#ToxicCrusaders
Note: you can't actually swap characters on-the-fly, I just edited the video that way so I could showcase the different characters in single-player mode.
That's clever! I was confused at first, but understood the assignment. Bah ha ha!
That's some smooth editing
@@AlphaBetaGamer I thought Major Disaster and Toxie were the same character at first. I thought Toxie just dropped his disguise. I was confused why Major had "Toxie's" vine trap attack later on.
Oh wow ok 😂
Dr.killemoff!
The fact that a hard R rated movie that contained blood, gore, strong language and full frontal nudity was turned into a kids show was a delightful trend of the time. God I miss those days.
Yeah, it happened a lot back then too! I'm sure there were Rambo and RoboCop cartoons too!
@@AlphaBetaGamer Don't forget terminator!
@@AlphaBetaGamerThere 100% was a robocop cartoon.
@@AlphaBetaGamer Attack of the Killer Tomatoes comes to mind. The cartoon is based on the second movie that had a pair of big talents. I made the mistake of checking the movie out for my younger sister who liked the cartoon. Whoops!
@@AlphaBetaGamer Conan and Beetlejuice are also in this category.
Lloyd Kaufman: "Lookin' good, boys, but can you make the bad guys explode in viscera?"
Devs: "Sorry, Lloyd. It's a kid-friendly game."
LK: "Can you at least put a dominatrix in it?"
D: "Yeah, we can do that."
I was going to say this game needs more heads (and other body parts) ripped off.
Anything for uncle Lloyd
I mean, a kid-friendly game about toxic waste… and ppl using them… let that sink in
I hope Lloyd got a few bucks outta this
Wouldnt be simulated retro beat em up if didnt have one
That music and voice acting is top notch in quality. Also Yvonne's carrying animation is adorable.
I like how it's a buncha monster guys and then there's Yvonne.
Oh shit! I looked to the right where the recommended list is and it's a legit show! :O
Yup. But it started off as a film series.
Yvonne kissed toxie and gained radioactive vocal cords that made her singing voice into a sonic scream
Here something just as crazy. One of Michael Jai White first roles was a bad guy in one of these movies.
@@derrickmillerthebarbarickiller The reasons why I should watch the movies are piling up fast...
You gotta have the token normal-ish human for the audience to relate to.
Toxic Crusaders X Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge
Yeah, and a Gi, Joe one is coming out soon as well.
@@-RAYZ- And a Power Rangers one. Though at least G.I. Joe and Power Rangers are time honored brands. The Toxic Crusaders only lasted one thirteen episode season and died. It’s only known by people between 30-40 years old or anyone who knows this was based off of Troma’s R rated mascot. That’s why it’s so weird for it to be amongst this trend of Shredder’s Revenge likes.
@@Falcovsleon21 There actually was a NES video game release for Toxic Crusaders back in the early 90s. It was produced by Bandai in the same vein as Konami's works with the TMNT. Of course, that doesn't mean it was any good.
@@Falcovsleon21 I had 0 interest in this game because it's Toxic Crusaders but the gameplay sure won me over, because the game looks as good as Shredder's Revenge. The Gi Joe game is a missed opportunity and should've been a Sunset Riders style run & gun or a gallery shooter like the G.I. Joe arcade game.
now theres a crossover that would be seriously interesting
I'm still having trouble accepting that this game is something happening so long after the cartoon and movies. Though I'm not opposed. I loved Toxic crusaders as a kid in the early 90s
A lot of shows could use the retro beat em up treatment. Fans would buy them up, introduce the franchises their friends. Keep it rolling.
Oh wow, you must be a canadian, this show did not have alot of places to air since troma productions got limited heavily by hollywood
@@AgentofLADONgiven we’re already either getting or already have a number of beat em ups based on classic cartoons, I hope the trend keeps going. I think we’re also getting GI Joe later. Makes me hope we get He-Man and Transformers down the line
Yeah I’m still dumbfounded we got this when Bucky O’Hare, Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs were more likely candidates. ::sad that he never got that Street Sharks Final Fight clone::
@@austinmorrison6953I think not every IP should be a beatem up .
