Devolver Digital announced on the 6th that Doinksoft's new retro dungeon crawler, 'Dark Scrolls', will launch on PC and Nintendo Switch on the 28th. It is a dungeon crawler that blends the chaotic energy of a retro shooter with the progression hooks of a roguelite, supporting both solo play and local/online co-op.

The core appeal lies in channeling that nostalgic arcade vibe from the corner shop, topped with a generous dash of roguelike unpredictability. You can pick from nine distinct characters, including a hatchet-tossing warrior, a spell-slinging mage, a knife-wielding rogue, and even a cute dog, an alien, and a rat playing the saxophone. As you venture through procedurally generated, handcrafted dungeons, you will face countless traps and enemies.

While trekking through the depths, you can spend coins at Bruce & Goose’s shop to snag new perks, devastating attacks, or summonable allies. Building the right synergy allows you to fill the screen with pure destruction. Every run offers fresh branches and formidable bosses, all wrapped in a proper old-school aesthetic, complete with retro SFX and music to tickle those nostalgia centres.
