Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark takes the tight action players enjoyed in “Gal Guardians: Demon Purge” and vastly increases the exploration and collection elements, shifting genres completely to a full Metroidvania for an all-new experience. Servants of the Dark moves the setting from a single demonic castle to the entirety of the demon world. Players will control two demon maids as they explore the underworld: Kirika and her younger sister Masha. They each have different attacks and abilities, requiring players to switch between the two as they explore each area, upgrade their weapons, defeat demonic bosses, and revive their master, the Demon Lord Maxim. Additionally, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark features online 2-player co-op, allowing two players anywhere in the world to control the two sisters simultaneously. The 2D action experts at INTI CREATES are hard at work ensuring every element of gameplay is on the cutting edge of 2D action and exploration.
Originally titled Grim Guardians, the first game in the series was rebranded in the west following a trademark dispute in the west. Luckily Inti Creates is also known for their Gal Gun series and serendipitously the new name almost works better in our opinion. The series is still called Grim Guardians in Japan.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC (via Steam).