Maybe plattformer action-games would be awesome too .
I meam Tmnt had an metroidvania on the gameboy and it was very underrated .
Maybe even more akin to ps1 amd dreamcast games would fitting too .
But its just my 2 cents.
Who knew a cartoon from 1991 that ran for a single season would get a game, yet here we are, and it is awesome. Go Toxie!
Probably helps that it’s based off of a violent B-movie franchise that’s a cult classic amongst horror buffs. And that the AVGN did an episode on the old games with Lloyd Kaufman himself.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: 🫱🏿🫲🏻
It got games for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy (AVGN covers them). There were films before the cartoon as well.
@@alkristopher I know, it is just such a funny concept to me that something known for comical levels of exploding heads and dismemberment got a Saturday morning cartoon, then around 33 years later that cartoon gets a videogame adaptation. Hah.
Now we need Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs as beat 'em ups like this one and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge.
DynoVengers
Street sharks ❤
What about Tyco’s “Dino-Riders”? Anyone remember that one? That would be a fantastic idea for a Beat’em-up!
Yes
I'm fully on board for all these 90's media revival in gaming.
"I'm surprised Toxie and Yvonne are still together."
Don't you say it...
"It's clearly a toxic relationship."
Just had to do it, huh? XD
Haha, I had to. Some jokes just write themselves! :)
Well, this was a breath of fresh air.
You don't see many light-hearted beat-em-ups anymore.
Also, I don't know much about the tv show but I feel like it could legitimately make a comeback in today's age.
“You don’t see many light-hearted best-em ups anymore.”
. . . What are you talking about? There’s been a whole resurggence of beat em ups coming in with titles like Streets of Rage 4, Battletoads, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Double Dragon, etc.
Like this and that GI Joe game is just continuing that trend
@@BigK13372 Light-hearted as in Cartoonishly-light much like the TMNT Shredder's Revenge. S0R4 has the villains blowing up a moving train, destroying the surrounding street, while DD Gaiden takes place after a nuclear war with humanity barely averting an apocalypse.
Admittedly, I was thinking about games like Mother Russia Bleeds and Fight N' Rage. They are comedic games, FNR even has a TMNT reference, but there way more graphic and crude with their humor.
Now there is a “Karate Kid” one too coming out this September. It looks a lot like this. Long live retro IP Beat’em ups lol! Street Sharks anyone? ;)
Only if they make it like the Harley Quinn show. I mean that was basically a Troma movie with DC characters. (James Gunn even cameo'd in it!) If you're gonna bring back the Toxic Crusaders you might as well aim for an older audience and let them be more Troma-like at this point. (Especially when most of us who remember this property are at least in our 30s at the bare minimum)
If they don't add in Sgt. Kabukiman as a playable character I'm gonna riot.
I mean they have to. He’s has to be this game’s answer to Usagi from the Shredder’s Revenge game
I'll buy it if Kabukiman is in it.
@@BigK13372 Exactly
Agreed. Sgt. Kabukiman or go to hell!
I love how the enemies are just TMNT
Now we just need a cajun hippo man and and techbeat gorrila man that sounds like Funky Kong to be the bumbling idiots to our 'Shredder' and we're solid
@@newbaggett Technically he already has those: The fat guy with cyborg parts and the skeletal guy on the promotional art.
I'm only familiar with the movies but I'm so glad to see this back
A Troma game would be so messed up that none of us could say where the line was crossed.
Perhaps the level based on 'Beware Children at Play' ?
The cartoon is worth watching, not many episodes and the theme tune is written by the guy who did the TMNT theme.
Man, i remember the Toxic Avenger movies and cartoon, so is actually amazing seeing it back again after all this time.
Wait then the original creator also have Nintendo games for the Toxic Avenger.
