Rob Pitt writes: I’m not the biggest fan of survival-based games if I’m being honest, I tend to become very frustrated with them and usually give up after an hour or two. However, there’s something about Smoke and Sacrifice which had me hooked from the start.
However, Smoke and Sacrifice isn’t an easy game, I could class it as the “Dark Souls of 2D Survival games” but that would just annoy people! Instead, I’ll just say that it’s not a walk in the park as you’ll die many times over along your journey into the dark, unknown void within the mists. I’ve played around 12 hours so far and I’m still a long way from the end, I’ve had to literally pull myself away from playing it in order to write this review.
Smoke and Sacrifice is a hand-illustrated, open-world, narrative-driven RPG, where exploiting living ecosystems is the key to your survival.
