Toxic Crusaders News

Armed with a knife and a sadistic attitude, Leroy seeks to only cause pain to any Toxic Crusader standing before him!


When in range, Leroy will charge forward with his knife, sending any Toxic Crusader in front of him FLYING! He’s all about the stabby stab.


For anyone daring enough to challenge Leroy, you can try to attack him to interrupt his charging animation, which would make for a good follow-up with a smackin’ combo of your own!

“Yeah! That’ll learn ‘em!”

As one of Tromaville’s meanest thugs, Rico won’t hold back with his attacks! Armed with a deadly set of nunchaku, he’ll twirl them as he moves around.

First seen bursting out of a barber shop with his slick hairstyle, the first Rico enemy enters the scene to join the commotion!


When attacking, Rico will do a wind up before spinning his nunchaku in front of him–sending any unfortunate Toxic Crusader flying! You can either attack Ricos from the back, or interrupt them when they’re in their attack animation.

NOTE: All screenshots in this post feature in-game levels that are still in development. Their final designs may differ from what is shown.

As the Toxic Crusaders endeavor to clean the streets of Tromaville from all that is evil and foul, they’ll have to clean up the Health Club, too! You’ll find even the thugs of Tromaville working out (or at least appearing to) at the Health Club–all of them sporting new outfits! Take a look at their level-specific designs in-game!


You’ll find Ricos spinning nunchucks, while donning light exercise clothes, and Leroys (still armed with their knives) wearing purple and blue pants and sweaters! Both enemies will be wearing headbands, and both will still wanna knock out any Toxic Crusaders dumb enough to disturb their time in the gym!


You’ll also find Franks showing off their muscles through their vertically striped tank tops and shorts! And for B.G. Whips, they’ll have traded their, well, whips for jump ropes–still very much lethal, though!


You can look forward to working up a sweat dishing out the pain against these enemies at the Tromaville Health Club!

Stay tuned for even more behind-the-scenes updates!

Among Dr. Killemoff’s Radiation Rangers, the Buff Ranger is undoubtedly a TOUGH unit! Sporting arms more muscular than their common counterparts, Buff Rangers use their taller, well-built bodies to crash into their foes! You’ll wanna steer clear of these charging goons–else you’ll be flung off your feet!


As another unit in the Radiation Ranger army exclusively found in the game, the Buff Ranger is a really tough foe to throw hands with! But, if you time your attacks right, one way to counter this new unit would be to attack them as they charge at you! Be warned though, since, once they get up, they’ll charge at any reckless or unsuspecting Toxic Crusader and flatten them!


You can look forward to facing off against the Buff Rangers, and stay tuned for even more as we continue on with development!

Crashing their way onto the scene from our MAGFest 2024 demo is Headbanger–an accidental creation formed by combining both Dr. Bender and delivery boy Fender into one person! Merging both brains and brawn, Headbanger is ready to join the battle against the extraterrestrial Smogulans!

[h3]Concept Art[/h3]
From artist Steve Gregson, here’s a bit of concept on how Headbanger would look like in the game!


Similar to the original action figure, Fender’s side retains his blue shirt and armband. His necklace color is now purple, and his red sandal has been changed to a flip flop. Also, the design on his shorts was changed to be mostly yellow with green palm tree tops, compared to the figure’s largely inverse design.

As for Dr. Bender’s side, he still retains his white lab shirt, but his in-game design ditches those orange glasses and bowtie on his figure. Also, much of his side has color-swapped parts, such as the pens being individually colored instead of just orange, his pants are now purple and his belt is black, and his lab glove is yellow instead of white! Lastly, his shoe has also changed to have a greenish hue instead of being orange!


[h3]Punch, Smack, & Headbutt![/h3]
Headbanger’s normal combo involves a mix of a punch by Fender’s side, a smack by Dr. Bender’s side, and a headbutt by Fender!


[h3]Dr. Bender’s Latest Creation![/h3]
For their special attack, Dr. Bender unleashes his latest chemical experiment–a special kind of toxic Magoop designed to affect anyone seen as an enemy! Holding a flask of Magoop in his hand, Dr. Bender crashes it onto the ground to cause a chemical explosion that damages all enemies around himself and Fender!


[h3]In-Game Design[/h3]
With their distinctive look, Fender and Dr. Bender take on the Radiation Rangers of Dr. Killemoff with a design strikingly similar to their cartoon selves! No one can mistake this two-headed friendly freakizoid!


[h3]Radical Moves + Surf’s Up![/h3]
Fender shows off his mad skateboarding skills for his Dash Attack and his wicked surfing moves for his Jump Attack! You can spin his skateboard to launch enemies into the air, followed by using the surfboard to drop onto enemies!


Stay tuned for even more updates as we continue on with development!
