Castle Crashers: A Retrospective Look at a Forgotten Game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- Almost 15 years ago, a masterpiece was made. Castle Crashers is a game that was popular on the Xbox 360 many years ago, and contributes to the nostalgia felt by the gamers of that era. Nowadays however, the game is not talked about much. Today, I'd like to revisit this forgotten gem of a game, in the hopes of not only reminding people of it, but also bringing it to a new audience who were not a part of the Xbox 360 era.

Don't forget the best part of the multi-player. The fight to the death with tour friends to kiss the princess.
Mann I miss this ga!e :(
Vv❤
HAVE YOU NO MAIDENS!?
I get to fuck the princess
wish I could beat the bad guys to kiss the hot knight
this game was my childhood
Same my dad loved this game and I played it with him and my brother, it was so fun man!
Same my childhood with thus game is too good
The best game ever
I'm playing right now
Never forget this game ever brother
I dedicated a whole summer to finish this game. Pure nostalgia.
Whole summer my ass, game is like 3 hours long
@@DiamondEpic9319 No, Beat it once normally, Then Insane mode, Then unlock all the characters so you need to beat it with a bunch of characters, Get all the pets and weapons, Beat all the Arenas too.
@WSPRNG Yeah, I know because I've done it. Still doesn't take a whole summer, lol
@@DiamondEpic9319 it's not gonna take 3 hours though.
@tabbris if your goal is JUST to beat normal mode the game literally takes like 3 hours
Pro tip: in the corn boss when the corn goes underground if u stand next to the villagers the corn will come up and damage them, then they will help you with the fight
Seems good on paper but usually they do shit
Spent a whole summer trying to beat the game on all characters in insane mode. I’m proud to say I haven’t gotten bored of the game. I’ve been playing for a strong 9 years.
Jeez, how far did you get in that attempt? I had a majority of the characters unlocked and beat the game with a good number of them but my main was the orange knight and furthest I got on Insane was the necromancer fight. No matter how well it was going, I'd always end up getting hit by /something/, and I'd be fucked lmao. So close but so far. Enemy health pools on Insane are just something else lmfao
@@zeroethsort1071same place I got my Green knight stuck. The swamps as Green knight were agony
It's CRIMINAL that we never got more Castle Crashers.
The amount of time that goes in to making flappy birds nevermind the best game oat makes u want to never make another game again
the story was subtly continued in battleblock. the hat is possessed by the wizard
Oh boy this comment aged like milk.
@@sup1602 i mean it's just a DLC but definitely a step in the right direction
@@temporarynickname a dlc that adds the ability to make custom characters, and dan said they might consider custom weapons, levels, and spells too. He also said a sequel could be considered if they think of something fun for it
Another banger! Castle Crasher and Battleblock Theater were legendary games!
Yeah I’ll definitely make a video on Battle Block too
Literally REAL
Plus Alien Hominid
Dad”n”me?
Pit people?
I played this game ALL the time non-stop. My dad may be into new beat 'em up games, but old beat 'em ups in the 2000s like Scott Pilgrim, Phantom Breaker, and this game are still stuck in me. I cannot tell you how much I still love playing this game after all these years, from 2010 all the way to 2023.
me and my dad played all of those plus charlie murder, just bought castle crashers on pc so we can run it back 15 years later haha
Dude I couldn’t beat Scott Pilgrim. I was six but it was so hard on the later levels!!!I got to go back and play again soon
This game was my jam when I was younger. Jeez thinking about this game makes me feel old.
Same here 😔
This peak can NOT be forgotten
THIS WAS THE BEST GAME WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG. It was such a button mash game and addicting. I had almost all my characters maxed out. Glad others enjoyed this absolute masterpiece 🤟🏼❤️
glad to see that someone remembers this game, back then this was my favorite game and still is today
And behold in the year 2024 Behemoth would go 'lol, lmao' and announce dlc/content for most of their games including Castle Crashers.
