    Never rescuing princesses had been as fun as in Castle Crashers Remastered. Choose your knight and go out to the battlefield with your favorite fish, melt your enemies with rainbows and, above all, have a great time with your friends in this amazing and addictive replayable game.

    As far as beat ‘em up brawlers go on the Switch, Castle Crashers Remastered is one of the finest titles available for the platform. Tight controls, many multiplayer modes, a great art direction and a wealth of replayable content make this an easy “ol’ reliable” game that you’ll surely be revisiting with friends for years to come. All the same, it’s also far from a perfect experience, as the repetitive nature of combat and the reliance on damage-sponges to pad out the runtime make for a title that can tend to overstay its welcome in extended sessions. Still, for a relatively cheap price at the time of writing, it’s pretty tough to argue against the raw value proposition being made here between the amount of content and overall fun factor; if you’re looking for another great co-op game to add to your Switch library, look no further.

    Despite the game starting to feel a little shallow over ten years later, Castle Crashers is still an absolute riot when played with friends. I can’t recommend it as a solo experience, meaning its appeal on a hybrid console like the Switch may be a little limited. I can however highly recommend it for sitting down and having a good time with a group of friends. If you’ve got other game consoles then you can probably already play this game at its best, but it’s always a good time to jump in and have fun crashing through some castles.

    In spite of its repetition, Castle Crashers Remastered is an enjoyable and mindless romp that’s best experienced with four players. While it might not hold up as well against my initial 2008 playthrough there’s enough content and fun still to be had that made revisiting Castle Crashers a nostalgic journey worth taking.

    While the action can get repetitive too fast and its difficulty level is a tad too artificial, the game is an overall fun experience with a good lifespan, especially on multiplayer up to four players, which is where Castle Crashers Remastered really shines.

Very fun to play with my sons as it supports up to 4 players. Here's hoping that a physical version is launched at some point, I would certainly double dip. Expand

    The perfect couch multiplayer game. Gameplay and art style holds up very well even after all these years.

    A near perfect port of the classic beat 'em up. Still loads of fun and now even better with the option to take it on the go.

Plays just as good as ever and looks a little bit nicer ...but in the world we're in now, where awesome retro gameplay styles like this are a dime a dozen on a weekly or monthly basis, think you might find going back to this one sans any new compelling content or modes...you'll be mildly bored.
