Castle Crashers!!!

This game is a freaking legend...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this is honestly my favorite game of all time! What's better than awesome 2D graphics, smashing bosses, and saving princesses?

NOTHING.

Castle Crashers is a game that everybody should play. 

I know you're probably thinking... "Seriously? This looks like a cartoon?" 

But all I can ask is for you to bear with me.

Coming from the same people who build the website Newgrounds; The Behemoth is who they partnered up with in order to make these games. 

(Seriously check out some of their stuff... After all, - 

their slogan is "Everything. By Everyone.")

With that said, allow me to discuss just the surface about this crazy-fun Xbox 360 game.

To begin, it's better to grab a couple of friends (1-4 players).

With this game, the more the merrier!

You start your journey as a knight enjoying a glorious feast of food and dance. 

Everything is going great! What could possibly go wrong? I mean.. It's not like some super evil villain is going to come out of nowhere and assault the kingdom for the King's jewel.

...Oh wait.. 

That does happen.

They stole your happiness.

Stole the kings jewel.

And kidnapped 4 princesses.

(Are you going to just sit there and take that?)

(Me when I wake up on a Monday ^)

PSH! Fat chance!

Time to suit up and plow through a horde of seemingly endless enemies, traverse vast landscapes, get phat loots, and reclaim what was taken from you!

All the while leveling up and spending talent points to customize the character you want to play! 

Castle Crashers is a pretty simple and straightforward game, but for some reason it is oddly addicting. Maybe it's the funny inter-woven comic relief found throughout, or just the simplicity of it all. No matter the reason, I always find some reason to come back to it.

As much as I wish the game was free, there really is worth the price. For $15 you can buy it on Steam (where you might have played Cry of Fear) or on the Xbox Live Arcade.

You can download the free trial on the arcade and give it a whirl!

As stated, the loot is phat, and the adventure is hilarious. 

I honestly can not stress enough how well made this game is. If you get the chance to play it, do it. You'll totally regret it if you don't.

To wrap things up for this week, enjoy this short little gif about the game!

--Happy Crashing!!
