Fresh from the weird, wonderful minds at Doinksoft – creators of Gato Roboto, Gunbrella, and Demon Throttle – comes Dark Scrolls, a pixel-perfect dungeon scroller that enthusiastically fuses challenging shmup-like chaos with compelling roguelike progression.
Set forth on your quest to [INSERT GOAL HERE] with one of the worthy yet quirky heroes in solo or cooperative play, local and online. Hack, slash, and dodge through hordes of enemies and deadly traps in procedurally generated runs of hand-crafted rooms and levels using each hero’s unique attacks and abilities to your advantage.

“Whenever I search for ‘roguelike’ I don’t find what I’m looking for,” says Doinksoft’s Cullen Dwyer. “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.”
