Dark Scrolls Reviews
It’s an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys games that demand persistence, precision and just a little bit of stubbornness
Doinksoft flirts with the party game genre in an eccentric and chaotic tribute to the great classics of the late 80s.

Fortunately, this game features a roguelike progression system. Everything you collect during your walkthrough can be used in your village. Updates and the like are therefore collected gradually, allowing you to become stronger and stronger. As a result, the levels naturally become more bearable and easier depending on the amount of money and points you manage to gather. Dark Scrolls is generally quite good and is a game that is easy to play. Unfortunately, it loses some points due to the not-so-intuitive controls. However, if you enjoy old NES games with fun co-op, then you will likely get something out of this. The full playthrough takes about 6-10 hours. For ten dollars, it is up to you to consider if it is worth it.

Dark Scrolls presents an intriguing concept by blending platforming, shoot ’em up, and roguelite elements within a charming retro-inspired aesthetic. Its diverse cast of characters, enjoyable co-op gameplay, excellent pixel art, and fast-paced action stand out as key strengths. However, the execution falls short of its potential, with imprecise controls, frustratingly unfair moments, uninspired level design, and repetition setting in too early. While there is some fun to be found, these shortcomings ultimately prevent the game from maintaining its appeal from start to finish.

In theory, I should enjoy Dark Scrolls a lot more, but its charming aesthetic and strong audiovisual design ultimately can't make up for the fact that this auto-scrolling platformer just isn't very fun to play.

Dark Scrolls is a title I should have loved and instead loathed. It is not offensively bad or poorly made, so you may find some fun here that I did not.
