When you start the game, you will choose your hero (you’ll unlock new ones too) and work your way through a Mario influenced world map. This is not the first nor will it be the last game to play like this but Castle Crashers Remastered does it extremely well. Attack, Defense, Magic and Agility are the attributes which will decide the fate of your character and you will grow significantly stronger as you journey through this story. As you progress, you will gain experience points which you can use to customize your character. The stages themselves are side scrolling affairs and you will defeat enemies using swordplay, magic and a crossbow. You can button mash your way through the adventure or you can strategically use combos to get through the levels flawlessly. I really enjoyed this universe and had no issue accepting all the circumstances and elements within it.Įssentially Castle Crashers Remastered is a beat-em-up with RPG elements but the game can be as complex as you want it to be.

There is a childlike imagination at play here and this allows the enemies, environments and bosses to be strange and unexpected. Characters, backdrops and weapons are all hand drawn which gives the game a uniqueness that the majority of current titles lack. The first thing you will notice when you load up Castle Crashers Remastered is just how creative and flamboyant the world is.

I am so pleased that The Behemoth took their time to create this remastered version because I really enjoyed this game and hope others take the time to experience it too. Having never had the opportunity to play the original I was eager to see what I had missed.
