Castle Crashers - old school hack 'n slash goodness

Gary Sax had a blog post recommending this Xbox Live Arcade game a couple of days ago. I'm here to second that recommendation. This game feels like those classic Capcom beat-em-up/hack 'n slash games like Final Fight and Magic Sword, but with cute li'l cartoon knights (similar art style to Alien Hominid - same developer) dealing out the bloody mayhem. You can play by your lonesome or with up to 3 of your Ameritrashiest buds. If you love those old arcade button mashers like I do, give it a download.

I've been waiting for this title to hit XBLA for months.

Did it let down?

No.

Castle Crashers is the best original title on XBLA, bar none.

It's a classic weapon based beat'em up with pseudo-rpg elements including level up and finding new weapons which change your stats. You can also have an animal friend accompany you - each animal helps you in some way (whether by boosting stats, attacking the enemy, or helping you find items).

This is game, it's worth the 1200MS Points (space bucks!) and may be the best game i've bought all year (Is Fallout 3 out yet?).

This game oozes ameritrash too.

Now if only Capcom could get the licenses back to release the Dungeons and Dragons Beat'em ups and the greatest beat'em up of all time: Alien vs Predator.

Damn all those Capcom CPS2 beat'em ups are amazing.

I really wish Castle Crashers would come out on WiiWare.

Not going to happen.

I could see a release on PSN though.

Alien Hominid was on Gamecube. One can dream.

Alien Hominid HD is on XBLA :laugh:

But yes, one can dream, however I just don't think it's realistic that WiiWare is going to become a major source of newly developed, downloadable only, titles in the way that XBLA and, to a lesser extent, PSN are becoming.

Not only is this game worth $15 I'd probably pay a full 59.99 for it if it were a retail release.

What an excellent, excellent game.

So worth 15. I loved Braid, but I'm still not sure it was worth the 15$ I paid. I never for a second thought that this wasn't.
