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
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.
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 🤟🏼❤️
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.
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.
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
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.
9:50 Actually Dan Palladin dropped some lore in one of it's last reviews and said that the crystal blesses grey knights with powers and then they become.... well.... "higher rank" kinght just like blue knight, red knight, green knight and orange knight. The crystal also keeps balance and harmony to the knigdom or something like that? I think he wasn't shure himeself how it used to be.
Quick Correction - Animal orbs aren't locked behind a level barrier with the exception of the Beholder. The key blade is required to unlock the door it's hidden behind and you have to be level 20 to wield it. 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.
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.
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 ☠️
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!!
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
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.
I’m fairly young, and my brother bought it for me and me him and my sister were all playing it and I’m in love (also it cane out on literally the day I was born)
"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
My favourite game of all time. And I’d say I’m pretty good at it. I have the old one and the Remastered, and my Green Knight (who I always start with) is my most powerful knight.
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: th-cam.com/video/tFAuZsBsj6s/w-d-xo.html (Also blue night is best)
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.
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.
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! ❤️
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.
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
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.
To be honest I have always loved castle crashers but finally in 2019 my mom bought it for me but in 2022 she died and this is all I have left to remember her by
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.
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
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
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!

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

It's CRIMINAL that we never got more Castle Crashers.

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 😔
glad to see that someone remembers this game, back then this was my favorite game and still is today
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 🤟🏼❤️
This peak can NOT be forgotten
And behold in the year 2024 Behemoth would go 'lol, lmao' and announce dlc/content for most of their games including Castle Crashers.

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.
"and there goes the sock puppet, never to be addressed again"
check the Cyclops rematch, the dragons skeleton is there along with the sock
I loved this game so much that I beat it on both Xbox and PC
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 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
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
Crazy quality for a smaller channel glad this blew up for you
BattleBlock Theater is easily the most underrated game
ON GOD BRO
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.
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 ❤️
This was the best childhood game I ever played
This game was never forgotten and it just got a dlc i am not joking
I started to play this game after literal DECADES, it's my new favorite game after 12 years

8:03 totally agree, the best music that i've ever lisend
7:53 so glad you mentioned this masterpiece
The difference between the cult member and the cult leader is that the cult leader has ears
i like how he used simple sight/piercing laser/necromancer theme for the music i think its the best song out of the ost
this video supplied me with a healthy amount of sizable chuckles. i appreciate it.
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.
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
i cant stress how important it is to have volume on, the soundtrack on this game is so insane
The max agility arrow comparison to an assault rifle is so spot on hilarious
The aliens were actually a reference to their first game ever, which is "Alien Hominid".
