Description

Tak and the Guardians of Gross follows the shaman’s apprentice as he visits the Spoiled Shrine and accidentally removes a strange crystal that explodes and releases the four giant Grosstrosities. Using all new “parkour” style of gameplay, players will be running on walls, sliding down poles, and swinging on vines to navigate action-packed levels.

As the holder of the power of Juju magic, Tak embarks on a journey to visit the Spoiled Shrine when he discovers “stray juju magic” coming out of a mysterious crystal. Tak picks up the crystal, only to have it explode into one hundred fragments. Four Giant Grosstrosities then emerge: the noxious Stink Giant, the molten Cheese Giant, the drippy Slime Giant and the lumpy Landfill Giant. It is now up to Tak to reconstruct the shattered crystal in order to trap the Grosstrosities.
