Devolver Digital and Doinksoft have officially announced Dark Scrolls, an upcoming action-roguelike dungeon scroller set to launch later this year on Nintendo Switch.
Revealed today, Dark Scrolls marks the latest collaboration between the celebrated indie publisher and the innovative development team at Doinksoft—renowned for their work on Gato Roboto, Gunbrella, and Demon Throttle.
The game promises a compelling fusion of classic arcade chaos and the replayable depth of a modern roguelike, making it a highly anticipated addition to the Nintendo Switch library. Dark Scrolls invites players to embark on epic quests alongside a diverse cast of nine playable heroes.
Each character boasts distinct abilities, attacks, and even quirky side objectives, providing a varied gameplay experience.
Whether commanding a powerful berserker or taking control of an unconventional, saxophone-wielding rat, players must master unique skill sets while hurling axes, arrows, knives, and even eccentric projectiles such as steaks against a colorful assortment of enemies. Designed from the ground up for both solo adventurers and cooperative teams, Dark Scrolls supports local and online co-op on the Nintendo Switch.
Two players can join forces to strategize, assist, and revive each other mid-level, amplifying both the challenge and camaraderie of the dungeon-crawling experience.
Level layouts are procedurally generated from hand-crafted rooms, ensuring each run delivers branching paths, surprises, and an array of unyielding bosses that test reflexes and tactics. Devolver Digital and Doinksoft emphasize authenticity in Dark Scrolls’ visual and auditory design, incorporating pixel-perfect retro graphics alongside nostalgic sound effects and music that echo classic games—while leveraging the Nintendo Switch’s modern controls to ensure seamless, precise action.
Between intense battles, players can enter Bruce & Goose’s Shoppe to spend collected coins, unlocking perks, devastating new attacks, and powerful allies.
Strategic stacking of these enhancements can lead to massive, screen-filling assaults worthy of timeless arcade action. Dark Scrolls is set to launch via the Nintendo Switch eShop later in 2024.
This announcement continues the fruitful partnership between Devolver Digital and Doinksoft, building upon prior successes with Gato Roboto, Gunbrella, and Demon Throttle—each noted for their inventive mechanics and engaging gameplay.
With both local and online co-op modes, extensive character variety, and procedurally generated challenges, Dark Scrolls aims to appeal to fans of action roguelikes and retro-inspired adventures alike. Stay tuned for further updates, including the official release date and additional gameplay reveals, as Devolver Digital and Doinksoft prepare to bring Dark Scrolls to Nintendo Switch players worldwide.
