Gal Guardians Sequel 'Servants of the Dark' Will Feature Online Co-op

A Metroidvania sequel with both local and online co-op? Yes, please!

Gal Guardians: Demon Purge was one of my favorite games of 2023, featuring tight Castlevania III-style gameplay and great local co-op. This must be my lucky day, as Inti Creates and PQUBE have just announced a sequel called Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark. The new game will be a full-fledged Metroidvania platformer with support for both local and online co-op, and it's coming to all platforms in March.

Servants of the Dark stars a pair of new protagonists: Kirika and Masha. The two maids work for a deposed Demon Lord named Maxim. They must work together to secure revenge for Maxim and restore him to power in the Demon Realm. Like the first game, both "Gal Guardians" will play completely differently from each other.

Gal Guardians Servants of the Dark

Features:

  • 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 come to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam on March 27, 2025. Physical versions for PlayStation 5 and Switch will arrive at a later date.
