It’s been a long time coming but the brilliantly macabre side scrolling ‘Souls-like’ game – Salt and Sanctuary will be coming to the PS4 on march 15.

But don’t worry, the game is still currently going to be released on Vita and PC, just later in the year.

The latest game by Ska Studios, the guys behind the fantastic punk rock brawler Charlie Murder, and Brutal side scrolling action game The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai , Salt and Sanctuary tells the tale of a doomed sailor shipwrecked, battling against shambling hordes of the undead and other assorted nightmare fuel on an uncharted island.

According to the official spiel:

Salt and Sanctuary seamlessly combines fast, brutal, and complex 2D combat with richly developed RPG mechanics. Discover, craft, and upgrade over 600 weapons, armor pieces, spells, and items as you explore a cursed realm of forgotten cities, blood-soaked dungeons, desecrated monuments, and the fallen lords they once celebrated.

Personally I’ve been looking forward to this game since it was first announced. If you haven’t played either Charlie Murder, or The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, (and its sequel Vampire Smiles), I would heartily recommend it. There are few developers that would say have a proper style that is all of their own, but Ska-Studios have one of the boldest and downright coolest in the whole of gaming and every last one of their titles thus far has been balls to the wall awesome.
