In the end, Sea Salt seems to be a passable title but it is not the case. As it stands, the game is very flawed. It's a pity because everything that shapes the game is almost perfect, and the atmosphere will make you want to stay. Basically, it would only take a change in the way you control the units, as well as rebalancing some enemies, to make the game very enjoyable. That said, for patient players, who are not afraid of being salty, you should take a look at this very promising game.

Sea Salt looks and feels like one of the great DOS games of yore. It features complex and well-designed pixel graphics with an interesting premise – being a dark, Lovecraftian god and punishing the unfaithful in the best way dark, Lovecraftian gods know how.

It’s perfect to play on these dark nights heading up to Halloween — especially for those who don’t mind watching their grand plan fall apart in spectacular ways.
