Pixel-perfect developers Doinksoft (Gato Roboto, Gunbrella) and button-mashing publisher Devolver Digital have revealed that Dark Scrolls launches for PC and Nintendo Switch on May 28. This fantasy-themed action platformer fuses shmup-style chaos with roguelite progression and is packed with charm, challenge, and secrets.
Choose from a hefty cast of playable characters – including an axe-throwing warrior, a spell-slinging magician, a knife-hurling thief, or weirder heroes like a cute dog, an alien, or a rat playing a saxophone – and test your skills solo or in local or online co-op.
Features
- Choose from a cast of 9 playable characters and hurl axes, fling arrows, toss knives, and even flip steaks at a rogues’ gallery of bizarre enemies
- Each character, whether it’s a burly berserker or a saxophone-playing rat, has unique skills, side objectives, and customizable trinkets to experiment with
- Super authentic old school visuals, SFX, and music. Looks and sounds like classic games of yore, but with the sparkle of modern controls and design
- Procedurally generated levels stitched together from hand-crafted rooms. Every run offers new surprises, branching paths, and skill-testing bosses
Sharp reflexes and split-second decisions are crucial to survival. As the intensity ratchets up, each run delivers new surprises, branching paths, and unrelenting bosses to conquer. Gobble up coins to spend at Bruce & Goose’s Shoppe as you take a breath from the action to gain new perks, devastating attacks, and summoned allies. Stack them right, and you’ll unleash screen-filling destruction that is the stuff of arcade legends.
Dark Scrolls brings its crunchy pixel action to PC and Nintendo Switch on May 28.
