Unlock All Characters in Castle Crashers: A Guide
Dive into the whimsical world of *Castle Crashers*, where laughter and action collide in a delightful online co-op adventure. With a roster of 32 unique characters to unlock, each with their own flair and abilities, you're in for a treat. Whether you're tackling gameplay challenges or snagging optional DLCs, there's a character waiting to join your party. And the best part? Playing with friends in co-op mode not only makes the journey more enjoyable but also maximizes your chances of unlocking these quirky heroes.
Remember, in a co-op lobby, variety is key—each player must select a different character. No duplicates allowed, so if you're eyeing the Green Knight, your buddy will have to pick someone else. Characters are tied to individual profiles, so while you can't share them, you can still unlock them together in co-op. Let's explore how to add every character to your collection.
