Retro Flavored Co-Op Adventure Dark Scrolls Launching This Year - Gamers Heroes

Bringing together shmup-like chaos with compelling roguelike progression, Doinksoft and Devolver Digital’s truly unique Dark Scrolls will launch for the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam this year.

Letting players hurl axes, fling arrows, toss knives and even flip steaks across nine playable characters, Dark Scrolls has players taking on branching paths and skill-testing bosses as they tap into its chaos.

See Dark Scrolls for yourself with the trailer below:

Doinksoft’s Cullen Dwyer said the following:

“Whenever I search for ‘roguelike’ I don’t find what I’m looking for.

I get a poker game or a pachinko game or a heartfelt narrative about a Greek god or a Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. 

How are those at all like a 1980s turn-based, grid-locked dungeon crawler that you can play in the command line with vim control bindings? They have ‘randomness?’ 

Pathetic. 

And here I am, part of the problem. 

Might as well call it a Metroidvania, too.”

Whatever you may call it, be sure to wishlist Dark Scrolls via its official Steam page.

For those feeling social, be sure to follow the official Twitter/X social media channel.

An official Discord channel is also available for those looking to join the conversation.
