PQube and Inti Creates have pinned down the release date for their much-anticipated game, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Set against the backdrop of a gothic 2D action-adventure, the game unfolds in the Demon Realm, a land where demonic battles rage on incessantly, as Demon Lords vie for supremacy day and night.
Enter Kirikia and Masha, loyal maids to Demon Lord Maxim, who find their castle laid to waste by the rival Demon Lord Lyzenorg. Determined to restore their master to his former glory, they embark on an epic journey of revenge and redemption.
The game promises a plethora of exciting features, as laid out by the publisher:
Imagine Gal*Gun-vania: Embrace the full potential of a metroidvania, navigating the Demon Realm with your two upgradeable protagonists, discovering countless combos and hidden treasures along the way.
Bring Your Allies Back to Life: As you find and revive Maxim’s loyal vassals, you’ll also strengthen your home base—the Demon Lord’s castle. This not only helps you improve your stronghold but also unlocks special features that aid you on your path to vengeance.
Harness Sister Power: The two heroic sisters, Kirika and Masha, each possess distinct gameplay styles. Kirika wields formidable demonic guns for ranged attacks, while Masha supports with her trusty whip for close combat.
Dive into Couch and Online Co-op: Whether you’re teaming up locally or online, each player takes control of one sister. Collaborate to uncover hidden paths and conquer challenging foes together.
Master Collecting and Crafting: By defeating enemies and raiding treasure chests, you’ll receive random drops of consumables, sub-weapons, and even unique items known as “Demon Relics.” Use these to unlock new abilities essential for exploring new map areas.
Choose Your Play “Style”: Mirroring its predecessor’s “Style” system, you can freely switch among “Casual,” “Veteran,” or “Legend” modes, enjoying a unified gaming experience across all modes.
Mark your calendars for 27 March 2025, as Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark makes its digital debut on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide. A physical edition is also in the works, due to be released later.
