New TOXIC CRUSADERS Gameplay Makes Us Giddy To Clean Up Tromaville!

Horror fans of a certain age will fondly recall the first-ever superhero from New Jersey, The Toxic Avenger! Toxie isn’t just a movie star, however, he’s also a TV celebrity who had his own cartoon show in the early 90s called Toxic Crusaders. That same generation of fans will also likely have a similar reaction to the coin-op Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games that would swallow sleeves of quarters whole while ramping up the difficulty. What happens when you combine these two things? Probably one of the best things to happen to gaming since someone thought of the genius idea of blowing into NES cartridges.

The Toxic Crusaders game seeks to bring fans old and new together in co-op mayhem as they take down the evil forces polluting Tromaville. The game is set to release this fall and can be wishlisted on Steam as we type. Check out the gameplay trailer below, and we hope to have more about this toxic beat 'em up later this year!

Synopsis: Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs, and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four players on your side, the Smogulan Empire's days are numbered!

Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger - plus, for the first time, play as Toxie's musically "gifted" girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie's mom!
