Battle Demons in Dark Fantasy Arcade Game ‘Infernal Radiation’, Launching in Steam Early Access Tomorrow
For those looking to battle demons and infernal possessions in a gothic/dark-fantasy setting, Polish developer Asmodev has got you covered with Infernal Radiation, which is set to release on Steam Early Access tomorrow. The game is also being developed for the Nintendo Switch.
Focusing on a unique audio-visual style set in what’s called the Asmodev universe, Infernal Radiation has the player stepping into the shoes of an unyielding exorcist situated on Halloween Island, a place that’s recently experienced tragedy. An explosion at a power plant that produced energy from hellfire has resulted in many of the residents being exposed to infernal radiation, leading to numerous possessions around the island. And naturally, you’ve got to clean it up.
Sporting an “easy to play, hard to master” motif, you wield 9 special abilities against 20 different bosses. This is all set in a world combining gothic and dark fantasy elements, full of horror and black humour. And if that’s not enough, you can also check out Asodev’s other upcoming game, Priest Simulator, which is coincidentally also on Steam.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
