According tothis updatefrom the game’s official development blog, Castle Crashers— the long-awaited, XBLA-exclusive, hand-drawn 2D beat ’em up from the great minds at The Behemoth — is finally complete. This, my friends, is very good news.
With the PS3 soon to be adorned with the magic that will beMetal Gear Solid 4, and the Wii already being graced with the mystery (andschwetty balls) that isWii Fit, the 360 could desperately use some AAA exclusives to keep up with its Japanese cousins. It feels like perfect timing that this fantastic game has swooped in just when the 360 needs it. Really, who cares aboutPetal Rear Squalid Doorwhen you’ve gotCastle Crashers?

Sadly, the game wont befinishedfinished for up to a few months. There are still various hoops of red tape that The Behemoth must jump through before the game can be put out for sale. Until then, remember to keep up with the game’sofficial blog, which still has many characters and items to be revealed. Also, you can playthe flash game spin-off, which is quite well made, considering it’s free. Or you can just go at it inRiver City Ransom. Any and all of the above should do well to put one in the mood for some crashing.
