Castle Crashers for PS3

Remember someone mentioning an Xbox game being ported to the PS3?
I'm really excited about this, i've been waiting to play it for over a year!

If the link didn't work i've pasted the article in here:



Castle Crashers has been one of the bright lights on Xbox Live Arcade since it was released last August. The stylized side-scrolling brawler offered a winning mix of solid action, quirky charm, and four-player co-op play. Unfortunately, PlayStation 3 owners haven't been able to get in on the fun--until now. The Behemoth is taking the wraps off of Castle Crashers for the PlayStation 3 at Comic-Con today, and showing off the first playable version of the upcoming downloadable title. We paid the California-based developer a visit for a first look.

See Castle Crashers in action on the PS3 for the first time.

Flash Player 9 is required to watch this video.

For those of you who aren't already familiar with the game, Castle Crashers follows four knights as they head out to rescue their respective special ladies who've been princess-napped (a common problem in games). The road to rescue sends the knights up against hordes of enemies but, with teamwork, a little help from their animal friends, a variety of different weapons, magic, and some leveling up, a happy ending is guaranteed. The game takes a light action-RPG approach to the head busting by letting you earn experience and level different stats on your knight, such as strength, defense, agility, and magic. The end result on the Xbox 360 was a fun game that got even better when you played co-operatively with friends online. As a bonus, the Behemoth also included an arena to fight with friends and a food-gorging minigame.

Castle Crashers looks set to make a splash on PS3.

All of the above is on its way to the PlayStation 3, with the appropriate tweaks, such as trophy support, for Sony's platform. The Behemoth isn't offering much in terms of information on exclusive content for the PlayStation 3 game beyond saying that it's still to be determined. The air of mystery also extends to the game's release date, which the team is keeping quiet about for the moment. The best we could get out of them was that they're working to get the game out as soon as they can and that development is going well.

As far as how the PS3 game looks and plays, the demo that we checked out was already running well and certainly looked to be on par with the Xbox 360 game. The action is smooth and responsive, and the colorful visuals look as crisp as ever. From the look of things Castle Crashers should be a good addition to the PlayStation Network library. A straight port of the Xbox 360 game will be a lot of fun, but we're hopeful that the PS3 version might also benefit from some additional content. Look for more on Castle Crashers for the PlayStation 3 in the months to come.

And for those who are interested, Behemoth have also released info on their third game (http://comic-con.gamespot.com/story/6213850/the-behemoth-presents-game-3-first-look?tag=preview;title;next). 		2009-07-23 02:11:00

Castle Crashers is a side-scrolling, beat-em-up which incorporates a small number of role-playing game elements.

So basically it's like streets of rage. With leveling up.		2009-07-23 03:40:00

Great stuff! I'm really excited about this game, and I would be for Braid too.
Still I think that the major announcement is still for Mass Effect.
And if SixthAxxis doesn't confirm this game as the reveal, we have another game to wait.

I think this IS the major announcement

It is one of the bestselling XBLA games, and i think it has a good 10+ hours worth of content

Never played it though so i can't say for sure 		2009-07-23 07:29:00

This is an awesome, addictive little game on Xbox live!!
I already have it on my 360 but I'm glad the PS3 audience can enjoy this one as well in the future.

The king & lollipop were dlc for the 360 version, this might come standard with the PS3 version.		2009-07-23 08:14:00

I have it on XBox. To tell the truth, I got bored of it in 2 months.

By then, I had already beaten it four times by myself and twice with freinds. It's only fun to play with 3 freinds. Even then, the fun isn't that long lasting ...		2009-07-23 09:32:00

Behemoth are a really small team, i'd like to imagine that they put some effort into making the ps3 version slightly better than the original

They're the type of people that like to improve on what they've done whenever they can, but i guess they also need to be careful that they don't make Xbox fanboys rage at them for giving us better stuff.

Oh and i've heard why it wasn't released to begin with over on Newgrounds! Apparently Sony turned down the idea of a flash-like game because they said it didn't show off their consoles power :/
But seems they've changed their mind now they've seen how successful it was on the Xbox 		2009-07-23 11:31:00

Behemoth was formed from NEWGROUNDS. I don't see why they wouldn't be popular.2009-07-23 19:09:00

I've heard amazing things about this game, but I've never seen it in action or anything. That said, I'll likely pick it up, or maybe a demo if they release one... Good stuff, man.2009-07-23 19:25:00

AWESOME.

You guys are so lucky, the best Beat 'em up I've played.

Maybe it will have ALL of the DLC? Like Bomberman Ultra?

Lol, All my characters are level 99... I wonder how it will be.		2009-07-23 20:13:00

As a dlc, perhaps.		2009-07-23 20:21:00

Yeah but a collection of minigames with toro is being localized, so eh, maybe soon, we'll be enjoying more toro?

Here's one site mentioning it.

Sorry to break it to you, but Sony has made it mandatory that all new games have trophies in them. So there is a 100% chance that there will be trophies in this game.		2009-07-23 21:19:00

Hm, I have this on the Xbox and loved it, I'll definitely get it again! So who wants to join me? I want to make a group to start with! Hopefully the exploit is still in the game, as leveling up after a while is a PAIN! 2009-07-24 00:46:00

The exploit is gone, via patch, while you can still clear your cache and do it, but... Since the PS3 is newer, I doubt there will be the exploit, Not even the Sandworm one... 		2009-07-24 00:51:00

I'll join in too, since I know how awful leveling up can be (99 in KH II, took me a whopping 256 HOURS), and that I KNOW I'll be getting this game.		2009-07-24 22:02:00

Yup. Prepare to buy a lot of Health potions and die alot in one hit.

Oh, and have fun in the desert! Hahah...

But on a serious note, you're gonna die a lot.


A LOT.

SERIOUSLY.

I'm sorry. I just remembered the pain... the suffering....All those deaths...
It makes me wanna play again. It's a real challenge to me. I managed to beat it about 4 times... Too bad I don't have XBL... 		2009-07-25 06:12:00