My dad showed my brother and me this game and gave us his account where he only ever progressed with blue knight to level 20-30. We loved it growing up, with me maining blue knight and finishing leveling him up and my brother maining green before switching to industrialist. Super fun and I still play today. Banger music, too. Both the og and remastered versions are great with cool minigames. I'd love a Castle Crashers 2..This video makes me happy seeing the game is remembered, so thank you.
Remember falling in love with this game around 5 - 6 now im 13 and still play it.
Edit: necromancer theme is best theme, winter bliss comes 2nd.
I loved this game so much that I beat it on both Xbox and PC
Good to see people talking about this game, The behemoth is so underrrated all their games are fire but castle crashers has to be the best one
how many people dont realize that the sock puppet is the dragon. He has it on his other hand. Also great video this game is in my top 5 for life.
You can totally tell this video was a labor of love for you and a treat for everyone who watches it. Thank you for your this 👍
It did take quite a long time but it was one of my favorite videos I’ve ever made, so I’m glad so many others have enjoyed it ❤️
BattleBlock Theater is easily the most underrated game
ON GOD BRO
This was the best childhood game I ever played
Still remember playing it for the first time on my 360. Such an awesome game.
My theory about why the game is so replayable is because every moment of the game is unique. Unique enemies on every level, wildly unique boss fights, mechanics used literally only once (like stuff seen in the chase, river and carriage ride). It’s chaotic, and that makes it beautiful.
I never forgotten this game. I remember playing this as so as I got home and with my siblings. This game was my childhood when it came to games.
Great video man! I’ve put way more hours into this game than I’d like to admit 😅 Would love to see a follow up video covering insane mode. That mode really tests your patience at times ☠️
That video is definitely in my plans for future videos
7:53 so glad you mentioned this masterpiece
This game was a huge part of my childhood. I'm extremely excited for the upcoming DLC both because of funny custom characters and having the painter as a playable character was something I've wanted ever since I was a kid.
I never forgot this game. It has a entire part of my brain dedicated to it
This game has got to be one of my favorites, I'm so very happy that someone else on this platform is bringing more attention to it
This game was legendary. I remember whenever I go to my grandma's house, I would go on the old PS3 and hop on it. I never had the full game, but the demo was enough to fill my entertainment all day. It's so nostalgic and fun, the music is awesome, the gameplay and story is pretty awesome too, and I always chose the green poison knight. I haven't played it in 2 years, I wish I had it.
EDIT: 3/25/24 I GOT CASTLE CRASHERS REMASTERED ON MY PLAYSTATION 4! THE FULL GAME!!
I hate you why are you exactly the same as how I was
I can't describe with words the happiness I get when people acknowledge this game. I am so glad my childhood was in hands of The Behemoth. Castle Crashers is so good, and I was so excited when the remaster got released.
Crazy quality for a smaller channel glad this blew up for you
I never really played this game until recently with a couple of friends of mine and it's so much fun I swear to god.
"and there goes the sock puppet, never to be addressed again"
check the Cyclops rematch, the dragons skeleton is there along with the sock
The max agility arrow comparison to an assault rifle is so spot on hilarious
i like how he used simple sight/piercing laser/necromancer theme for the music i think its the best song out of the ost
Quick Correction - Animal orbs aren't locked behind a level barrier
It goes by wether you've picked them up or not.
Example : my friend played for the first time and joined my lobby so all the animals were in their spots but he couldn't pick them up since he never found them in their respective levels.
Also fun fact : You don't even need the magic jump to unlock the orange cat jn the animal shelter, you just gotta keep jump attacking til you reach the ceiling.
the first video game i ever played. Im still playing this game. I love it so much
I started to play this game after literal DECADES, it's my new favorite game after 12 years
i cant stress how important it is to have volume on, the soundtrack on this game is so insane
I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD BLOCK THE LAZERS FROM THE GIANT! Ive played this game dozens of times and i assumed that the giant lazer cant be blocked.
