For 1200 Microsoft points ($15), you can download your own copy off the XBLA and, for those points, you'll be treated to an XBLA experience like no other. With 40 different weapons, over 22 unlockable characters, a leveling system, helpful animal orbs and even an Arena Mode, Castle Crashers should be worth every last dime. Heck, we're holding a week long Castle Crashers Baby Give-away for the game's monumental release. We're that excited! Okay, enough blab, get online and get downloading, because it's Castle Crashers and we need not say anymore.

Got the trial and despite having a few gripes with it I will be buying this shortly. Should be fun.
For the sake of conversation those gripes were not knowing the bonus of weapons without heading to the blacksmith, not being able to spend stat points whilst in a level and the absurd length of the frog/ark.

Lol, I woke up around 3am to download it, played GeoWars2 while waiting, and downloaded it as soon as it showed up in the Market!
:D
I tried to play as much as I could, but my damn eyes rebelled and forced me to sleep!
(...stupid sleep)
Now I'm stuck here at work reading about it and waiting to go home and play it more!
(...stupid work)
Well worth my monies IMO.
I definitely want to support games such as this.
(I bought Braid without even trying it and have not regretted it. This as well.)

Had a quick go of the demo and I'm a bit "meh" with this one.
Please educate me. What is so good about this game?

I'm just glad this game is out (and glad for you guys), so maybe the lovefest on this site can stop about it, and we can move on to stories on other games. Instead of this one every third story.

From the endless flogging this game has gotten here, it would be nice to know if Behemoth is a paying advertiser. Because it sure feels like it.
How about a little editorial disclosure?

Now this is more like it! As soon as the trial timed out I had to buy the full game
Far better than the last two weeks efforts :P
the guard animation could be a little quicker, or enemies ranged attacks less frequent - I hate archers is any game, but I'm still lovin it - just as I do Ninja Gaiden 2.. Castle Crashers should sell 4 times as much as gadget arm/swingerman.. you know the one... CC is easily my favourite XBLA game, first one I've found worth buying for ages.

I remember them saying there would be a free theme and gamerpics when it came out.
Only the theme is free :(

They are already on your HDD. Like most arcade games, Castle Crashers comes with a gamer picture (two in this case). Just go to your profile and change your gamer picture and they will be there.

You folks DO know that some games give you gamerpics for owning/playing them?
Change your gamer picture, you'll find Castle Crasher ones, I promise.
