Castle Crashers Dev Reveals New Game

Castle Crashers [http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Hominid-Playstation-2/dp/B000678MB6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1280172875&sr=1-1] developer The Behemoth has formally unveiled Battleblock Theater, its next cartoonishly-gory XBLA action game.


The Behemoth has really made a little niche for itself with the formula that produces games like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashes - Step One: Start with colorful, 2D cartoon characters. Step Two: Add fun, addictive co-op action. Step Three: Add some fun, over-the-top violence, and it all comes together rather well in the end.

Well, the formula ain't broke, and The Behemoth sure ain't fixin' it for its third game, Battleblock Theater [http://devblog.thebehemoth.com/?p=2130]. The trailer, as seen above, tells a simple story: You are shipwrecked on an island, betrayed by your best friend Hatty, and forced to compete in lethal games for the amusement of the local populace. There's a bunch of quick snippets of gameplay, and from what we can see it looks like a really quick, violent co-op action platformer. Which should be fun.

Oh, and extra points for the music, guys.

The Behemoth will be unveiling more about the game via its Developer Blog [http://devblog.thebehemoth.com/], so stay tuned.

Interesting, very interesting.

I would like to try this game out now. Oh well, I'll be patient.

When is it coming out??????????????????? *nerdrage*

 

[TheNamlessGuy]

DELETED

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Hmmmm, this doesn't look that good...

Dammit, I was looking forward to it.

I loved Alien Hominid on the PS2, and I haven't tried out Castle Crashers because I don't have an Xbox. I hope that this comes out on PS3, for sure.

Cant wait for CC on the psn. Cant watch the vid becuase im at school but I hope this also releases on the PSN.

 

[The Great JT]

Looks like fun.

 

[Legion]

The graphical style, music and concept are all fantastic. The game-play itself looks kind of disappointing though, it looks more like Super Smash Brothers than anything else.

I was hoping for a more unique twist/style of game-play than is shown in the trailer.

Castle crashers is amazing so i will defiantly get this

 

[MrPop]

Brilliant. Really looking forward to this.

I loved the charming nature of Castle Crashes and this looks to have the same pull with the wuv-able looking characters. Also the arena in Castle Crashers wasn't great and I tended to just just co-op adventure but from what I've heard this sounds like a multiplayer gold mine.

Can't wait until it comes out.

Looks like a combination of Soldat and Smash Bros\Subspace Emissary.

Knowing the qualities of their other games, this seems extremely promising.

 

[The DSM]

This game is great way to save money.

Step 1.)Buy it and play co-op with somone.

Step. 2) Keep screwing them over, get punched in the face and you dont have to buy them birthday presents any more.

Im still getting it though.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Alright! Go Tom!
That's 3 games!
[sup]And still no sequels in sight...[/sup]

the only reason ive kept me 360 for the last year is CC and nothing else, and the only reason i dont plan on selling it soon is cause of this game

I just read that Castle Crashers is scheduled for a PS3 release. Score! I'm very happy now, to say the least.
