Dark Scrolls
What critics said
Pure Nintendo60If you need a time waster and you're fond of sidescrollers, Dark Scrolls is an OK entry that can keep you busy for a while at a budget friendly price-point. It does the job for which it is designed, but the execution is a bit lackluster.
Nintendo Life70Dark Scrolls does a good job of balancing the cosy repetitiveness of a roguelike with the challenge inherent to the Soulslike genre. There are so many different ways to play, with six characters unlockable on top of the original three, all with their own unique abilities, movement and attack patterns.For the price, there's very little reason to not give this a shot, especially for those who gravitate towards pixel art or any of the genres encompassed within Dark Scrolls.
Shacknews60While it has plenty of charm and solid fundamentals, the nitty gritty in Dark Scrolls really weighs it down.

Review: Dark Scrolls (Switch) - A Retro-Styled Soulslike Side-Scroller At The Right Price
On a sc-roll? There are few better ways to spend $9.99 / £8.99 than on Dark Scrolls. The indie Soulslike side-scroller is something I’ll spend the rest of the year dipping into every now and again, itching for a run as a way to kill a train journey. It doesn’t offer the deepest gameplay, nor does it have a sprawling world hidden away in its depths, but strikes the right chord for the price point. Describing Dark Scrolls as a 'Soulslike side-scroller' is more of a shorthand than an all-encompassi

Devolver's 'Dark Scrolls' Mixes Roguelike Fantasy And Shmup Chaos On Switch This Month
Doom scrolling. If all of these modern games have left you craving something a little more retro, then Devolver Digital's next joint might be just the thing you're looking for. We first covered Dark Scrolls — the dungeon-scrolling fantasy game from Gato Roboto and Gunbrella dev Doinksoft — a couple of months ago, and today, it has dug up its release date: 28th May.
Dark Scrolls Preview - Challenging and Charming
Doinksoft and Devolver Digital's newly revealed Dark Scrolls is a fun and charming side-scroller that packs a punch.
Dark Scrolls is a dungeon scroller from the Gunbrella devs, starring fantasy staples like an obligatory thief and "Rat with saxophone"
Right, roll call time. "A barbarian (for all the bonk boys in the audience)". Present. A mage who's the smartypants choice. Yeah. A thief, who's both "classic" and "obligatory". Here. "Rat with saxophone". Yup. Right, that's all of the fantasy trope character types accounted for in Dark Scrolls, a roguelike dungeon-running platformer from the devs behind Gunbrella and Gato Roboto.

First Silksong, Now Mina The Hollower Is Causing Other Indie Devs To Delay Their Games
Make way for Mina! Just a few weeks ago, we learned that Devolver's throwback fantasy dungeon-scroller, Dark Scrolls, would be launching on Switch on 28th May. Well, it was later announced that another hotly anticipated retro-inspired indie would be launching the very same week, so Devolver and Doinksoft have decided to duck out of the way. In an updated trailer, the devs revealed that Dark Scrolls will now launch on 22nd June, a little under a month out from the previous date. Read the full art
