    While Dark Scrolls boasts an excellent retro aesthetic and rock-solid platforming fundamentals, it ultimately fails to transcend mediocrity due to a lack of distinct innovation. However, for fans of Ghosts 'n Goblins looking for a reasonably challenging experience, it remains a highly competent homage well worth a casual playthrough.

    Dark Scrolls is a game which I reckon will be a perfect salve for some people, being a neat call-back to the days of 8-bit gaming and old school shmups, but I just found it to be a bit too samey. It's fun, sure, but it works best in shorter half hour bursts for me. I expect a bit more from my roguelites, but if you approach this as an arcade game instead, you'll be in a better frame of mind.

    Dark Scrolls is still a charming game that was clearly crafted with love and is worth checking out, regardless of your interests in side-scrollers and roguelikes. Just be prepared to climb out of that grave and into a solid adventure.
