Saltborn
A downloadable game
Saltborn — PS1‑style Pirate Action Roguelike
In‑development build v0.3.1 • Windows
Fight on the lower level of a pirate ship and last in endless mode as long as you can.
Procedural Ship‑Dungeon
Points of interest shuffle so every run has some variety.
Stitched Buffs
Pair On Kill / On Hit / On Crit triggers with consequences to forge broken synergies.
Armory
Weapon Barrels cough up axes, bees, bolts, compass shots & more—with rarity tiers and quirks.
v0.3.1 — Public Playtest
- New seed variants for early floors; improved enemy pathing inside tight hull spaces.
- Buff Stitching UI polish; clearer trigger → consequence pairing.
- Weapon Barrel logic avoids offering equipped weapons (smarter rerolls).
- Performance pass on particles + navmesh generation; fewer spawn hitches.
- Balance: soul coin drop rates tuned; tier weights curve adjusted.
