  DARK SCROLLS IS OUT NOW! 🪓

  Well…it’s finally happened!DARK SCROLLS IS OUT NOW! 🪓 After countless hours in the dungeon, creating increasingly questionable heroes and arguing over whether a saxophone-playing rat should be banned from the shop (the answer is always yes), Dark Scrolls is finally out in the world on PC & Nintendo Switch!We wanted to create something that captures that feeling of old-school arcade games, whilst also throwing in all the things we love: frantic action, weirdo characters, co-op chaos and the kind of runs where everything falls apart…until suddenly you’re the most powerful thing on the screen. Whether you’re hurling axes as Grizz, mastering mayhem with Emerys or abducting half the dungeon as Saturn, every hero will bring their own unique playstyle, abilities and ridiculous personality to the adventure. 🛸 There’s 9 to choose from, so i’m sure you’ll find one you like. No two runs will ever be the same, as you battle through procedurally generated dungeons built from handcrafted rooms. Discover branching paths, relentless bosses and spend your hard earned coins at Bruce & Goose’s shoppe to unlock powerful perks and devastating attacks! Tackle the dungeon solo or bring a friend along in local or online co-op! (If you play with someone, at least you’ll have someone other than yourself to blame).As a thank you for supporting us, Dark Scrolls is launching with a 10% discount for the first 2 weeks, and you can also receive free copies of Gunbrella and Gato Roboto* when you pick up the game in eligible territories. Now it’s time to go make some questionable decisions. We'll see you in the dungeon. 🪓 BUNDLE DISCOUNTS *Free game offer not available in all territories.

  Ever met an alien with a machine gun? 👽

  You probably thought things couldn’t get any stranger than a saxophone playing rat…well, guess what? We actually saved the weirdest for last! Ever met an alien with a machine gun? Well now you have! MEET SATURN, a little flying alien with a UFO’s worth of confidence and absolutely zero interest in walking. Saturn’s controls are somewhat conventional:🔫 Press shoot to fire his hit scan machine gun straight ahead.⬇️ Press jump to fire straight down instead. Sounds pretty simple, until you realise you have to watch for his ammo bar floating above his head. No spraying bullets without consequences in this game! Don’t worry, the weird part is coming…Saturn can use 🛸 ABDUCT! Summon a tractor beam beneath, sucking up just about anything he can get away with, enemies, coins, props…if it fits the beam, it’s fair game. Everything you abduct earns EXP, which means you can level up mid-run, boosting your ammo capacity, fire rate, and firepower! A true extra-terrestrial menace. If your strategy plan is ‘take everything valuable and shoot the rest’ then Saturn is the hero for you! And there you have it, that’s all the heroes in Dark Scrolls! Which one are you taking into the dungeon first? Not long now till Dark Scrolls drops next week on June 22nd, so make sure to wishlist and dive into the dungeon as soon as it lands!

  Time to CHEF IT UP! 🥩

  Who needs swords when you have a…well-balanced diet? Introducing CONFIT, the dungeon’s finest chef and the only hero capable of solving problems with an alarming amount of airborne meat.If lobbing food at enemies sounds enticing to you, then you’ll definitely love Confit. 🍖 Throw meat, snacks and whatever else was cooking in the kitchen that day. Better yet, his projectiles bounce off enemies and pass straight through walls, because physics doesn’t exist here. Dinner and a show ✨ Double jump and Confit tosses four cuts of meat in a diamond pattern around himself, becoming invulnerable until he lands. Perfect for escaping danger and seasoning the battlefield. But...what is the point of a chef without cooking? 🍲 Confit slams down a giant pot and starts cooking at a ridiculous speed, launching a storm of flying food into the air. He might even whip up a healing heart for the team, if luck is on your side.Enjoy projectiles, feeding your friends and turning every run into a health and safety violation? Then Confit might just be your dude. Dark Scrolls drops REALLY SOON on June 22nd, so make sure you’ve wishlisted to dive in as soon as it lands!

  Fall in love with QUINN 💘

  An angel sent from the heavens, Quinn is here to steal your heart. 💘 Armed with her trusty bow, Quinn prefers to keep her distance, peppering her enemies with long range arrows while everyone keeps busy getting hit by traps. ✨ A dramatic exit ✨Double jump and she gracefully backsteps out of danger, firing three arrows as she takes flight! Another double jump in the sky sends an arrow straight below and lands her safely back on the ground. However, Quinn’s real strength is her AURA 😎Stand inside her healing ring to keep yourself alive, and as an added bonus, Quinn also gets a fire-rate boost (cos’ confidence is contagious.)If you like keeping your friends alive, looking pretty while doing it and basically carrying the run, Quinn might just be your perfect match 💞Dark Scrolls drops this month on June 22nd, so make sure you’ve wishlisted to dive in as soon as it lands!
