A castle-action revival is born anew here. -- Demon Lord, it's time for revenge. -- - What is "Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark"? The latest installment in the "Gal Guardians" series of 2D side-scrolling action games about fighting demons arrives optimized for Nintendo Switch 2. The stage expands from a single castle to the entire demon realm, and the game achieves its long-awaited evolution from a stage-clear format to an exploration-based one. Players switch between two characters with different abilities, Kirika and Masha, as they explore the demon realm, upgrade their weapons, and battle the demon lords who rule each region. It's all to restore the standing of "Demon Lord Maxim," whom they serve. Both enemies and allies are demons, and demon hunters from the human world also join the fray, unfolding a wild and chaotic adventure story. [Nintendo Switch 2 Version Features] The Nintendo Switch 2 version adds features such as improved frame rate and support for 4K TV output. It also supports GameShare, letting you enjoy co-op play across two Nintendo Switch 2 systems even with a user who doesn't own the game. [Story] The demon realm is a land of endless conflict among demons. Among them, demons with especially great power are called "Demon Lords," who wage a constant struggle for supremacy over the realm day and night. One day, "Demon Lord Maxim," whom the protagonists Kirika and Masha serve as maids, has his castle destroyed by the rival Demon Lord "Lyzenorg." While his retainers are wiped out, Kirika and Masha survive. Demon Lord Maxim also barely survives, but his form is drastically transformed. So begins a story of revenge and revival for the three of them! - Explore the vast demon realm and revive the Demon Lord and your allies! While keeping the action that was well-received in the previous game, "Gal Guardians: Demon Purge," the exploration and collection elements have been given a major boost! The map has expanded from a stage-clear format to an exploration-based one -- in other words, a "Metroidvania" -- more than doubling the size of the previous game. The demon realm is scattered with puzzle elements such as hidden passages and gimmicks, which stand as obstacles to collecting Demon Lord Maxim's bones and reviving him. Depending on the situation of the sisters Kirika and Masha and the sub-weapons they carry, try out different routes and strategies to accomplish your goal! You can also expand and add support functions to your home base, the Demon Lord's castle, by finding the souls of the Demon Lord's retainers scattered across the realm and reviving them. Fully voiced dialogue scenes with the distinctive demon retainers add color to the moments between gameplay. - Devilish action switching between the sisters! The new playable characters are demon-maid sisters: the elder sister Kirika, who excels at ranged attacks, and the younger sister Masha, who excels at close-range attacks! The sub-weapons that consume magic power to use also differ between the sisters, so switch between them at the right moment to cover each other's weaknesses. Even if one of the sisters runs out of strength in battle against the demons, reaching her fallen sister lets you revive her through a "Sister Rescue." This title also supports local two-player simultaneous play, two-player simultaneous play via GameShare, and two-player simultaneous play via online co-op, so you can also enjoy exploration action with sisters from all over the world! - Rich collection elements! Treasure chests and hostile demons randomly drop consumable items, sub-weapons, and even the passive expansion item "Demon Relics." Obtaining these items unlocks new actions unique to the sisters, letting you enjoy further strategies and new route-exploration elements. You can also customize by combining sub-weapons with each other, so items you no longer need won't go to waste. Collect items to your heart's content, then combine and strengthen them! - Play in the "Style" that suits you! As in the previous game, three "Styles" -- "Casual," "Veteran," and "Legend" -- are available, so you can choose the one that suits you. You can change your "Style" as many times as you like during the game, with no difference in story content and no downsides. Choose the optimal "Style" based on your mood and what you feel like playing that day! [Limited Edition bonuses] a "Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark" Setting Materials Collection, a "Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark" soundtrack CD (two-disc set), and a "Kirika x Masha's Tea Time" acrylic keychain.
