Salt 2 is an open world pirate game focused on exploration, survival, and crafting. Set sail across an infinite procedural world with just you and your ship. Explore islands filled with quests, caves, towns, pirates, and secrets. Level up skills, craft, hunt, fish, loot, and decorate your ship.
Players navigate the open seas using a compass and sextant, charting a course to uncharted islands scattered throughout the procedurally generated world. Each island hides its own unique secrets, from ruins and pirate camps to underwater caves and teleporting towers, encouraging players to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny.
As you scavenge resources from the islands, you can craft an expansive array of weapons, armor, tools, and over 50 different meal recipes that provide passive benefits. The real star, however, is your ship, which you can decorate with over 100 unique items, making it your true home at sea.
The game features a deep character progression system, allowing you to level up skills like weaponry, fishing, mining, and more. As you advance, you'll unlock new crafting recipes, access to higher-tier gear, and other upgrades that enhance your capabilities.
Obtain new objectives through a bulletin board/mailbox system, ranging from simple fetch quests to more involved storylines. You can also align with different factions, progressing through their questlines to earn valuable rewards.
Keeping your character fed and hydrated is essential for continued exploration. Fishing, hunting, and cooking become vital activities, adding a layer of tension and challenge as you scavenge for supplies.
The ability to freely dive underwater opens up a whole new realm of discovery. Submerged areas introduce new puzzles and challenges, further expanding the game's exploration-focused gameplay.
