Hack’n’Slash Action RPG Game ‘Demon Skin’ Heads to Consoles Next Month [Trailer]
Released on back in 2021 to Steam, ESDigital Games and Ludus Future’s hack’n’slash action RPG Demon Skin finally arrives on consoles this summer. The title will make its way into PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch on May 5th for $9.99. It will also debut on the Epic Games Store.
To celebrate the console release, the game will have a 20% discount during the first week on all platform (though the PlayStation version will be limited to PlayStation Plus members). In addition, the console versions of Demon Skin will include the previously-released DLC, “Crossroad of the World”, for free.
For those in need of a refresher, Demon Skin tells the story the Wanderer, whose world is threatened by darkness. Only the mighty Order of Wanderers whose members possess superhuman divine powers can resist that threat. One of the Wanderers (that’s you) witnesses a sinister ritual of restoring a powerful ancient artifact. In an attempt to break off the ceremony, he gets into a flow of energy released by the artifact — and instantly turns into a demon! To regain its former appearance, the Wanderer will need the artifact which was stolen after the ritual, sending him on a quest to find it, fighting the hordes of demons along the way.
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.
