Announced at BitSummit
Inti Creates is at it again, continuing to corner the 2D market with the new action platformerGrim Guardians: Demon Purge. The game is actually being shown this weekend at BitSummit in Kyoto, Japan, on August 6 and 7.
Grim Guardianswill feature two playable characters (who are sisters) in the form of demon hunters trying to rescue their school from peril: Shinobu Kamizono (ranged attacker) and Maya Kamizono (melee). Inti Creates says “swapping characters is key to gameplay,” and in addition to solo play, there’s also a two-player co-op mode. As our own CJ Andriessen points out, those two names are fromGal Gun: Double Peace.
Amazingly, Inti Creates is calling this“the beginning of a brand new series of 2D action games,”hence the obvious subtitle. WhereasAzure Striker Gunvoltis their own take on theMega Manfranchise, so too willGrim Guardiansmirror aspects ofCastlevania(liketheirBloodstainedtie-in projects). Hey, if Konami isn’t going to do it, someone else should!
Grim Guardians: Demon Purgerelease date and platform info
As for a release date and platforms, the former is listed as “TBD,” but the latter includes PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.The official websitewill likely be the first place we’ll get that info.
Just as I said inmy recentAzure Striker Gunvolt 3review, I’m game for basically anything Inti Creates that even looks remotely likeGrim Guardians. This is an easy sell.
