Castle Crashers mini review

Do you remember the days of Atari, NES, even SNES? When Mario walked across a 2d landscape and his game didn’t come at a 60 dollar price tag? I do! Alas those days and games are gone. 2D innovation is gone forever, lost in a purely 3D age.

But not anymore. A brand new developer by them name of the Behemoth brings you Castle Crashers, a cartoon knights adventure with its own twists and curves.

I just happened to be flipping through the demos on the Xbox live marketplace the other day when I happened to see the name Castle Crashers (Free Demo). Immediately I had to see what had been put together, and what it was all about. When I was finished with the demo I immediately purchased the game. Why, you ask? To put it simply: The game kicks ass! With 3 different modes of play, a co-op campaign, and the ability to battle other gamers online in the arena for glory, it’s awesome! Not only are the gameplay options great, but the game itself has a great soundtrack, and the visual graphics are superb. It’s even better that the game only comes out to about an 8 dollar purchase at 1,200 Microsoft gamer points. The game takes off quickly and never looks back! Crushing foes, defeating bosses, collecting gold, and saving the damsel in distress! If you are a person who wishes Mario would’ve kicked the crap out of enemies with a sword, shield, and magic then this is the game for you. Overall the game receives a 9 out of ten rating from me.
