We don’t have much love for the game series Gal Gunbut in 2023 we met its funny spin-off Grim Guardians which abandoned its controversial ‘rail shooter’ mechanics in favor of 2-D action and platforming. Now it turns out that it will have a sequel in the form of Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark which will put us in control of the villains from the previous game.
Inti Creates and PQube announced this sequel with the trailer that you can see below.
As you can see, we will no longer control the demon hunters Shinobu and Maya Kamizono, but the demon sisters and maids Kirika and Masha. Their goal is to explore Maxim’s ruined castle to discover a way to bring him back to life.
Like Maya and Shinobu, Kirika and Masha will have different abilities. One will specialize in ranged attacks with magic and a firearm, and the other in melee damage with a very Castlevania-esque whip. A single player can switch between the two at any time, or two players can each take charge of one of them.
Grim Guardians It was a level-based action game with some ‘metroidvania’ elements, but it seems that Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark It will be a full-fledged metroidvania with a single, huge map.
Although Inti Creates did not announce the release date of Gal Guardians: Servants of the Darkwe know it’s coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
