Inti Creates has announced a sequel to the widely acclaimed side-scrolling action platformer Gal Guardians: Demon Purge, titled Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark.
The Gal Guardians series combines classic Castlevania-style gameplay elements, including exploration and puzzle-solving, with modern action mechanics such as swordplay and firearms. A key feature is the ability to switch between two sister protagonists each with their own unique abilities.
Gal Guardians: Demon Purge was well-received by fans as a spin-off from the popular Gal*Gun rail shooter series, where players shoot girls with pheromones to make them fall in love.
In contrast, Gal Guardians takes on a darker, more action-oriented tone while reimagining characters from the Gal*Gun series, with Shinobu and Maya from Gal*Gun Double Peace given a fresh take in Demon Purge.
The unexpected sequel to the spin-off, Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, will shift focus away from the original two protagonists and instead center around two new sisters, Masha and Kirika Kurashiki.
Right: Masha
Kirika was previously portrayed as an NPC in the mainline Gal*Gun series.
Depicted as seductive demon maids serving the Demon Lord Maxim, the two sisters, Masha and Kirika, embark on a mission to restore their demon castle, revive their master, and navigate the underworld. Players can switch between the siblings, with Kirika excelling at long-range attacks and Masha specializing in close-quarters combat.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam at a yet-to-be-announced release date.
The game will feature a two-player co-op mode, allowing friends to control both sisters simultaneously. Inti Creates is fully immersed in the title’s development, ensuring cutting-edge 2D action and exploration.
With the first Gal Guardians spin-off receiving an 81% rating on Steam from over 860 reviews, fans of retro-style 2D pixel action games are sure to appreciate what Inti Creates is crafting.
