    You can strongly dislike automatic side scrolling platformers and still love playing Dark Scrolls. I am proof in the proverbial pudding – I struggled to put it down. What sets Dark Scrolls apart from other platformers is its focus on simplicity. It’s a great co-op platformer that’s merely held back by its balance and relatively punishing progression. Its charm and co-op chaos will win you over the next time you want a party game to play with your friends!

    Dark Scrolls may not be the merciless challenge its name suggests, but it is a cleverly designed, charming and highly entertaining action game that makes it hard to put the controller down.

    As a co-op game, Dark Scrolls offers a whole heck of a lot of fun so make sure you bring a chum along for the ride to get the most out of it.
