Inti Creates has announced Metroidvania Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, the latest in the company’s new Gal Guardians franchise.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is set to launch globally across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Take control of the demon sisters Kirika and Masha as they attempt to revive their Demon Lord Maxim and rebuild their castle in this 2D action Metroidvania adventure!
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.
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.
