Castle Crashers is a side-scrolling, gruesome beat-em-up which incorporates a small number of role-playing game elements. After selecting a character, the player then selects a starting level (beginning with the wizard's attack on the castle) through a graph-like world map. Castle Crashers' story is based on the adventures of four knights as they attempt to chase down a wizard and his army of barbarians after stealing a large magic crystal and four princesses from the palace. Pursuing the barbarians, the knights battle the leader, during which three of the princesses are stolen by thieves. After saving the first princess, the knights pursue the thieves, and witness them selling a princess to a rich industrialist, who flees with her. The other two are quickly taken away to be sold, one to a mysterious Ice King, who quickly disappears, and the other to a cyclops, who takes her to be married to a Black Knight who is strongly implied to be his son in a nearby town.​

Buy this game. Now. It is sold over the Xbox Live Marketplace for 1200 Microsoft Points, and trust me, it's worth the cost. (15$) This game is extraordinary. It brings new life to an old genre; with cartoony, but great graphics, addicting gameplay, and hours of fun for you and your friends, this game is a masterpiece. Buy it today! :thup:​

The art of this game reminds me of a cartoon... I can't remember which one, but it's a fairly popular show...

The game is awesome, Seth. No doubt about it. My friends play this all the time whenever someone comes over with the xbox. We could play forever.

And The Behemoth.

seems like something from newgrounds.

That will be because it is by a company called The Behemoth, which Tom Fulp (owner of Newgrounds) is a part of, they also worked together to make Alien Hominid(sp?), which can also be found on Newgrounds.

Great game, I played it once round a friend's house, incredible fun .
