X-Box live arcade came. It's kind of like a Double Dragon Beat them up game only with swords and bows.

I played the demo and enjoyed it. It has a nice cartoonish style and controls well, especially if you are used to the older games.

I'm likely buy it once they release the patch for it that is in development. Supposedly the multiplayer has some issues.

It's an excellent, wonderful, beautifully done game.

It has the same graphic/art-look of Okami, with a distinct Gauntlet-Legends style of play, with some of the most fantastic local or online multiplayer I've seen in any game for a long time (outside of a Nintendo console, of course). A MUST have for any X-box 360 owner.

I even seriously considered buying another Xbox JUST for this arcade game. But alas, the budget wouldn't allow it.

Never heard of it?

Is it a PC, Console, or Web game?
I think Tom Fulp on Newgrounds made it, which is why I am in confusion on why this is on The Escapist.

Because this is the gaming forum thats why, its a legitimate post for this area.


back on topic, I love castle crashers, its fun to play with friends, it has the classic new grounds feel to it, and some of the humor is pretty witty when its not resorting to gross out jokes. The all you can quaff mini game is kind of stale in my opinion, I hate pound the two buttons faster than the other guys type of minigame. But the main game is lots of fun. there are many, many different weapons and pets to find. Its great fun to play multiplayer. unfortunatly, the xbox live function is incredibly buggy, every time I try to play online, I either can't get into a game, it says there aren't any games, or I get in and lag out 5 seconds after starting. Fortunatly they are working on a patch for it, so its all good.

Webgames. Meh.
None will top Staggy II, and even it ain't that good.
Castle Crashers is a good deal deeper than any webgame I played. Also, in reply to the comment farther up, the art style really isn't anything like Okami at all. No Japanese watercolor stylings, and Castle Crashers isn't even 3D.

I love the single player, but any attempt at playing online leads to my game freezing. REALLY annoying.
