Devolver Digital and Oregon studio doinksoft have launched Dark Scrolls today, June 22, 2026, on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. After a short slip from its original window, the fantasy action-platformer is finally out — and the developers are sweetening the arrival with a giveaway that is hard to argue with.
Dark Scrolls fuses the bullet-spraying chaos of a shoot ’em up with roguelite structure. You pick one of nine playable heroes — ranging from the expected sword-and-sorcery types to a saxophone-playing rat — and hack, slash and dodge through procedurally arranged runs built from hand-crafted rooms. Each character carries unique attacks and abilities, so the build you settle into shifts dramatically depending on who you choose.
Free Gunbrella and Gato Roboto for early buyers
Here is the headline deal: anyone who buys Dark Scrolls automatically receives Gunbrella and Gato Roboto — two of doinksoft's earlier, well-reviewed titles — completely free. That bundle, alongside a 10% launch discount, is only available until July 6, 2026, so the window to grab three doinksoft games for the price of one is tight.
Runs can be tackled solo or in co-op, both online and local, which leans into the studio's pick-up-and-play sensibility. The hand-drawn pixel art is dense with detail, and the room-by-room pacing keeps individual attempts short enough to chase ‘one more run’ long into the evening.
It is an unusually generous launch from a publisher that has built its reputation on exactly this kind of stylish, mechanically dense indie. If you have been meaning to try doinksoft's back catalogue, Dark Scrolls is now the obvious entry point — it brings the other two along for the ride.
