Castle Crashers®

Great game to play with friends. Brings back childhood nostalgia. A must buy

awesome cartoon Beat Em Up action with some RPG elements. Expect comedy humor through out the game.

This is a good game. I've been playing since the PS3, working on getting Lv. 99 again. My dad used to play this game.

genuinely the most nostalgic and fun game ive played ever. nothing like this game

absolutely love castle crashers, cant wait for the update that's coming. one of the best co-op beat 'em up experiences i can think of. even when i got it years ago it was cheap and worth every penny. the art style is an excellent time capsule of early internet newgrounds flair and is extremely nostalgic for me.

A long running favorite of mine that I've returned to many times on varying plat forms since its original release around 2008. The face-lift the game has received as part of the remaster is rather good.

i love this game as a person who played a vast amount of games this was the best of 2025. not for everyone but its nice to pass time

9/10! So glad that the devs are still supporting this game, although i feel like instead of making each character have an individual save, that they should just make save files that way you can switch characters at any point to keep the progress.

great party game but laggy and stutters online

Great game, played it 14 years ago on Xbox 360 and i still play it today on steam. Eating contest is gone which is really sad, but everything else is fine. Great Humor !

A very drawn out homage and joke to Newgrounds. Fun with friends and alright alone, but there can be some difficulty spikes if you play solo. Two of my xbox 360s red ringed because of this game 15 years ago.

There are games that come and go—and then there are games like Castle Crashers that crash their way into your memories and set up camp forever. I still remember the first time I picked a knight, grabbed a controller, and dove into the absolute madness that is Castle Crashers. The screen was filled with explosions, arrows, magic, and beefy sword swings. I had no idea what was happening half the time—but it didn’t matter. I was laughing too hard. This game is couch co-op. It’s the reason pizza got cold and homework didn’t get done. It’s that magical combination of chaotic brawling, weird humor, and just enough RPG elements to make you care about your build—but not enough to make you stop and min-max. Leveling up your agility because you liked shooting 800 arrows a minute? Valid. Maxing strength so you could one-shot bandits? Also valid. The art style is still iconic—bright, cartoony, violent in the most lovable way. The music slaps. The bosses are bizarre and hilarious (looking at you, giant cat with laser eyes), and the whole game oozes that Newgrounds-era charm that feels like a portal to a simpler, sillier time. And yes, we fought each other for the princesses. Every. Single. Time. Even now, all these years later, it holds up shockingly well. It's fast, fun, and somehow still feels fresh. Whether you're introducing it to new friends or reuniting the old crew for one last knightly brawl, Castle Crashers is always ready to deliver. Pure co-op magic from the golden age of arcade beat ‘em ups. If you grew up with it, it’s a core memory. If you didn’t? It’s not too late to become a knight, smack some barbarians, and fight your friends for glory.

I used to play this game with my dad when I was really really little, and even now its still a blast to play, especially with friends. I'm super excited for the New DLC to come out

its pretty good, but it needs more things to do other than play story mode and a few other game modes. But otherwise its really good

One of the most fun games I've ever had the pleasure of playing, couldn't recommend it more! It's plenty fun solo, a riot with friends.

Very fun game, especially when playing with friends. Unique style, cheap price, recommended.

Hack, Slash, and Smash your way to victory might be THE hardest description ever so true so right, time to get this vic roy.

Thumbs up

Castle Crashers is an insane game — until the moment you decide to play online or with friends and get to the part where you have to save the last princess. You give it your all to beat your friend, defeat the boss, and win the princess — until you start fighting in real life just over her. And then, when you finally win, you discover one of the biggest plot twists in gaming and end up losing your sanity and falling into a massive existential void — all because of the game’s ending.

I highly recommend this game if you're looking to end a friendship.

absolutely one of the best games to play with friends to have fun. 10/10

really fun game, so fun in fact that you should stop reading the reviews and play it, NOW!!!

I put 87 hours on this game. I played it with my nieces and nephews and they loved it. 4 Player support is great, I wish more games had this function.

The best game ever I high suggest to all rpg or pvp players thank you beahmoth for making my childhood memories

I love this game! I’m not even done with my first play through and it’s already one of my favorite games! It’s worth the price, but when it goes on sale, it’s a must buy.

Amazing game, it’s so fun to string combos and kick butt. unique boss fights and fun rpg elements with the level up system. I have all of that to say and I’ve only played for an hour! Pick it up ❤️

Lots of silliness and fun. Better with people to play with and plenty to collect, but I don't recommend trying to get every single thing in one sitting.

