Salt 2: Shores of Gold Steam deal, Digi Mart USA News: Salt 2: Shores of Gold, an open-world adventure game from Lavaboots Studios, is currently available on Steam for $9.99. The game supports solo play or cooperative play with up to five friends, according to the publisher report.
In the game, players take on the role of a castaway who must gather resources, build a raft and set sail. The world is procedurally generated, and players can use various resources to customize their ship as they progress.
Players can discover ruins, caves, pirate camps, seaports and more than 200 dungeons, which the developers describe as inspired by Diablo and Skyrim. The game also requires survival tasks such as fishing, crafting and cooking, along with combat against enemies, bosses and dangerous wildlife.
According to the developers, the game has no player-versus-player combat, a point some players appreciate. Reviewers cited in the report praised the visuals and gameplay mechanics, while some players described the game as repetitive, criticised its first-person perspective and reported bugs and optimisation issues.
TechGoggles praised the game’s concept and its sunrises and sunsets, calling the levelling system solid. VGTimes described the game as too simple, even by indie standards.
Despite these mixed views, 84% of its 2,385 Steam reviews are positive.
According to the report, the game’s price is scheduled to return to $19.99 on November 16, 2026. The report cites SteamDB as showing that this price was first reached on April 17, 2023. Retailer price changes may occur, and the deal may be subject to time restrictions or limited availability.
