Fetch a la Vache, Time to Crash the Castle

May 18th, 2008 at 9:49 AM Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

There won't be any running away from this title.  The Behemoth have announced that development on Castle Crashers is complete, and that the title is no going to go through final stages including certification.   That's the good news.

The bad news is the game is still "months away" and there's no actual release date yet.

Castle Crashers is a arcade style side scrolling hack and slash with cooperative play for up to 4 players.  It features a really slick art style that fans of other Behemoth games like Alien Hominid would recognize.  Having played this at PAX last year, I absolutely can't wait.  Hopefully the title still makes it's previously projected "summer" release date.

The lack of local co-op is a deal breaker for me.
