Overview
- Dark Scrolls is a pixel-art side-scrolling dungeon scroller that blends shmup-style action with roguelite progression.
- The game supports solo play as well as local and online co-op, including the ability to revive a teammate mid-run.
- Players choose from nine distinct heroes with unique skills, side objectives, and customizable trinkets.
- Runs stitch together hand-crafted rooms into branching routes with bosses, and coins can be spent at Bruce & Goose’s Shoppe for perks, attacks, and allies.
- Developer Cullen Dwyer framed the design as a response to modern uses of the term “roguelike,” underscoring a focus on arcade challenge and replayability.
