Sands of Salzaar News

Hello everyone! Sands of Salzaar has been early access on steam for a while now. During this period, we have focused on fixing issues and improving the game experience. We have gotten so much support and help from so many players, thank you all very very much for this!

February is the first big update month for Sands of Salzaar. We will bring a lot of new stuff in the next update, such as a new starting class!

Characters in our other game -- [ 汉家江湖 ] will come to the world of Sands of Salzaar as free DLC characters. They could be recruited in the game, or you could play as them to start a new adventure.

We have also reworked the notification system, some missions, stories, and timed-events. Now, these events will be presented in a new way and adding more freedom of choice to the players. Not just pop-ups anymore.