I use to love playing this game with my siblings and now revisiting it with my friends I still love it

I've re-bought this game so many times, and ill continue to re-buy it! I've playing it since release on Xbox 360! old memory's lots of fun with friends! Would recommend!

This game has the same issue as mortal kombats ninjas. I and I think many others want more Palette Swap Knights of every single color. The developers might earn unlimited wealth from something so easy, but they also brought it on themselves.

Used to play this a lot with my brother on our playstation it was always super fun, rebought it for my computer and its okay, i know they say to use a controller but i dont have one for my pc, the default settings for keyboard are extremely hard to use so i had to rechange them. Its a fun game overall but i wouldnt play it without a controller

★★★★★ (Amazing Game)

Fun little 10 hour game. Worth playing with friends.

It is best to experience this game with friends. Joking around makes the bad hitboxes and sometimes tedious combat less of a pain. Fingers hurt from mashing the attack button that does no damage after a single level. Great hero / item / boss selection so if you like 2D beat'em ups and have friends around you will have a great time

This game is great if you grew up with any Behemoth games. You can play this game at anytime you would like and you will still enjoy the nostalgic feeling of playing it. The game does get a little repetitive after you have beaten it more then once, but there is more then just the story mode of it. You can play a button mashing game to see how long you can live, or you can even just fight against your own friends (if you even have any). It's hard to get someone into the game if they have never played it before on any older consoles, but once you do, the fun is almost endless. This game holds a special place in my heart. It was also one of the first games I have ever touched. 10/10, I recommend the game to people who have played battle block theater, pit people, or any popular behemoth game.

A very good button smashing game, with many characters and weapons to unlock, although weapon features aren't that different among them... excited for the new dlc!

might actually be the best game to play with a group, its in our souls to just beat up dudes with our gang

this game is a really fun and old game it is so fun it reminds me of my child hood if you want this game wait till sale i got the game for 30 cents

i've loved this game for so long and its so good, i've bought i on any different platforms and have been playing since it came out on ps3

guys this game is very good and peak the good starters are blue knight and orange knight tho the final boss sucks but when you win you kiss a clown (twitter user lol) anyway this really fun game you should play it

If you’re looking for a game that perfectly blends intense action, quirky humor, and a sense of nostalgia, then look no further than Castle Crashers! Developed by The Behemoth, this colorful, chaotic beat-'em-up has been captivating players since its initial release, and for good reason. It’s an absolute blast to play solo or with friends, offering a unique experience that is both frantic and fun.

Gameplay: A Wild Ride from Start to Finish

At its core, Castle Crashers is a hack-and-slash beat 'em up where you take on the role of one of several knights, each with their own unique abilities, as you attempt to rescue princesses, defeat insane enemies, and stop an evil sorcerer from causing mayhem. The gameplay is fast-paced, featuring a variety of enemies to crush, special moves to master, and power-ups to keep things fresh.

The real charm of Castle Crashers comes from its fluid, combo-based combat. You can string together light and heavy attacks to perform devastating combos, while unlocking new magical powers as you progress. Whether it’s launching enemies into the air with a powerful hammer blow or casting a fireball to clear a room full of enemies, the combat feels satisfying and impactful.

The game doesn’t just stop at combat. There are tons of unlockable weapons, characters, and even adorable animal companions to accompany you on your journey. The sense of discovery is contagious, making you want to explore every nook and cranny to collect the next item or uncover a secret.

Visuals and Art Style: A Feast for the Eyes

One of the standout features of Castle Crashers is its art style. The cartoonish, hand-drawn visuals are vibrant, unique, and full of personality. Every character, enemy, and environment is packed with charming details that make the world feel alive. The animations are smooth, and even the most chaotic battles retain a sense of clarity thanks to the clever design choices.

The humor is also front and center in the visuals. From the expressions on the knights' faces to the whimsical designs of the enemies and bosses, the entire game exudes personality. There’s a constant lightheartedness that makes every encounter feel more like a hilarious spectacle than a traditional hack-and-slash fight.

Multiplayer: A Perfect Co-Op Experience

Where Castle Crashers truly shines is in its multiplayer experience. The game supports both local and online co-op, and the sheer joy of teaming up with friends to take down enemies, share a laugh, and engage in friendly competition is unmatched. The chaos of battle is taken to a new level when you’re working together to defeat hordes of enemies, while also trying to collect the most loot. It’s always a race to see who can land the final blow or grab the most treasures, and the game’s lighthearted tone makes it all the more enjoyable.

