Awesome Radical Gaming

Since the release of Castle Crashers there has been a lot of speculation about finding certain weapons or unlocking additional characters. Apparently, while they were testing the game through Xbox Live, someone was able to download the then incomplete game and make a video of themselves playing it. In the video were two additional characters, the necromancer and the king, as well as another weapon, the chainsaw.

A lot of people have been trying to figure out how to unlock them in the now complete game, to no avail. Well, Behemoth has posted on their official Castle Crashers blog to stop looking because, as it turns out, those items are for future DLC through Xbox Live. They also mention that they’re fixing some bugs that have come up, like probably the one that kept disconnecting me from online games.

Castle Crashers looks really fun. I’m seriously pumped for this game, I can’t wait to play it co-op. I don’t see why it’s not getting more attention actually, it seems like it would be the perfect game to play with 3 other friends. Maybe the problem is it’s not 3D enough, I don’t know.

I really liked Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers looks just as awesome. Multiplayer beat-em-ups are always good, and I love the artwork in the game. I’ve been wondering if Castle Crashers was ever coming out, actually, it seems like it’s taken forever to develop. Well a release date has been set (sort of) for summer 2008.

Also, we have a couple of new screen shots that look really nice.
