Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark / PS5 / Playstation 5 review!

Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark for PlayStation 5 is a 2D action-platformer that blends retro gameplay, modern mechanics, and a gothic anime aesthetic. Developed by Inti Creates (creators of Azure Striker Gunvolt and Blaster Master Zero), this game tells the story of two sisters who awaken to find their school transformed into a demonic stronghold.

Play as Shinobu and Maya Kamizono, each with distinct fighting styles—Shinobu excels in ranged combat while Maya focuses on close-range and crafting-based attacks. You can switch between sisters at any time, or team up in local 2-player co-op. With richly detailed pixel art, branching paths, intense boss fights, and multiple endings, Gal Guardians is a love letter to classic action games with a modern flair.

Key Features:

• Swap between two unique protagonists, or play co-op

• Deep level design with hidden areas and alternate routes

• Engaging pixel art visuals and gothic environments

• Unlock new abilities and upgrades as you progress

• Rich narrative with anime-style cutscenes and voice acting