The dynamic between players adds a layer of fun, with the possibility for friendly competition as well as moments of complete absurdity. Whether you’re saving each other from being overwhelmed by enemies or laughing over accidental betrayals, Castle Crashers is a perfect example of how multiplayer gaming should feel: fun, frantic, and endlessly entertaining.

Soundtrack: Epic and Playful

The music in Castle Crashers is a perfect match for its overall tone. The soundtrack blends epic, heroic themes with playful, quirky melodies, ensuring that each level feels like an exciting adventure. Whether you’re exploring a forest or facing off against a giant boss, the music ramps up the excitement and helps keep you immersed in the action. It’s not just background noise—it’s part of the game’s personality.

Replayability: Never a Dull Moment

Even after you’ve completed the main story, Castle Crashers has plenty of content to keep you coming back. With multiple characters to unlock, challenging post-game content, and achievements to earn, the game offers hours of additional fun beyond the initial playthrough. The desire to level up, complete all the side quests, and discover hidden secrets ensures that Castle Crashers stays fresh long after you finish the main campaign.

Castle Crashers is a charming, action-packed beat ‘em up that delivers tons of fun with its colorful art style, quirky humor, and fast-paced combat. The game features a classic hack-and-slash formula, where you and your friends can team up to fight through hordes of enemies, level up your characters, and rescue princesses. The co-op gameplay is where the magic happens — teaming up with friends makes every battle even more enjoyable and chaotic.

The humor is offbeat and entertaining, with plenty of goofy moments that add to the game’s lighthearted vibe. The diverse cast of knights, each with unique abilities, offers a good amount of variety, and the upgrade system keeps things fresh as you progress through the story. The levels are vibrant and creatively designed, each with its own set of challenges, keeping the gameplay engaging throughout.

Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, Castle Crashers offers hours of fun with its exciting combat, charming aesthetic, and rewarding progression. It’s a timeless classic in the beat ‘em up genre that never fails to entertain.

Awesome game to grind with friends! The back off barbarian achievement was STRESSFUL

Pretty awesome, beat this game on green knight and now that it is done, I gotta do 100% on every character

truly one of the best games of the generation. from the 360 in the living room to goofing off with friends on steam. this game never fails to make you laugh at its awesome stupidity while having some of the best gameplay you'll ever have (including all of its perks) there is a reason this game is overwhelmingly positive. so many different ways to play the game with how you unlock a new one after almost every game completion. buy buy buy

was disappointed with how laggy the steam version is in comparison to consul. fun lighthearted game though. i recommend you play with friends as its allot more fun.

A quintessential piece of my childhood, absolutely love this game.

Muito pica esse jogo,é ótimo com amigos tanto local ou online,trilha sonora foda d+

If you have 4 players - I would recommend this game.... However;

It was good fun playing this with my boyfriend till we got to a volley ball level which seems impossible without 4 players. We tried over and over to bypass this part, but eventually gave up in frustration as the AI has 4 players and we have 2 - and simply cant run fast enough - especially with the depth perception issues this game presents. Even if we got 2 other players to come play with us, we were already 19 levels in... so I guess this is where we call it quits - another game to the trash heap, never to be completed. Bummer.

Battleblock theater is way better, I recommend passing this and playing that instead. You'll get the fun campy art and story, the crude humor and everything else - just done better.

fun and honestly pretty hard on the first few tries, probably better with friends

I've beaten this game on other storefronts many times over. It's one of the best brawlers out there, and a surefire way to have a blast playing something with friends if you're all up for something with couch co-op.

Castle Crashers is the video game equivalent of chugging five energy drinks and trying to joust a raccoon with a stick—pure, chaotic brilliance.

You start as a colorful little knight on a noble quest to save princesses, but somewhere along the way you're fighting cyclopses, riding on deer that violently evacuate themselves through the forest, and battling a giant corn monster that explodes into popcorn. Nothing makes sense. Everything is perfect.

Combat? Glorious button-mashing madness. Story? Shakespeare wishes. Multiplayer? It's friendship-ruining gold-hoarding betrayal wrapped in a Saturday morning cartoon.

And the boss fights? They range from "mildly concerning" to "what in the medieval acid trip did I just witness?"

This game is dumb in the most intelligent way possible. 11/10, would swordfight a bear in a wedding chapel again.
