‘GRIME’ Heads to Playstation and Xbox Consoles December 15; New Free “Colors of Rot” Expansion Announced [Trailer]
Clover Bite is finally bringing their soulslike Metroidvania GRIME to consoles next month. And along with it, existing players and newcomers will also be able to enjoy a new expansion for GRIME in the form of “Colors of Rot”.
Announced for a December 15th release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One (Nintendo Switch users will sadly still have to wait, despite the previously-announced “Summer 2022” release), GRIME will also feature the “Colors of Rot” expansion. This DLC will be included with the PlayStation and Xbox versions from the start, and will be available as a free update for the existing PC version on Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.
“Colors of Rot” introduces new abilities, new weapons, new enemies, and a whole new area for players to explore and uncover called Childbed.
GRIME is an action-adventure RPG where you play as a humanoid being after having been “squeezed into existence” from unusual material. Born into an alien world, you survive by crushing your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen yourself in a world of “anatomical horror and intrigue.” You’ll have to make use of GRIME’s parrying mechanic, which is key to defeating foes and absorbing them to grow your strength.
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.
