Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark launches March 27 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. A free demo is available now featuring the opening movie, early segments of the story, and two-player local co-op. Moreover, players who complete the demo and pre-order the full game will receive the bonus sub-weapon DLC “Demon Maid’s Trusty Tools Set.”
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game from our previous coverage:
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.
