About the Characters

Castle Crashers boasts 32 distinct characters, each with their own quirks and abilities. Some characters are available from the start, while others require specific achievements or purchases. Playing with friends via the co-op feature is the fastest way to unlock multiple characters simultaneously.

Important Note: In a co-op lobby, each player must select a unique character for every playthrough. Characters cannot be shared between players or profiles, so everyone will need to unlock their own roster.
