Retroware surprised everyone earlier this year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. They’ve now released a new trailer for the brawler that was shown at the Guerilla Collective Showcase, featuring more action involving Toxie and the gang.
The story sees Dr. Killemoff and his Radiation Rangers once again causing trouble, and it’s up to Toxie and his team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength to stop Dr. Killemoff and his plans for global pollution.
Similar to Dotemu’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge last year, Toxic Crusaders will see you as Toxie with up to three other players in an arcade-style beat-’em-up. You’ll be able to choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, Headbanger, Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!
Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Originally aiming for a 2023 release, according to the game’s Steam page, Toxic Crusaders is now slated for a 2024 release. The game will also be headed to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One.
