Castle Crashers: 40 weapon unlocks and a periwinkle knight

by Dustin Burg { Mar 22nd 2008 at 11:45AM }

The Castle Crashers news keeps on flowing from The Behemoth's recently launched dev blog with news of weapon count and another playable character getting the "big reveal" treatment.

Today, we learn that Castle Crashers will feature 40 (count 'em), 40 different unlockable weapons to dish out the pwnage and can be discovered via a shop purchase, in hidden treasure chests, buried underground and bosses will even give up their weaponry. Not only will Castle Crashers be overflowing with weapons galore, we also get a first glimpse at another playable character (seen above) and even though it doesn't have an official name (The Behemoth admits they hate naming things) we're going with "periwinkle knight". And yes, he is holding a blue lightsaber.

I swear to god you better buy this damn game when it comes out!? You know who you are.....you're the one that posts things like "Oooh Hexic 2, I've been waiting for that one" on various message boards. Stop it, save your fuckin money for a real XBLA titles like Castle Crashers.

I wonder if we can expect other characters from Newgrounds that the Behemonth were involved with. Alien Hominid, Dan 'n Me, or some other characters these guys have been involved with.

Granted, it would probably end up taking away some of the focus from the weapons/magic/beat 'em up nature of the game, but with 22 character slots I think they could show one or two. Newgrounds Rumble made it work thought, so it could work in theory.

I'll be happy either way, as long as the game comes out.
