Yes, the game features multiple endings that are determined by your alliances and choices throughout the playthrough. Defeating the final bosses and interacting with specific NPCs will lock you into one of several distinct conclusions.
Is there local co-op or multiplayer in Salt and Sanctuary?
Yes, unlike many 2D metroidvanias, the game features a unique local co-op mode. Players can use a Stone Sellsword item to summon a friend for couch co-op, though online multiplayer is not natively supported.
Who developed and published Salt and Sanctuary?
The game was developed and published by Ska Studios, an indie team helmed by James and Michelle Silva. It was initially released for PlayStation 4 and PC in 2016 before coming to other platforms.
