Castle Crashers Remastered is a Free Update For PC

The formerly Xbox One exclusive "remastered" edition of Castle Crashers has come to the PC as a free update.

You may recall back in September The Behemoth announced that Castle Crashers was getting the Steam PC version of the game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/142280-Castle-Crashers-Remastered-Announced-Free-on-Xbox-360] added all of the Remastered features absolutely free of charge.

Dubbed the "Barbarian Makeover Update", the free patch adds:

New mini game: Back Off Barbarian
Uncapped frame rate (FPS)
Ultra mode: high quality textures
Updates to UI flow
Russian language support added
General bug fixes and improvements

Back Off Barbarian will replace the All You Can Quaff mini-game [https://thebehemoth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205839693], and the new Ultra mode is intended for use on high spec gaming systems and requires a 64-bit OS. It's turned off by default, so those of you wit beefier systems may want to go into the game's settings and turn it on.

It's nice to see the Behemoth add all the new content as a free update for its loyal PC fanbase! The update is live now, and should automatically download when you next boot up Steam. As for you Sony gamers, there is still no word on whether or not Castle Crashers Remastered will make it onto the PS4.

Not trying to take away from this, its a great update and free is my favorite price... but is it greedy to wish there was more too it? a new level or difficulty or character or... idk... something?

Good news. Thanks for doing the right thing by us, Behemoth.

This has been your daily reminder that indie devs - the ones who actually make good games as opposed to being fly-by-night Unity asset flippers - are a million times more on the customer's side than publishers.

The question is whether they're also better than Valve, and plan to actually fix any bugs this update may have introduced.

In short, an excuse to play the game again. Yea, I'm with you. A very nice update, but not a reason to boot up the game if I wasn't already going to do so.