It's really amazing that every game the dev adds female dominatrix in their games.
Kind of a staple for many beat em ups since Double Dragon.
If they are a female mook, they are by default a dominatrix
Yeah, Poison from Final Fight arcade was a Transsexual character. You'd only know it if you read the sides of the arcades at the time. Some arcades had the info. 1989. Before they shoved it down your throat.
It's just how it's done, lol.
fun fact:
Psychostick made the music for this game.
Wow they still around? Damn, their songs are legendary
@@kernsanders3973 yups!, still PLUH-ing and making sandwiches around.
I absolutely love the Looney Tune sound effects in this game, it's so hilarious and adds to the cheese of this game. Definitely looking out for this game now.
12:25 you can see there’s Sonic’s shoes and looks like Knuckles’ quills peaking out from the ground. And the Technodrone eye from TMNT is here too. Oddly enough, the music does sound SEGA Genesis sound chip as well. The game just screams 90s and must be referencing possibly the game that was released back then too.
Toxic Avenger, a movie so brutal it deserved a kids' TV show and video game 😂
I had some of these characters' action figures when I was a kid 😂. 30+ years later, the show is mostly forgettable, but I do remember one bit: No-Zone gets a job painting lines in the road with his wheel foot, but he gets distracted day dreaming about his crush or something, and starts painting hearts instead. Then, Toxie drives like a maniac, trying to follow the contours of the hearts in order to obey traffic rules.
Ok this is what I was hoping for. They got a lot of the characters' voices down. They got everyones personalities down. And all the silliness. And I think I heard a fourth wall break. I so want to play this. It looks so fun. And I imagine I will be laughing here & there
Voice of Rodger Bumpass As Toxie
I don't think that's him in this game though.
4:04 [mook pops out of the Employment Agency] "Alright! My first day on the job!"
*immediately gets mop-slapped by a walking pile of green toxic waste*
Hate when that happens
I loved the toxic crusaders growing up in the 90's. I found I still have some of their original action figures
Wish this game existed in the early 90s! I am so glad they are bring toxic back! Loved the live action movies!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Once you go green, you'll always be Keen!
missed opportunity to have yvonne not beat the crap out frank for his "Ben-Dover" shenanigans from the toxic avenger movie.
i mean how cool is it to have those r-rated psychopaths as cartoons in this lol
they def gotta have cigar-face and apocalypse inc in this
The Steam page for the game mentions other Troma references and even makes mention of zombie chickens so that's Poultrygeist confirmed. Really just give me a boss fight with Tromie from the Nuke'm High movies and I'm pacified.
It certainly captures the essence of those obscure Konami arcade games inspired by Saturday morning cartoons such as Bucky O'Hare and Moo Mesa.
I love Yvonne's attack when she sings its funny and good to watch
I think a certain notable angry gaming nerd would be very happy to play this...😉🎮
I remember watching the cartoon when I was kid. Though it's apparently not popular with other toons broadcasted on my local TV channels.
Earthworm Jim meets Streets of Rage
The game is looking ALOT better since we last saw it a year ago. This went from a maybe to a must buy. The work you out in shows. Also, you editing skills are too good; makes me wish for character swapping on the fly. Maybe as a post launch patch? Either way, im getting this.
Thanks! Yeah, I really wish all beat 'em ups would allow character swapping on-the-fly. It would make for a much better gameplay experience in pretty much every case. It would add a nice amount of variety and you could use them strategically.
Anyone else hoping to see He-Man get a brand new beat em up?
There's a very cool fan made one I covered a few years ago I'd recommend checking out if you can't wait for an official one! czcams.com/video/pIq0guSYAew/video.html
Didn't even know this was based on an actual short-lived cartoon: this is awesome!
I'd forgotten this was a thing! Sooo much nostalgia
I can't wait for the full release, the charm and the wit from the cartoon is what drew me to the franchise. Toxie and the gang look great and the demo looks like playing an episode from said cartoon!
