    I just bought it this morning and played about 10 minutes of it, it's a lot of fun, but I would still have bought the game just for it's art style..

    Anyone else bought/buying it?

    I have Castle Crashers. It's a great game; but it has a heaping ton of online issues.

    I hear it's pretty good.  I'm going to play the demo first though.

     i bought the game and i like it it reminds me of all those good go right brawlers, and to top it off i love the animation art that they did it amazes me that its all hand drawn, i havent tried online yet but i heard that they are having issues so i will wait for a patch i guess. im sure the co-op is awesome when they fix it. 
     its 15 dollars but i think its worth the 15 dollars so you make the call

    It's not doing anything like that, but co-op games have a tendency to lag out and just completely stop in the middle of a level. It gets very annoying.

    I haven't had any problems when playing with friends, but trying to find a quick match is a bitch.

    I already did with hearing virtually nothing about it and without playing the demo. Yes, I am crazy.

    Me three.  I love it.  It takes all the things that are good in a beatem-up, and adds that crazy yet funny art style that Behemoth does so well.  Its crazy that like 6 guys made this game. (all be it with support)

    Ok, I've only sunk about 2 hours into the game plus a few online matches (where there are already people lvl 26).

    I feel that the game doesn't hold your hand enough at the start, I just picked a random character, not knowing I wouldn't be able to change, it doesn't even say their abilitys! Oh well, the game is a blast, and still hilarious. Definetly worth $15, definetly more worth it then Braid.

    After playing the demo...I think I may actually pick it up. I love the look and the nostalgic feeling it gives me is fantastic!

    I wouldn't mind it but not paying out for another points card just yet. Already spent a heap on Braid. ;)

    This game is fun for reasons too primal to name. Honestly, it's the first "go right brawler" (thanks to killawogg for the genre name) I've heartily enjoyed. The massive number of unlocks, the sense of humor, and the addicting leveling system makes its fun-factor hold out for incredibly long - And I haven't even played a 4-player match (only got in a 2-player match) or even touched online!

    I saw the review in Gametrailers, and it looked fun! It reminded me off Metal Slug 3

    I'd love to but the price point coupled with all of the online troubles it seems to be having is making me hold on to the trial until atleast the technical problems are addressed.

    I bought it yesterday... best $15 I've ever spent. Hopefully I can get some 4 player co-op action later on if they improve the online capabilities =D
