Game Revolution: Castle Crashers Review

Game Revolution writes: "What an exuberant game Castle Crashers is! It's so elated to be a videogame, that it approaches the clichéd conventions of dastardly foes, princesses to save, hulking bosses, bizarre weapons, and epic battles with a combination of enthusiasm and satire. And it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement. It's rounded out by some truly excellent animations and character designs which are twisted yet appealing-bloody battles have never been this adorable. Castle Crashers offers a solid take on the beat-'em-up formula which makes it a lot of fun even without the co-op. So spread the joy! Surely you have a friend or two (or thtree) who also want to decapitate others in a cute, fun-loving way."

+ Level-up RPG twist
+ Smashing things (and people) is fun!
+ Spectacularly quirky and humorous visuals
+ Ideal for co-op, but also great for single-player
- Magic attacks are useless at the start
- Co-op play on vastly different character levels
- Difficulty lining up foes
