Dark Fantasy VR Title ‘EVERSLAUGHT Invasion’ Announced for Meta Quest 2 [Trailer]
Ahead of Gamescom kicking off tomorrow, Fast Travel Games (the same folks behind Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife) and developer MobX Games have unveiled their dark fantasy co-op VR title EVERSLAUGHT Invasion, which is currently being developer for the Meta Quest 2. Scheduled to arrive in early 2023, EVERSLAUGHT Invasion is set in the same universe as MobX’s 2021 VR title EVERSLAUGHT, which is still in Early Access on Steam.
Designed for 1-2 players, EVERSLAUGHT Invasion puts you in the boots of a hero of the secretive Cleric order on a mission to defeat the evil and ever-expanding faction of the Corrupted. Players will choose from one of three classes to play as – Warrior, Rogue or Vanguard – each with their own unique playstyle and tools.
Details on EVERSLAUGHT Invasion are a scant for the moment, but one of main draws for the game is the hookshot, which offers enhanced mobility while as you figuratively fly around to bash monsters. You’ll need to do so in order to face off against the waves of monsters you’ll be facing, as well as seek higher ground when things get heavy. You’ll also be gathering loot and unlocking new skills & weaponry through the game’s progression system. Did we mention that you’ll also be getting an airship from where you’ll be doing these upgrades in between missions?
No word on if EVERSLAUGHT Invasion is a Meta Quest 2 exclusive, or if PC or console users will be seeing it in the future.
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.
