Play+volleyball+with+your+friends! If you're lucky enough, you can successfully create private matches with your friends, but out of several people only one of my friends was able to host a match without getting an error. Despite that flaw, it is nice that you can mix up the local and online co-op modes, so if you and a buddy at your house want to pair up with some other people on your friends list, you can do that. Friends curious about the game can also drop-in and out from the map, but not in the middle of a level, so it's not truly drop-in, drop-out co-op. With local co-op mode, you can't sign into multiple accounts like you could in the Xbox 360 version you can only split up the main PSN ID into quarters. Speaking of friends, you can crash castles with the favorite people on your friends list either locally or online. Since it's designed to be a cooperative game, it's hard to scold The Behemoth for making it incredibly difficult to conquer on your own. The biggest issue in trying to take on levels solo is that multiple enemies can assault you with ranged attacks, making it difficult to even stand up before being knocked down again. Though it can be done, single-player assaults are more frustrating and less enjoyable than teaming up with other people. The Behemoth is known for making difficult games, most notably Alien Hominid, and that reputation stands true if you try and take on the campaign by yourself. It's fun to battle with a small animal hovering around you, especially if it's Rammy the ram who will ram nearby enemies for you. Each animal provides a different boost and comes complete with an endearing name, so Meowburt the kitty increases your agility skill while Owlet the owl can retrieve food items for you. There are 28 creatures (the two DLC animals from the Xbox 360 version are now included) scattered across the lands, and it's up to you to find them. Animal orbs are probably my favorite thing in Castle Crashers because they're just so damn cute. The urge to find a better, cooler weapon never dies, so you can expect to search the many hidden crevices of the game until you find something that suites your style. A regular sword might take away a point of Strength but add a point to your Agility, so you'll need to make the call on what traits are more important to you.
Every weapon will affect your stats either positively or negatively. You can find new weapons several ways some will be obviously given to you and others you'll need to dig up or purchase at a store.
On your quest to save the princesses you'll discover two other tools to help you: melee weaponry and animal orbs. You can build up your character however you'd like, but that's not the only way you can customize. As you progress, you'll garner more skill points to divide amongst four traits: Strength, Magic, Defense, and Agility. Armed with magic and steel (or maybe a stick), you'll hack your way through mounds of enemies, gain experience points, and level up. The four starting knights wield magic powers that are differentiated by armor color - Red has lightning, Green has poison, Orange has fire, and Blue has ice. To counteract the adorableness of Paladin's creations, the game includes lots of potty humor and gore-filled battles. His unique art style really brings the environments to life, and even the most ferocious monsters are still pretty cute. From slip-n-slide icy terrains to sandy deserts, it's clear that every area was crafted with care by the Behemoth's resident artist, Dan Paladin. The best part of Castle Crashers is exploring the world - there are tons of levels that look and play completely differently. If you're like me, you probably don't need an excuse to chop enemies up into little pieces. That's not a bad thing, though, especially for a brawler. There's no dialogue, so you won't get more of a story than that unless you use your imagination. As one of the knights of the castle, it is your duty to retrieve the stolen goods and fair maidens. Unfortunately, it seems like the PSN version also includes online problems, just like its former release.Ĭastle Crashers starts with a mysterious man snatching a large (and what I assume is also expensive) crystal and four lovely princesses from the King's throne. Taking that long to port a game over to another console might seem crazy, but The Behemoth did its best to ease the pain by adding in some new features and including DLC packs that Xbox 360 owners had to pay for. It's been two long years since Castle Crashers was released on Xbox Live Arcade, but PlayStation owners will finally get to see what the fuss was all about.