I still have my copy of the Genesis/Mega Drive game.
I gotta be honest, I remember Toxic Avenger more than I remember Toxic Crusaders. But It looks good so I'll probably check it out
Honestly. I never really watched this as a kid too often. I didnt really like the show that much then. Still dont really like it too much now. But this. This is well done. Looks like fun and just feels the right amount of old school. I love the cartoony look and sound effects. The music is bouncy and feels good to brawl to. The visuals are great. Everything pops. The dialogue is pretty good too. THe little banter here and there kinda gives you an idea what the personalities are like. Got to give it to Toxie's Mop. That thing kicks!
As someone who was a troma fan + arcade player as a kid this is very cool. I'd love to see a version with the filthy look of the originals but this is good.
oh my god the game is so beautiful! even the music is upbeat! i really missed those beat 'em up game genre of the arcades!
i'm definitely keeping my eyes on this game and buy it the moment it fully comes out.
Oh yes! *IT'S CLEAN UP TIME!*
dr killmoff really sound like Curtis Arnott aka Alucard from hellsing abridged
Spoiler alert it is him. That and the team who is doing the voice acting direction is indeed the Team Four Star crew. That means Lanipator and Takahara101 are also working on this. I know this because it was mention on the games Twitter. ;)

It might have been, they had Team Four Star do VA work since the original cast had voice actor royalty (The guy who plays Squidward was both Toxie and Killemoff!)
@@Father_Wendigo It also doesn't help that Ed Gilbert, the original Major Disaster, is well......dead.
Oh yeah. Wasn’t that the show where a plot was thwarted by ketchup?
The condiment I mean. I’m not joking (but where I heard it from might have been).
I'd want this to crossover with TMNT, Street Sharks, Battletoads, Double Dragon and Biker Mice from Mars. ^^
0:45 wow, Thanos didn't waste time and got busy making identical kids
2:34 They need to lower the Bloom intensity on the Toxic Waste. Other than that, It's a Dope looking game!
I'm glad that this show is getting more love and attention that it deserves, one season animated series and shows deserve more love like this.
I appreciate all the cartoon sound effects they're using.
I was too young to go see "Toxic Avenger" in theater. The franchise has come a long way since the 80s.
Well , they must create street sharks as well
Ive been wanting to play this game for so long
This brings back fond childhood memories of the cartoon.
okay, so from what I see in the gameplay, Major Disaster is a mighty glacier, Toxie is a jack of all stats, Junkyard is a Lightning bruiser and Yvonne is a fragile speedster
Buying it for Yvonne, Nozone and Junkyard. :D
That massive delay whenever a character throws an object is crazy
We must thank Shredder's Revenge for inspiring this new trend of beat'em up. If we get the Simpsons again one day, I'll be so happy
They actually included toxies gf in this game,that's a neat little throw back
This is the reboot we never knew we wanted. But it's also the one we all deserved.
Top of my game pickup list! Thanks for showcasing!
My only gripe is the missed opportunity to have some of the street punk enemies be more of a "Class of Nukem High" reference instead of being so generic greasers and dominatrix cliche.
Dude! Those greasers are literally the guys Toxie killed in the first movie! Y’know the part at the taco joint where they stick the place up and shoot the blind girl’s dog?
@@Falcovsleon21 Okay, obviously it's been a while since I've seen the 1st one since it aired on G4TV years ago so I forgot that detail LOL. Still I'm thinking that mohawk wearing leader from Nukem High, but perhaps we'll see something in the full game since their a shared universe.
Lloyd never knows when to give up.
Toxic Avenger was such a hilariously stupid idea, it's funny to see that it's somehow endured for all these decades
Makes me wonder why a game like this was never made for the arcade? Toxic Crusaders beat em up for the arcade would have went really well back then!
Over saturated market
This gives me classic tmnt arcade vibes. Love it
I have been waiting for news on this for months now, it's nice to see that my excitement was justified.
