It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 16 achievements to unlock.

How it was received

Dark Scrolls holds a critic score of 86 out of 100. That places it above 86% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored 8 points above the year average.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3-6300 / AMD FX-8320, 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 760 / Radeon R9 270X / Iris Xe Graphics. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
