Sea Salt

Sea Salt is a real-time action game that mixes swarms, positioning, and a dark occult theme, so it is for players who like controlling pressure rather than one hero. By our assessment, its strongest idea is the asymmetric feel of pushing minions into an area and managing when to commit and when to hold back. The downside is that this kind of action can become messy to read, especially when the screen fills with movement and effects. In practice it asks for attention to crowd shape and timing more than for clean arcade reflexes. Against more straightforward hack-and-slash games, it is stranger and more tactical, but also more tiring to parse. That makes it a better fit for players who enjoy experimental combat systems than for anyone who wants simple clarity. The game name fits the mood: short, sharp, and a little hostile.
