After some delays with getting console certification, I’m happy to announce the release of Xbox, PlayStation and Switch (and Steam update) of Death by Scrolling on April 16.

Console and Steam feature a big update that includes a new playable character, new world, new powerups, new stuff and new fun. We completely reworked your ability to customize your character. It’s a huge update.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but are there any plans to release Death By Scrolling on GOG?

I would love to have this game someday on my Switch games shelf, physically!

Awesome, I was thinking this should be great on the Switch!

Cool. I love the bones of the game, but I do think the loop could use a little tweaking. Probably the thing I feel like it's crying out for the most is more differentiation between weapons. That typically does a lot to make the way you play the game feel very different, and so creates a lot of variety in loops. I'm sure you all did lots of playtesting, and maybe there was something specific that made implementing more variety in weapons not work as well as it does in other roguelikes, but that is just how I came away from it feeling. Still a wonderful game, and very happy to see that it is getting more love. Look forward to your next adventure, whatever form that might take!

Awesome! Been waiting for this on my Switch. Can take a break from Cyberpunk for awhile.

@ron Definite improvement! Played for a few hours this week and it felt better balanced. I find myself wishing I could go into the houses in the safe zones and there was some more character interaction lol.
