meet a diverse cast of characters with whom you can join forces to track clues, fight side by side, and uncover the secrets hidden under the cover of night.
