Castle Crashers - PC Game Review

Im back! Now lets raid some Castles....

I am back guys! Sorry about being gone, I was HELLBENT on Homework and stuff. We also had to do Sats. But anyway, time to review an awesome, hack and slash, 4-players Indie game called Castle Crashers. You can buy it on Steam for £9.99, but don't be fooled, even though its cheap dosen't mean its no good.

So basically apart from being cool, its also funny. Theres minigames that everyone knows, like PVP (Player vs Player), but then theres some creative ones like "All you can quaff" where your knight races the others to stuff his face with food. This is fun, and very creative!

Aside from minigames, it gives you the control over the game by letting you attach a controler. This is a GOOD thing. Ever played a game where you feel theres no control over your character? Well, Castle Crashers got it right. So basically the story is your knight (or knights) are partying, when a guard drops dead down the stairs. You and the grey knights (The Grey ones will help, but sometimes you will have to save them) go to see what the problem is, and find that Barbarians have gained entrance to the castle! But then the Evil Wizard steals some sort of giant crystal from the king, and he sends you to fight them.

Its pretty easy when you have more than one player, but with only one it can be challenging. I think you can pick up other AI knights later through the game, but that isn't for a while. The first boss, though, is hard as hell! First its this trojan horse ramming you over and over with metorites striking the ground, and barbarian soldiers coming after you! Trust me, if you pass the Trojan Horse part on Singleplayer, you don't have a chance when the huge troll appears. My advice? Multiplayer.

Castle Crashers is good, just if you don't pick multiplayer you are screwed. If you only have the Demo, and can't play multiplayer, pick the Red Knight and hope you'll win. Thats your only chance, because the Red Knight has a mace.

Like every good game, Castle Crashers has Bosses. Some hard, some easy, but my favorite is the Necromancer Boss. Its cool, well thought of and damn fun to play. Also, he flies around with wings and one hell of a sword reviving enimies, so it has its challenging side as well. At the end you destroy his Crystal or whatever, then you win. But once again, this is only possible to win in Multiplayer or if your lucky with the Red Knight. This is a good Boss, and makes you feel that when you die its YOUR fault, not the games.

Castle Crashers is a good game, just very hard. My three parts of advice are Play Multiplayer, pick the Red Knight, and use the Controller Extension. So that ends the Review, if you don't have Castle Crashers, GO BUY IT. NOW.

You still here? Go, buy it! Its cheap!
