Castle Crashers is up on XBLA !!!

[E Nice]

I have a hard time believing that any old school gamer would have a hard time enjoying this one. And if you do, play it online or with a friend. That should change your mind.

That it would, assuming you can get the lobby screen to appear. Or having it glitch up and bringing you back to the main menu. Repeat the log-in screen and try to get a lobby screen again only to have it freeze up and no buttons work, with the only way out via exiting to the dashboard. Worse would be when it glitches in the online menu and just freezes the 360. Then if you can connect to a host room. Then if you don't get dc'ed once everyone readies up and the game loads up. Or after it loads and you choose a character and it moves on to the map screen. Or simply getting dc'ed some odd minutes after joining and playing through a level.

Yeah, and might wanna becareful with the Alien Hominid character and the pitchfork, unless you want to rid of his gun forever or like restting stats you've built up with him.

Bought it tongith and played it with my cousins until we beat it. It's a brilliant game. A labor of love by people who LOVE old school games. Take a little Golden Axe, Streets Of Rage, Gauntlet, Guardian Heroes, Battletoads, and Three Dirty Dwarfs... mix them up and you get CASTLE CRASHERS.

It was a complete joy to play. Inspired levels and creative bosses around ever corner. I love the RPGS elements and animal familiars are the icing on the cake. You cannot call yourself a gamer and not own this game!

Lots of fun and humor galore.

Too bad online play is borked, but they said in their blog that they are working on it. I'll play it again when they fix it.

Downloaded the demo and played it a few times. I like how you can keep going through the same area and leveling up that way. When I get a reliable connection and some $ im going to dl the full version.

As much as i want to play this, i'm not buying it until they fix it. I don't care who you are, i don't buy broken products.

Wise fwom yo gwave. Yes I am quite late to the party on this one, but after reading up on this game's history of online issues, maybe it's a good thing I never took it online until last Wednesday. I didn't run into any issues at all, though I did read about a level 256 glitch that's causing The Behemoth to crank out another patch pretty soon.

Blah blah blah anyway I wasn't thrilled with this game until I tried multiplayer online. Now I love it. Anyone still playing this game send me a message on XBL. I have a Hominid to level up. Hell, I have everyone but the Orange Knight to level up.

I don't even know how long i'd have to play to get a character to 256... I think i've beaten the game with my green knight, but I was working through it with the Alien as well.

I just picked up Castle Crashers and realized it has two expansions, Necromantic Pack and King Pack. Are these worth getting? How much content do they add?

[Daria]

They add a two characters, like three weapons, and an animal each.

Merging into the existing Castle Crashers thread, as this isn't covered in the standard thread and would fit perfectly in here.

That's all? No extra levels or anything? Seems kinda lame. At least I know not to waste any points now, thanks.

Totally worth it, the characters are awesome.

But yeah I unlocked everything in this game because it's amazing.
