  • The dark edge this real-time sim has some appeal even if the variety offered isn't terribly high

    Real-time strategy at one time was an absolutely huge genre in the gaming community, with the likes of the Command and Conquer and Warcraft/StarCraft leading the pack, but that has been mostly dormant for quite some time. I traditionally think of it as a PC genre as well, but for the most part thankfully using a controller usually doesn’t seem like a major impediment. In the case of Sea Salt while you won’t be worrying over resource collection (a positive in my book), you will be managing a pack of dark minions of various types trying to exact punishment as a vengeful sea god who has seen their followers betray them. The resulting gameplay is a mixture of strategy, tension, and sometimes amusement as you’ll need to be smart about how you manage and add to your flock to avoid a variety of traps, characters with special attacks, and what are typically tricky boss battles. While I wouldn’t say it jumps out as an experience that anyone will enjoy this genre isn’t widely represented on the console and among them this may be the most satisfying of its brethren, though I may be biased as I like the dark carnage this offers up as your minions rip through the unfaithful.
