Unlock Every Character in Castle Crashers: A Comprehensive Guide
Castle Crashers, the riotously fun online co-op game, boasts a diverse roster of playable characters. This guide details how to add every single one to your collection. Playing cooperatively with friends is the most efficient method for unlocking the maximum number of characters.
Remember: in co-op mode, each player must select a unique character. Duplicates aren't allowed. Characters are also profile-specific; unlocks aren't shared across profiles or players within a session. Each player needs to unlock characters individually, though cooperative play significantly speeds up the process.
