    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    Castle Crashers is a 2D fantasy belt-scrolling brawler developed and digitally published by The Behemoth for the Xbox 360 on August 27, 2008.

    Inspired by retro co-operative beat-em-ups of the '90s, the game features an adventure mode for up to four players (either locally, online, or a mixture of both), numerous playable characters and weapons, and light action-RPG elements (allowing players to gain experience and upgrade character stats and abilities). Because of The Behemoth's relation to the Newgrounds community, almost all of the game's soundtrack is created by the community members (and is available to download for free). The game not only has references to Behemoth's earlier game Alien Hominid, but also Newgrounds itself and some of the other internet memes of the time.

    Along with numerous DLC (including new characters and weapons), the game was later ported to the PlayStation 3 on August 31, 2010, and to both the PC and Mac (via Steam) on September 26, 2012.

    It later received an enhanced port (as Castle Crashers Remastered) for the Xbox One on September 8, 2015, featuring higher-quality textures, improved performance, and bonus content. It was later ported to both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2019. Most changes to this version were also made available in the Steam version as a free update on October 14, 2015.

    Gameplay

    No Caption Provided

    Castle Crashers plays like a traditional arcade side-scrolling beat-em-up. Each player has a Light Attack button (X on the 360), a Heavy Attack button (Y on the 360), a Jump button (A on the 360), an Item button (B on the 360), a Block button (LT on the 360), a Magic button (RT on the 360), and two Item Select buttons (LB and RB on the 360). The Magic button does not perform any abilities right away, and must be held while pressing another button to perform magic attacks and abilities.

    Players earn experience for their characters by causing damage to enemies. (Instead of most beat-em-ups with experience where players can only earn experience by actually defeating enemies) Multiple players can simultaneously earn experience by striking the same enemy. Each time a character levels up (up to level 99), they are granted attribute points (one point, with a bonus point at levels less than 21) that can be added to one of the four character attributes:

    • Strength - Increases the damage of physical attacks. Certain levels grant the use of special combos.
    • Magic - Increases the damage of magical attacks and decreases the time required to recharge the magic bar. Certain levels grant the use of special magical attacks.
    • Defense - Increases health and decreases the amount of damage the player can take.
    • Agility - Increases running speed and damage/speed with the bow.

    Story Mode

    Story Mode is the default mode in the game and can be played with up to four players at a time. Players must travel from stage to stage, defeating bosses and gaining special items, in order to rescue the four princesses and reclaim the magic crystal from the Evil Wizard. There are 36 main levels (that can be later revisited in the Overworld map) split into eight sections. There are also arena stages, where players are pit in a battle royale against waves of enemies of varying types (unlocking new characters when each stage is completed). There are also stores, allowing players to buy healing potions, sandwiches, weapons, and various other items to aid them during gameplay. The Blacksmith is a special location on the Overworld map that allows players to switch between different found weapons and animal orbs.

    Insane Mode

    By beating Story Mode once with any character, a new path should be open in the Overworld, where taking the path will start the game over in Insane Mode. (Exiting Insane Mode uses the same path, though players must defeat the first boss of the game to be able to return to Normal mode) Insane Mode is extremely difficult, and can even leave a single maxed-out character begging for mercy. A group of four maxed-out players is advised for beating this mode. Completing Insane Mode rewards players with a golden skull that shows up in the character selection screen and a special trophy for the PS3 version. All versions other than the Xbox 360 version also include a special store for Insane Mode.

    Arena Mode

    Up to four players (online and offline) pick their best character and compete in a battle royale to the death. If a single player competes locally, they will just face waves of A.I. opponents. Characters are re-balanced to level 99 so everyone is on the same playing field. Players can be split into multiple teams. There are five arenas (using the same stages as the Story Mode arenas) and four different game modes:

    • Melee - Standard match.
    • Quickdraw - Every attack button is mapped to the Bow & Arrows.
    • Treasure - Every attack button is mapped to the Shovel. The only way to do damage is by either doing the digging animation near other players, or collecting treasure (which must be dug up).
    • Beefy - Players are stripped of their weapons. Chickens (representing the Behemoth mascot) are scattered around the level and moving constantly. Players must grab these chickens in order to beef-up (like the Sandwich item) and beat up their opponents.

    Minigames

    All You Can Quaff

    Available in the Xbox 360 and early Steam versions, "All You Can Quaff" is a simple button masher mini-game for up to four players (online, offline, and A.I.). Players alternate between the Light Attack and Heavy Attack buttons to eat various pieces of fruit. When they finish that piece of fruit, they have to hit the Jump button in order to call the next piece of fruit. The winner is declared when they eat their final piece of fruit, which is depicted by a flag slowly raising next to them. In rare instances, it's possible for multiple players to finish at the same time (in which there are multiple winners).

    Volleyball Mode

    Available in the PS3 version, Volleyball mode pits up to eight players (up to 4 players online and offline, the rest can be A.I.) in a volleyball match. Players can use magic attacks to place effects on the ball.

    Back Off Barbarian

    Available in the Remastered and later Steam versions, Back Off Barbarian is a co-operative minigame where four players move around a tile-based board (using either the face buttons for colors or the joystick/dpad for arrows), where each direction doesn't necessary correspond to the direction of the face buttons or joystick/dpad), and avoid A.I. enemies.

    Playable Characters

    The game features 31 playable characters. However, only four are available from the start (six in the Xbox One version). The rest needs to be unlocked by either completing various in-game tasks or downloading DLC packs. Each character has unique magic blasts, jumps, and projectiles. (Though most of the magic blasts for non-elemental characters is the same volley of arrows)

    Weapons

    Throughout Castle Crashers, players will often find new weapons that can be equipped. Players can only carry a single weapon that is either equal in level or less (with the exception of the character's starting weapons), picking up new weapons will cause players to drop their previous weapon and will unlock that weapon in the Blacksmith's Weapon Frog, where it can later be used. Each weapon has attributes that can increase/decrease various attributes. Some weapons can perform elemental side-effects and some weapons have a chance of performing a critical hit attack.
