‘Infernax’ “Deux or Die” Update Adds Multiplayer, New Character [Trailer]
If you still haven’t checked out The Arcade Crew and developer Berzerk Studio’s sidescrolling demon slayer Infernax, the latest update seems like a good place to start. The new “Deux or Die” update coming this Spring adds a new multiplayer mode to Infernax, along with and an additional character with two unique movesets.
The upcoming “Deux or Die” update for Infernax will allow for simultaneous two-player action, or in a hot-swappable single player mode. As such, the game will see a rebalancing for dual-hero fights. The update also introduces a new character into the fray in Cervul the Squire, a well-rounded lad who sports deadly talents in both throwing axe and tool-assisted combat.
Cervul’s abilities to perform various attacks and buffs grant advantages to either or both players. And in keeping with Infernax‘s path system, should you choose to follow the evil path, players will unlock an entirely different set of skills that focus on dealing damage with distinct tools and a more… explosive playstyle.
If that’s not enough, Infernax‘s spring content will also incorporate cooperative play in its fan-favorite gun mode. You’ll be able to unlock this Contra-style homage by (what else?) entering the classic “Konami” code.
Infernax is available now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and 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.
