Salt and Sacrifice is an action role-playing game with heavy Soulslike elements. As a Marked Inquisitor, the player character is a former criminal trying to redeem themselves by hunting down Mages, whose hearts they can consume to gain new powers and abilities. Featuring a combo system for every available weapon, the game also plays similarly to a Metroidvania, with players having to trace back their steps in order to discover secrets once they gain access to new abilities.

Players have a high degree of customizability in the game, allowing them to customize their Marked Inquisitor from their appearance to their weaponry, as well as their skills, weapons, and abilities. Players get to assign skill points to players when they trade salt for levels, purchase items and weapons using salt through merchants, and other similar customization options.
Salt and Sacrifice also offers online multiplayer options through cross-platform play. Players can cooperate and explore the Kingdom together, hunting down Mages as allies, or engage in PvP and see which Marked Inquisitor is better. Online multiplayer is perhaps the game's biggest improvement from its first game, which only featured couch-coop gameplay.
