About this game
Toxic Crusaders is an action-packed beat 'em up where players take control of one of seven playable characters. Stop the plans of the evil Czar Zosta and Dr. Killemoff by taking on hordes of Radiation Rangers, troublesome thugs, and zombie chickens across eleven disgustingly beautiful levels rendered in full-color pixel-art graphics!
THE GANG'S ALL HERE
Up to four players can play together in local co-op! Choose from seven playable characters, including the beloved Toxie, acrobatic Nozone, speedy Junkyard, mighty Major Disaster, gnarly Headbanger, and, for the first time ever, the bubbly Yvonne and the indomitable Mrs. Junko!
HIDDEN GEMS IN THE JUNKYARD
Keep an eye out for references, easter eggs, and cameos from fan-favorite characters across the Tromaverse! Whether you're a die-hard Troma fan or a newcomer, you'll be given a fresh dose of off-beat humor and unexpected antics!
WELCOME BACK TO TROMAVILLE
Serving as the spiritual successor to the original Toxic Crusaders cartoon from the '90s, the game's story comes alive with over 20 minutes of colorful, hand-drawn motion comics! Follow the Crusaders as they seek to end the pollution-plotting schemes of Czar Zosta and his top minion, Dr. Killemoff. With the fate of Earth -- and a clean environment! -- hanging in the balance, you'll be able to watch the game's story evolve between Episodes!
