Every inch of the hand-drawn kingdom is brimming with endearing eccentricity. [Oct 2008, p.76]

Castle Crashers takes the best elements of traditional side-scrolling beat-em-ups and adds lots of flair.
60
Castle Crashers is an entertaining brawler, but the replay value is chopped into little frustrating bits by a horrifically painful online experience.

The original release of the game by The Behemoth. It is really similar to the PC version, aside from the "All You Can Quaff" minigame which is surprisingly addictive to play imo.

When you play this game with a room of other people, and you find yourself laughing at all the gags and references to old games, you’ll be in love with this XBLA treasure.

A great swan song for the Summer Live releases, don’t be put off by the faulty online modes as it should be fixed soon, and anyway the single player is worth your points alone.

Castle Crashers is a fantastic addition to XBLA, and a must-have for your collection. There are few games on the service that can match the depth here, and those that come close do not offer Live co-op.

Castle Crashers is a classic side-scrolling beat-'em-up infused with cartoon visuals and absurd humor, and the result is a highly amusing romp.

Stretch your fingers and invite three friends if you want to play Castle Crashers, because the game is literally a multiplayer button-bashing frenzy. The gameplay offers not much more than pressing the buttons as quickly as possible, but the humor and the fun of wreaking havoc with three friends makes the game worth the buy.

If you have the capacity to overlook its technical issues and have a group of friends who like the genre, the game could be worth a download. However, until a patch arrives, the game cannot be wholeheartedly recommended.

É um jogo engraçado, muito bom, porém é muito repetitivo. Os inimigos são as mesmas coisas, só que com skins diferentes. Mas pelo menos os chefoes são diferentes

Dude idk. I beat this game with my friend and I was confused about whether or not I enjoyed it. It's a charming throwback to early/mid-2000s humor pushed into a beat 'em up. It works well, but there are a lot of fights that feel unfair depending on the build you put together. Sometimes it works well and you feel great, other times the boss one shots you or you do no damage. Now you need to go back, grind for 20 minutes, and fill up on potions, all just to have a chance against the boss. Pretty fun and charming, with a bunch of flaws.
