Turned out to be a blast with a little depth to it like the old Dungeons and Dragons(golden axe type) games. Actually very similar with its rpg and item use.

Downloaded the demo and had a blast with it so I am gonna purchase it today. I only plan on playing local w three or four peeps so hopefully the connection issues wont be there. I thought they had some expansion packs for it so once i do some research on it ll probably grab them all.

Arguably the best co-op game released to the XBLA yet. It's essentially a classic 2-D side scrolling beat em up (ala Golden Axe), updated with RPG elements and The Behemoth's unique art style and humor. It sets a new standard for the genre.

The colorful hand-drawn graphics stand out versus almost any other game released on the XBLA.

The frenetic non-stop action means the game never bogs down. Our entire family had a blast from start to finish. My wife and I even went back for some of the more "completionist" challenges after finishing the storyline once.

The Behemoth (CC's developer) manages to infuse each of their games with quality humor even without the aid of text or voice acting.

It's one of the few "must buy" games on XBLA right now.
