Magic, mayhem, floating face-biting bat buddies,
fish-swords...what's not to love? Castle Crashers, one of the
most eagerly anticipated games for XboxLIVE! Arcade,
 releases
today from independent game developer The Behemoth. The studio's
award winning second title stays true to the nostalgic 2D
Side-Scrolling style with the humour and quality of gameplay we have
come to expect from The Behemoth. Featuring all hand-drawn art from
talented Dan Paladin, Castle Crashers delivers unique hi-res
illustrated visuals like nothing you've seen before.
Castle Crashers features a unique mix of Beat-‘Em-Up action
along with mild Role-Playing Game elements letting you hack, slash
and smash your way to victory. Along the way adorable Animal Orbs
can be discovered who will do everything from helping you find
buried items to chomping on the enemy's head. For the masochistic,
the game also features an Insane Mode unlocked after beating the
game in regular mode, which
 is...
well… insanely hard! When beating up the bad guys just isn't enough,
battle it out in the Arena Mode for a free-for-all, four-player
Deathmatch. Add to all this a liberal sprinkling of blood and gore
(which, by the way, parents, you can turn off), and you have a game
with endless replayability online or on your own.
Priced at 1200 Microsoft Points Castle Crashers boasts twenty
levels, over forty weapons, and more than twenty unlockable
characters, making this one of the largest games available on XboxLIVE!
Arcade. As an added bonus, the game comes with a free Dashboard
Theme and two free GamerPics! |
