Dive into the hilariously chaotic world of Castle Crashers, a fantastic online co-op game boasting a roster of over 30 unique and quirky characters. Want to assemble the complete collection? This guide reveals all the secrets to unlocking every playable character.
Castle Crashers offers 32 playable characters, each unlocked through a variety of challenges, from conquering tough bosses to completing optional DLC content. Teaming up with friends in co-op mode is the most efficient way to unlock the full roster. Remember, each player in a co-op game needs to choose a different character; you can't have multiple players as the Green Knight, for instance. Unlocks are also individual; you can't share characters across profiles or between players.
