Sega's Crazy Taxi is an arcade driving classic. It introduced the concept of picking up fares in a taxi and then delivering them to a destination at a breakneck pace. A few games have been inspired by Crazy Taxi, the most interesting of which has to be the upcoming Castle Cab from new indie Australian developer Royal Reign Studios. Not only does Castle Cab take place in a fun medieval setting, it will also feature 4-player split-screen co-op.
In Castle Cab, players control an intelligent horse that operates a delivery service in a medieval kingdom. There's a story involving overthrowing an evil king and lots of quests to complete. Players can customize their horses with a variety of colors and hats, and the game offers both cooperative and competitive split-screen modes for up to four players.
Official co-op description:
Join forces with up to 3 other players to navigate the bustling medieval world as a team. Work together to pick up patrons, deliver them (hopefully in one piece), and overcome outrageous obstacles. Collaboration is key—but so is laughing at your friends’ spectacular fails as carts flip, horses stumble, and chaos unfolds.
Castle Cab is due out on Switch and Steam sometime this year. We're looking forward to taking it for a ride!
