The title is a sequel to Gal Guardians: Demon Purge, expanding to become a full-fledged Metroidvania game that supports up to 2 players. At the time of this writing, a release date has not been confirmed.
Check out the trailer below:
■ Introduction
Inti Creates has unveiled Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, their newest 2D action game project, ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2024. They have announced that development has begun on the new game and a trailer will be on display at the Inti Creates booth (Hall 8-S02) at the show.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark is a 2D action adventure starring two new characters. 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 two-player cooperative play, allowing two players anywhere in the world to control the two sisters simultaneously. Inti Creates is deep in development on the title, ensuring every element of gameplay is on the cutting edge of 2D action and exploration.
■ Player Characters
The two stars of Servants of the Dark are the sisters Kirika and Masha, maids to the Demon Lord Maxim. Players will need to switch between the long-range Kirika and short-range Masha as they adventure through the underworld dominated by their enemies, repair their ruined demon castle, and strive to revive their Demon Lord.
Kirika
The demon maid Kirika is a cool and collected long-range master! She creates guns out of thin air, defeating enemies from a safe distance.
Masha
Younger sister Masha is an expert with her whip, capable of conjuring multiple effects!
