You can play it alone but its not much fun. I would recommend at least one other player but four is a lot of fun. The gameplay gets repetitive fast, the fun is found in charging through the levels with friends, maximizing power ups, and fighting to get the best animal companions. I had a blast dueling friends for the princess kiss and fighting through insanity.
Having played through most of the game solo myself, I'd say that it's worth playing, but probably not worth trying to beat on your own. The game really feels like it was balanced for 3-4 players, though it isn't too much of an issue until some of the later levels. Not that the game becomes particularly demanding, but enemies just take a lot longer to kill since they're built to stand up against 4 players' attacks.
If you're looking for a game to play with friends, drop a few extra bucks on Magicka. I played through Castle Crashers and didn't have half as much fun as I did with the chaos that is Magicka.
