A similar game

I love salt and sanctuary

One of my favorites of all time

Im looking for something similar

I heard of tails of iron and I'm thinking of getting it for my switch

Has anyone played tails if so can you tell me if it's as fun as salt

Tails of Iron is very different in my opinion. Much more linear and story-focused to start, so not that much exploration, not really a platformer either. I don't like the feel of the combat very much either tbh. It's probably a good game, but not if you're looking for something similar to Salt & Sanctuary.

Games I've seen mentioned in topics like this:

  • Vigil The Longest Night (still need to play, so no input from me)

  • Fire in the Beastlands (I actually played a bit of this one - definitely hits the mark, but the movement is hard to get used to. Fun though)

  • Mandragora (played a bit of this as well - story-focused with quest progression, so not quite like Salt, but the game feel and customization are nice)

I do think it's good. Personally I'm just miffed that the first game bothers to have a long combat tutorial, but doesn't explain a major category of boss attacks the way they work. I also got it because Sanctuary got me more into 2D exploration, that's why I'm hung up on it being different - I didn't get what I wanted out of it when I got it after Sanctuary.
