AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Doinksoft and Devolver Digital have announced Dark Scrolls, a new procedural dungeon crawler featuring nine character classes, co-op support, and a saxophone playing rat.
Doinksoft, the creative force behind Gato Roboto and Gunbrella, is back with a brand new project called Dark Scrolls. Partnering once again with publisher Devolver Digital, the studio is tackling the crowded dungeon crawling and action platformer space with a heavy dose of signature style. The game leans into classic fantasy tropes with a tongue in cheek twist, offering up standard archetypes like a barbarian and a mage alongside an obligatory thief and a very important rat wielding a saxophone. Behind the humor lies a procedural action game built from hand crafted rooms, challenging players to hack and slash their way through diverse environments ranging from freezing mountain peaks to unexpected sci fi settings.
The gameplay loop focuses on high energy runs featuring branching paths, cooperative multiplayer options, and punishing boss fights at the end of each trek. Doinksoft is promising nine distinct character classes at launch, supported by a progressive perk system designed to let player power scale into absolute chaos once you figure out the synergies. You will even encounter a shopkeeping goose ready to honk at you while you browse upgrades. While the exact release date remains under wraps, the pedigree of the development team makes this one worth keeping on your radar as it heads toward a PC and console release.
For anyone looking for their next chaotic co-op obsession or a fresh addition to their Steam wishlist, checking out the original coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun provides all the early details. As the action roguelike genre continues to expand with countless entries fighting for our attention, games with distinct personality and tight mechanical foundations always stand the best chance of cutting through the noise. We will keep an eye on how Dark Scrolls shapes up as development continues.
