Relive Old School Arcade Thrills With New Gameplay Trailer for ‘Toxic Crusaders’ [Watch]

Despite the delay, Retroware’s upcoming Toxic Crusaders is looking really good. So much so, that the developer has released a new gameplay trailer demonstrating nearly a minute and a half of mutant mayhem ahead of its Q3 2025 release.

The new trailer gives fans an up close and personal look at brawler’s arcade-style melees, its cast of playable pugilists, and new gameplay features, such as the game’s Tag Out System, which allows you to seamlessly swap between two Crusaders to pile on the punishment.

The Toxic Crusaders are back to defend Tromaville against the evil Dr. Killemoff and his army of Radiation Rangers. With local co-op, you can grab up to four friends and take on the forces of Smogula across a variety of vibrant pixel-art levels, including environments inspired from Troma films, such as Class of Nuke ‘Em High and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

You can play as all the members of the original Toxic Crusaders gang, including Toxie, Nozone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger, along with Toxie’s girlfriend, Yvonne, and even Toxie’s mom, Mrs. Junko. You’ll face off against all-new bosses, and not just the expected Dr. Killemoff and other characters from the original Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Expect appearances from those hailing from other Troma films.

Toxic Crusaders will arrive on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch. You can check out the demo on Steam right now.
