Magical castle action is reborn here. --Demon King, it's time for revenge. ■"Grim Guardians Servant of the Dark" is the latest work in the "Grim Guardians" series, a 2D side-scrolling action game where you fight demons. In this game, the stage has expanded from a single castle to the entire demon world, and the long-awaited evolution has been made from a stage clear type to an exploration type. Players can use two characters with different abilities, Kirika and Masha, to explore the demon world, strengthen their weapons, and fight against the boss demon lords who control each region. Everything is for the reinstatement of the "Demon King Maxim" whom he serves. Enemies are demons, allies are demons, and even demon hunters from the human world join the battle, and a chaotic adventure unfolds. ■Story A land where there is constant conflict between demons - the demon world. Among them, demons with great power are called ``demon lords,'' and the demon lords continue to fight for supremacy over the demon world day and night. One day, the demon lord Maxim, whose main characters Kirika and Masha serve as maids, has his castle destroyed by the enemy demon lord Risenog. Kirika and Masha survive while all of their vassals are killed. And although the demon lord Maxim survives, his appearance has changed dramatically. The story of the three's revenge and resurrection begins! ■Explore the vast demon world and revive the demon king and his friends! The action that was popular in the previous work "Grim Guardians Demon Purge" remains the same, but the exploration and collection play has been increased! The map has been expanded from a stage-clearing type to an exploration type, in other words, a "Metroidvania", and the size of the map is more than double that of the previous work. The demon world is studded with puzzle-solving elements such as hidden passages and gimmicks, and serves as a barrier to the goal of collecting the bones of "Demon King Maxim" - "Demon King" and resurrecting him. Depending on the situation of the main characters Kirika and Masha and the sub-weapons they possess, try different routes and strategies to achieve your goals! Furthermore, by searching for and reviving the demon king's vassals who have become souls and scattered throughout the demon world, you can expand and add support functions to the demon king's castle, which is your base. Fully voiced conversations with the unique vassal demons will decorate the moments between plays. ■Demon action to switch sisters! The new playable characters are the older sister "Kirika" who is good at long-range attacks and the younger sister "Marsha" who is good at melee attacks, who are devil sisters and maids! The sub-weapons that can be used by consuming magic power also have different characteristics between the sisters, so switch the characters you control at the appropriate time to cover each other's weaknesses. Even if one of the sisters runs out of energy in the fight against the demons, it is possible to revive the fallen sister through "sister rescue" by reaching the fallen sister. In addition, this game supports simultaneous play by two players in a local environment and simultaneous play by two players in online co-op, so you can enjoy exploration action with sisters from all over the world! *Two-player simultaneous play in online co-op will be supported in an update. ■Full collection elements! Consumable items, sub-weapons, and even the passive expansion item "Magic Treasure" will randomly drop from treasure chests and enemy demons. By obtaining these items, you will be able to perform new actions unique to the sisters, and enjoy further strategies and new route exploration elements. In addition, customization is possible by combining sub-weapons, so items that are no longer needed will not go to waste. Collect, combine, and strengthen items until you're satisfied!