Helpful information 😂
I might replay it, I remember it to be so fun to play with friends
I’d recommend giving it a replay, but try get some friends to do it with you too. It was always more fun that way
One point I'd like to add to this is that Castle Crashers is also really fun in Co-op. I played it with my siblings growing up.
this video supplied me with a healthy amount of sizable chuckles. i appreciate it.
This was my first game ever played.i played it when i was 3 and only played the tut for whole 2 years.eventually,my father came to visit us and bought the whole game and i came back from kindergarten when i was 5.my sister was on the console and told me she has beaten the barbaric boss.as soon as my sister was done playing i immediatly hopped on and played.i didnt have the dlc dor ps3 but i played with silver knight because he looked cool haha.then,years later 2017 i got my switch and bought castle crashers 2019.it was so nostalgic and i realized i had the other knights and didnt need to buy a dlc.i was so happy.now im 14 and still playing.i still dont have the golden skull on ny knight but who cares?the games still fun
Forgotten no longer.
Caste crashers is a top tier game
Truly a work of art
This was my first game i ever played so many good memories thats why i immediately clicked on this great vid keep up the good work!!!
I completely forgot about this video of yours, I purchased Castle Crashers last summer sale, and played a ton with my cousin, I had played with him before on his laptop when I was waaaay younger, and him too, the whole time we were making references to a rather obscure humour channel we watched at the time, this game is awesome, I'm having fun in single player now.
Forgotten??????
New dlc coming soon
God you brought back so many amazing memory's, Hell my dad's old stream of me and him is still up playing this game together, And for that I say thank you so much.
If yall wonder what that stream is here it is: ruclips.net/video/tFAuZsBsj6s/видео.html
(Also blue night is best)
This will probably go unnoticed by TrippedUp, but they’re re-drawing all the knights and whatnot in an upcoming update for pc and it’s looking REAL good. Definitely time for a replay around when it launches.
Saw this last night, I can’t believe they’re updating the game after all this time. Makes me really excited
I remember playing this with my cousins, it was so fun, I always played the purple knight because he was cool, I got it the remastered version on steam, loved every second of it.
Not a forgotten game by the players or devs, it's literally one of the highest rated games on steam too. Plus how're you going to try and get players into a game as you said yourself but then spoiler the vast majority of the game over a pointlessly long video lmao.
The only way you get the game spoiled by this video is if you ignore the part where I literally tell you that I’m going to be going over the entire game. It’s your choice to watch past that point, and therefore your fault if you get the game spoiled by this video.
the game is 16 years old lmao
wow this aged poorly
???
Never knew everyone who played this when they were young also did stuff like catfish boat slam and the animation glitch with the big guy
the amount of nostalgia I got from this video is insane
"forgotten game"
Uh... Buddy, idk how to tell you this, but people still play this game. Is it anywhere NEAR as popular as when it was at its peak? No, obviously not. But I REALLY wouldn't call it "forgotten".
Even today, I can still pretty much always find online people to play with in random lobbies. I can even semi-consistently get a FULL 4 player squad. This may not seem like much at first, but think: how many players could ALREADY be in game? How many could be going solo?
Steam charts says there’s usually around 300-400 people on at any given time, which is definitely a good amount for such an old game. Still, a lot of people I talked to while making this video said they didn’t know the game or hadn’t thought about it in years before I brought it up. That’s why I gave it the title I did
@@TrippedUp fair enough
Forgotten 🤨
one of the few games me and my dad used to always play together, from when i was like 5 all the way to now i still main the beekeeper
This game went on sale recently and my friends and I got it and spent HOURS just grinding it. This game is a forgotten gem, especially the deluxe version.
forgotten?
I love this game and I love you for making a half an hour vid about it.
