Link: Co-Optimus Entry

Please keep all discussion of Castle Crashers for the Xbox Live Arcade in this thread.

I am very excited for this Live entry, everytime I see it it looks like a finished game, but it feels like it is forever in delays.

Only a few more days! This is going to rock.

I'm so friggin stoked for this.

So what's the verdict guys? I just tried the demo, it's pretty impressive!! I need to scrape together a few bucks and check out the full version! If it weren't for all those bills, and the new Metallica album this month, and saving up for L4D...

It's a friggin blast. $15 is an amazing price for this game. 4 player co-op, unlockable characters, collectable weapons and pets, deep (for this type of game) character development.

If you grew up playing golden axe, altered beast, TMNT or Simpsons in the arcade, you'll love this game. The girlfriend and I have been playing it every night and we still haven't been bored of it. I've yet to play it solo, so I can't speak to the level of enjoyment on that mode of play. I know there are some boss fights that I don't think would be pleasant to do solo, but with full service co-op on and off, I can't see it being a problem. Buy this game!

It's actually made me consider retrying Alien Hominid. I tried the demo way back when but didn't care for it overly much.

They seriously need to fix the online part of this game. It's getting ridiculous.

Alright, I'm sending Mercs 2 back to GameFly, so until Fable 2 hits I'm ready to get back to crashin' castles!! I need a few good hands, who's with me?

I can play Monday evening. Just added you to my friends list.

Good deal tx (or should I say Van?). We'll use the meet-up thread to coordinate, maybe round up another player since it looks like we've got three now.

Sounds good to me. I should be on around 8:00, after I pick up the little one from the babysitter and run an errand. Maybe earlier.

So what's the verdict? After the article today, I'm curious how's the game online?

I enjoy the game online. Too bad I can never find players to play it.

It might pick back up if the patch ever comes out. I would say that they shot themselves in the foot, but they got the sales...

The patch is finally here, incase someone didnt know. I just played a couple of games online.

oops

I mess around on CC every once in awhile so if anyone is up for a game let me know .

Yeah, would nice to actually play some various levels depending on the characters levels. Most hosts on public games like to do only two things: Kick players or go straight to the last boss.

Hit me up. I'm only around level 20 and could use some serious help getting farther into the game. Alternatively I'm up for playing new characters too.
