Infamous Troma film turned short-lived cartoon, The Toxic Crusaders, now turned video game, will soon be available thanks to Limited Run Games! To celebrate this release, a brand new trailer has been released, showcasing the beat-em-up gameplay style and gaggle of toxic characters. Not only can players expect awesome features like the ability to switch between characters, but also unique abilities from seven playable pugilists. Don’t worry, even if they don’t really look it, they’re the good guys!
The Toxic Crusaders is the television show adaptation (and much more appropriate) of The Toxic Avenger by Troma Studios. While short-lived, the show maintained a massive cult following, resulting in their return to the big screen. In the game, The Crusaders will be able to play as and switch between seven characters, including Toxie, Nozone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, Headbanger, Yvonne, and Mrs. Junko, in order to defeat the evil Dr. Killemoff and the Radiation Rangers.
The footage lasts over a minute and is filled with vibrant atmospheres, intense melee attacks, and some truly overwhelming vibes. You can see Toxie waving his mop to take down the Rangers, while Junkyard looks around like a lost puppy. The locations featured also resemble some iconic sets from other Troma movies, whether we like it or not. Fortunately, players don’t have to face the challenges alone; they can recruit up to three friends to join in a four-player co-op mode.
While the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC, players can also snag a physical copy of The Toxic Crusaders, though its contents have yet to be revealed. In the meantime, fans can get a sweet double-sided The Toxic Crusaders poster over at the Retroware online store. Players can check out the demo on Steam as well.