This game was never forgotten and it just got a dlc i am not joking
You forgot 1 thing about insane industrial, some enemies have a sword that can crit dealing 999 damage, even if you have the highest health possible it nearly insta-kills you thats insane
During the corn boss fight, if you get the boss to attack the peasants, they’ll fight for you
I loved this game as a kid and I still play the remastered version with my siblings and my baby brother absolutely loves and adore this game and whenever I get home from school he always shouts crashers great game wish they made a sequel
Doing the final bosses with friends was an experience I'll never forget. Only experiences in gaming that come close is the Festival level in Mario Odyssey or the warthog run in Halo 3.
I still play it on my laptop. That game was my obsession back in the day and was a big hit in my college dorm.
I have so much nostalgia playing this game with my brother when we were younger. Man was it awesome to find it on psn for ps4.
I struggle to find local co - op games to play with my girlfriend then I remembered this gem were having so much fun.
This game is a frickin classic! I love playing it with my arcade stick now, but I used to play it with my brother when he was still alive, it brings back great memories. Just drinking beer and playing this hours on end! ❤️
This is one of my all time favorite games, played it originally on the xbox arcade, then went to the Switch and now I also have it on PC. Working on getting some more of the characters on the PC because some of the unlockable characters are super fun to play
I played this game so much back then, that I know strats to make npcs helps you.
Example: In the corn fight, If u make the corn attack the 2 guys there by standing next to them and making the corn hit them, they will help you
The sandwich in this game made me think it was a team fortress 2 reference since heavy has a line that says "sandwich makes me strong"
bro i still play this as one of my fav games w my lil bros
The necromancer theme always hits different every time I hear it 7:54
ITS BEEN 15 YEARS? i still play from time to time thats how good it is. 10/10 childhood game
played nothing but this game for 2 years straight trying to beat master mode with every single knight
Played this game on my 360 many years ago as a child now it’s the first game me and my girlfriend are playing through together and we’re both loving it
Played this not even an hour ago. Game deserves more love.
This moment when he turned on the necromancer music, i couldn't hold it and started fucking dancing, and i know that you couldn't either
Still playing this game at least twice a week to this day. And it’s still very active on ps5 and xbox series x
My wife had this downloaded randomly when we plugged the Xbox 360 back in. Was so much damn fun to go through together.
nothing was better than staying up until 4am, chugging mountain dew, and playing this or black ops 2 zombie with your friends
ive always put castle crashers and BattleBlock in my favorites on steam, ive put hundreds of hours when i was 4 or 6. im glad that the game is still remembered to this day
Me and my brother used to just sit down and beat the whole game in one day, the good old days man
This game was my intro to games on console and still have so many fond memories of trying to beat this with friends, ice knight maxed magic lol
The aliens were actually a reference to their first game ever, which is "Alien Hominid".
First time watching this dude and honestly, 10/10 you’re awesome! I really liked this video and I’ll definitely watch more of your other content. Thank you.
This brought some good memories. I remember having to fight my friends when it was time to get a kiss from the princess, that was unexpected.
I wouldn’t consider castle crashes one of the main parts of my child hood, but it was definitely a pretty decent chunk, I never actually owned the game though so I only played the demo, but even then I still had a great time playing the game.
The game is really good on the 360 Xbox and the game holds a special place in my heart I grow up with this game and rip old castlecrashers
Showed this game to my little cousins when they came over for a party one day like 3 months ago?? And they all fell in love with it, made me happy to see them actually enjoying a game I liked a lot as a kid
8:21 ahh yes. Geometry dash AND that iconic rupture rage clip
Dude you are really good at RUclips your videos are great keep it up!!!
I always wanted to make a dlc of four people in a pub who just happen to get caught in the whole bad game invasion.
fun fact, bull sharks can survive in fresh water and are incredibly aggressive. i remember pulling an all-nighter with one of my best friends years ago playing this game. so many great memories
i remember visting my friend every few weekends and playing this for HOURS then going downstairs and eating spicy bean bowls