I don't know anything about toxic crusaders, but I'm getting this as it looks fun
Quite a legend to see Toxic Crusaders come back! I have the genesis version and it was.... well.... um, anyway I hope this one will be much easier and better! :D
First off I see new characters so that's a boon already! I hope the Shoot-em-up levels like the Canal and such won't be removed as those were some of my favorites there.
Feels like the old TMNT arcade game, I love it.
Toxic Crusaders needs to be revived as a franchise. The ecowarrior themes and interest in the 80s-90s trends and brands would be very popular at th moment
@@KryyssTV Only if they make it an adult action comedy series this time around. (ex: think the Harley Quinn show) Most people who remember this property are in their 30s-40s.
Cool Frank, Rico, & Leroy are in here
Major Disaster: Hammer Fist Style and Thorn Vine Explosion
Toxie: Mop Version of Bojutsu
Junkyard: Slaps and Spin Combos
Yvonne: Kicks and Xylocord Whips.
Oh wow this is looking even better than I thought it would.
man toxic crusaders know how kick butt and clean up.
@12:32 Nice easter egg 🙂
The sonic shoes
I ❤️ the monster hero!
Great, how they got Squidwards voice actor to do toxy's voice again like he did in the original cartoon! I believe they got every voice actor from the old show to reprise their Toxic Crusaders rolls again!
@@flinten7485 Actually no they didn’t. I mean you can’t really get Major Disaster’s VA back for one and two the devs already said in the Steam blurb that Team Four Star (amongst others) are doing the voices.
I appreciate Claire/Sara/Yvonne being playable.
Got that old '90s Konami soundfont.
It looks nice.
The retro vibe...the gameplay...I'd get it, that's for sure
I appreciate the konami orchestra hit in the music.
Toxic crusades, TMNT, soon power rangers what next?? … Oh! Can it be Street Sharks??
Or Biker Mice From Mars!
12:21 Anyone else notice that the Technodrome makes a brief cameo? At least the eye scanner... Now how about an Exo-Squad beat-em-up? Mummies Alive? Ooh! How about a WildC.A.T.S. remake?
i hope the angry video game nerd is an unlockable character
Why is the production value better in a Toxic Crusaders beat-em-up better than the G.I. Joe beat-em-up? You can tell the people that made this actually cared about the end product.
Now we just need a Street Sharx game like this
i used to have the genesis version of this, always got love❤🔥
This looks amazing, but I wanna see some Headbanger gameplay, that guy/guys is crazy looking even next to this bunch :-)
What a nostalgia. I remember playing on sega.
Looks fun. I'm still waiting on the GI*JOE arcade game to come out! Such a tease.
Texhnodrome at 12:31
0:15 Troma was a film studio that made gory, sax-filled, shocking splatstick (splatstick means that vio lence and g ore are so over-the-top they're funny) B-horror movies. It is credited as one of the originators of the bizarro fiction literary genre.
Holy crap, these guys haven't had a game since the SNES! Here's hoping Shredder's Revenge started a trend...
Actually it was the Genesis. They were never on SNES.
00:16 the kid on the bike is Skippy from the original Toxic Avenger movie lmfao
Toxie, hell yea!
Hell yeah! Toxic is back! I remember first seeing The Toxic Avenger after watching thew cartoon and was like, ummmm...WTF??!!?? My parents bought me these toys so they obviously didn't know about that movie! lmao
I was more like "THIS GUY WORKS SO MUCH BETTER AS A RAUNCHY ADULT COMEDY!"
I hope this was an Easy Mode. The game looks great outside of the apparent difficulty. Nice voice acting too. Hopefully Lloyd does a guest voiceover somewhere.
Wow! This very unexpected! I played the original genesis game so many years ago!
Never in my life would I have seen a fan remake of this game! This is awesome!
This is not a fan remake
@@Necrowolf81 It isn't? Huh.
@@DanKane-vp2ff It's a new official game.
@@Carnivius_Prime Oooh! Even better! Very cool!
