    Between the characters, weapons, and, the animal spirits, there is more than enough content and comedic action for everyone with a weird sense of humor.

    Every bit was wonderful as it was the first time around. Bright, cheerful, packed with things to do, and rocking some classic brawler action, it looks as beautiful as ever and there’s no excuse not to give it a look. It’s just as fresh as it was back in the day, and a 100% discount for prior players is friggin’ perfect.

    Whether you’re coming back to the game for a second time or you’re a new player, this is a game that has something to offer for everyone.

    It might be worth the slightly crisper version, just to experience it all over again.

    Seven years later, Castle Crashers still is one of the best side-scrolling beat'em'ups around, thanks to a great co-op implementation too.

    Castle Crashers gets the "perfect" remaster. All DLC included, technically improved where possible and it's free if you bought the original. Needless to say, the game is great, and it's one of the funniest beat 'em up we've ever played with friends.

    Castle Crashers Remastered brings the same fun of the original game, plus the DLC included. If you haven't played it on Xbox 360 it's almost mandatory to buy, if you've already played it then it's cost is strongly reduced. It's something like a win-win.

    If you somehow still haven't played Castle Crashers, now is the perfect time to do so. If you already have the game on another platform, it may not be worth the upgrade, because the game has been changed so little that you won't be missing anything new.

    Castle Crashers Remastered is even seven years at it's original release, still very fun to play. Unfortunately there aren't any significant improvements and changes, and that's quite a shame.

    Castle Crashers Remastered is an outstanding brawler that has some addictive progression hooks built in, creative levels and enemies and is best experienced with a group of friends where you can laugh and rib one another through the experience.

    Castle Crashers Remastered seems like a no-brainer, but since it’s virtually the same game that released seven years ago, it still has the same flaws.

    Knock off a point if you're planning on playing solo, but get a few friends together and you'll be in for one hell of a Knight. Sorry.

    Castle Crashers Remastered is a real hoot speaking as someone who missed out seven years ago. It's bright, funny button-masher that’s deep enough if you want more, and it has an Arena Mode, the Back Off Barbarian minigame, and an "Insane Mode" for good measure.

    I maintain that Castle Crashers is a good game. Great, even, if you're playing cooperatively. But seven years later, I'm not nearly as smitten. I just can't endlessly grind battles like I used to.

    Castle Crashers Remastered keeps the game relevant to Xbox again and comfortably keeps a void in the systems library filled.

    A good remastered version of the “classic” title. Still funny and chaotic as always, with better graphics and a stable 60fps. Unfortunately it’s way too similar to the original and has with it a price that is too high for a seven-year-old game. Still, if you don’t know it, it’s a suggested buy (but wait for a discount!).
