Sands of Salzaar – Roleplaying Game Review

What Makes Sands of Salzaar Stand Out
This is a fantastical tale of an exotic land. The Old Empire has fallen, leaving rival tribes to fight for control of the great desert. Little do they know of the seeds of darkness which grow in the shadows with each passing day…
Sands of Salzaar is an open-world strategy-action RPG set across a sprawling desert. Build up and manage your forces from a single unit to a mighty army, then lead them into massive battles against your foes. How you progress is up to you: customize your hero with a wide variety of skills and talents, choose which factions to side with, and plan your strategies carefully to establish yourself as whoever you aspire to be – a lone wolf, a wealthy trader, a city lord, or a war schemer.
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
The performance of the game starts to drop quickly in relation to your and your enemys army growth. It made our phone hot and the battery was still going downward while playing even if charging! Installing any dlc will result in untranslated text. Theres crashes. Not recommended.
Please please please please add controller support for backbone this game and heros adventure need controller support we cant get enough of these games.
Bought the game and then all the DLC. Played it a bit and found it enjoyable. Come the day of our flight, we found out that you cannot play without signing in online with an internet connection. Is it really necessary? Please make this game offline and we will happily increase our stars with a detailed review. Gate-keeping a single-player game is trashy. At least make it a single sign-on when a customer opens it the first time.
We love this game. Had it on pc and we love that we can play it on the go. However we bought all the dlcs and it seems like some of them still need translations into English. Other than that Im having a great time.
Psychic armor skill no longer work on wizards after the latest updates and Chinese is no longer an option. Please fix it.
Ive previously played this game on pc and love it. It is a huge same that this port is such garbage. The game gets stuck in a different language and deleting and installing it again does nothing. This is all in spite that after researching into it this has been complained about for over a year. Aside from that having to log in every time you open the app and the fact that it doesnt even fit properly on the screen makes it unplayable.
1- add randomized lot for bigger dungeons 2-obviously expand and add more dungeons, tents, caves etc 3- upgradable weapon levels and stats 4- more weapon types 5- more elements that counter one another 6- bigger spells.
We like the game we have only one huge issue the spirit witch quest has a bug where we cant ask locals about Zarathustra so Im stuck without ever being able to finish the game on spirit witch.
Fun game loved it on PC. Would love to use our Backbone with it, then just riding the horse and moving our character. Other than that, great game.

Please remove the need for internet on this game. Why do we need to log in to play a single payer sandbox game. Completely ruins the purpose. We bought this game for a long flight and now we cannot even play it because we have to be connected to the internet. If we could get a refund we would. It says nowhere in your description that it has to be online. We will change this rating once this happens- this game looks great and we want to dive into it. Edit For those who want to play this game offline- log in once and create an account once you are logged in do not log out. You can then play in airplane mode without issue.
Was looking for a kenshi-like game on iOS for quite some time. This one is as close, as you can get now (feb 2023). It still has a few translation flaws but all game breaking bugs have been fixed with v.1.0.20, including the annoying random crashes. Kudos to devs for quick fixes.
Its a great game, though some translations are missing and it crashes semi-frequently. Wish leveling was slightly faster but otherwise its a great game.
Just commenting here to advise that the language issue lamented by many reviewers appears to be fixed. We havent run into any issues with language settings changing. The game is quite engaging.
Controller support would be dope.
You need to be logged in to play. Are you serious.
Amazing game till we opened the settings menu and changed something. The language became Chineese and now we have no idea how to change it back. Cant play the game now.
Changed a setting and now everything is in a language we dont understand.
Started the game changed a setting and now its in Chinese with no option to change it back to English.
We started the game. It was in English. We went into the settings changed something that wasnt the language and now everything is in Chinese. We cant figure out how to get it back to English.
Dont buy this until they fix this bug. Unplayable.
Changing any option in the menu makes all text Chinese and requires a reinstallation.
