PQube and Inti Creates have confirmed a release date for Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark on Nintendo Switch.
This gothic-inspired 2D action-adventure is set in the Demon Realm, a world of endless demonic civil war where Demon Lords battle day and night over its control.
When Kirikia and Masha, maids who serve the Demon Lord Maxim, return to their castle to discover that it has been destroyed by rival Demon Lord Lyzenorg, they must journey to restore their master to his former glory. Their story of revenge and revival begins!
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Gal*Gun-vania: Now a full-realized metroidvania, uncover countless combos and possibilities as you explore the Demon Realm with your two upgradeable characters.
- Revive Your Allies: Each of Maxim’s vassals you find and revive will strengthen your home base, the Demon Lord’s castle! As you rebuild, unlock bonus features which assist you on your quest for revenge.
- Sister Power: Kirika and Masha, the two sister maid heroines, each bring their own unique gameplay styles. One attacks with demonic guns whilst the other covers close range attacks with her whip!
- Couch and Online Co-op: play together locally or online, each player controlling a sister, opening up countless possibilities to discover new places or defeat difficult enemies through teamwork.
- Collect and Craft: Defeating enemies and discovering chests will earn you random drops of consumable items, sub-weapons, and even passive enhancements called “Demon Relics”. Use these items to unlock new special abilities needed to access new areas of the map.
- Choose your “Style”: Inheriting the “Style” system of its predecessor, you can choose to play “Casual”, “Veteran”, or “Legend” modes, available to switch between at any time with unified content across all modes.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 27 March 2025, with a physical edition to come later.
