■"Grim Guardians: Demon Purge" is a 2D side-scrolling action game in which two high school girls, working as "demon hunters," fight to restore their school, which has become a demon's castle.
Players use two characters with different abilities to reach the deepest part of the stage, where a boss demon awaits.
By defeating boss demons, players will acquire new weapons, which will allow them to explore new paths in the next stage.
The game also supports two-player simultaneous play, allowing for coordinated action by controlling both characters simultaneously.
With features such as a "Style System" that allows players to freely select the difficulty level and gameplay that changes with repeated playthroughs,
this game combines the intense action that Inti Creates has been known for with a different horror flavor.
■Story
The Kamizono family are a family whose work has been "demon hunters" for generations.
After finishing their work as demon hunters, Shinobu and Maya Kamizono return to school for the first time in a long while, only to find themselves standing frozen in front of the gates.
Their school, Sakurazaki Third High School, has been transformed into a demonic castle.
Why? Are the students safe? While the mysteries continue,
only the demon hunters, the Kamizono sisters, can solve this extraordinary situation.
"Where there are demons, there's a clan of demon hunters!"
"The Kamizono Sisters, Let's Go!"
■Key Point 1: Switch between sisters for exorcism action!
You control the older sister, Kamizono Shinobu, who specializes in long-range attacks, and the younger sister, Kamizono Maya, who excels in close-range attacks.
Each sister has their own unique demon-exorcism tools (sub-weapons), which can be unlocked by consuming WEAPON points.
Switch between the controllable characters at the appropriate time to cover each other's weaknesses.
If one of the sisters loses their strength in the battle against the demons, you can revive them by reaching their fallen sister and using the "Sister Rescue" technique.
Furthermore, the Demon Hunter's secret technique, the powerful "Demon-Destroying Bullet," which combines the powers of Shinobu and Maya, instantly destroys demons, giving you an advantage in the battle against demons.
This game also supports two-player simultaneous play, allowing you to control two characters at the same time and enjoy coordinated action.
■Point 2: Acquire sub-weapons from bosses and grow as you explore the map!
Each time you defeat a boss demon, you will acquire a new demon-exorcising tool (sub-weapon), which will enable new actions unique to each sister.
Use these sub-weapons in the next stage to enjoy further strategies and new route-finding elements.
By exploring, you will discover various "hidden elements" hidden in the Demon Castle, obtain items to strengthen the sisters, and rescue students who have been left behind somewhere as you strive to reach the top of the Demon Castle.
■Point 3: Full voice acting for both the action and story!
This game's story delves into the mysteries of "Why did the school become a demon's castle?" and "What happened to the students who attended?"
Every character, from the main characters to the female students awaiting rescue...to the demons themselves, is fully voiced by a stellar cast of voice actors.
