DESCRIPTION
A stylish take on classic side-scrolling beat 'em ups, Castle Crashers lets up to four players hack and slash their way through a number of enemy-filled kingdoms on a quest to collect gold, find treasure, and rescue princesses. Castle Crashers features the same sort of graphics employed in developer The Behemoth's previous game, Alien Hominid, and the combat resembles that of classic brawlers such as Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and Double Dragon, but the game also makes use of RPG-style elements that let players improve their character's skills in strength, magic, defense, and agility. There are more than 20 characters from which to choose, and each character can unlock up to 40 unique weapons. In addition, gamers can select animal orb sidekicks that offer characters special attribute boosts, and there are stores located throughout the game where players can buy and sell weapons, or purchase new characters and items. And if gamers get tired of teamwork, they have four unique ways to fight amongst each other in the Arena mode. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“ Out of all the side scrollers ive played, wich is not many. I like to play castle crashers, i dont play it as much as most other games but every now and then ill sit down with my younger brother, or my older brother (Phynixblack) and play the game through, it is a fun time waster. The only issue is the lag you get. and thats fixable, i noticed if you use the same pet you lag if you dont you dont lag as much.”

“The game is pretty fun and has great humor and it will actually hurt your thumbs. You level up your characters like an Action-RPG and make sure to kiss all the Princesses. Castle Crashers is impressive for an arcade game!”

“Honestly, one of the best beat'em'up's I've played in a long time. The difficulty is just right, the character development and sheer amount of stuff to unlock/collect is just awesome, and it's great to be able to do it all in local, too. Ed and I tend to play a lot of this kind of stuff together, so it's great to see a simple XBLA game take the place of a $40 or $50 game. I will continue to replay this one for a long time to come. Long Live The Behemoth!”

“This is a cute little side-scrolling hack n slash that is just awesome. It was a lot longer than I had expected and was very fun while it lasted and then some. It is loaded with unlockables and buried treasures to obtain. It has some toilet humor and is a tad bit on the childish side other than being able to beat your enemies into a bloody pulp. The are style works very well and its just fun to look at. This game is even better when playing with friends or online.”
