Released in (in North America) and November 2013 (in Europe), Castle Crashers on the PlayStation Vita was more than just a cash-in port. It was a technical marvel that asked a simple question: Can you fit four-player, chaotic co-op into the palm of your hand?
In the pantheon of modern beat-‘em-ups, few titles shine as brightly as The Behemoth’s 2008 classic, Castle Crashers . Its perfect cocktail of hack-and-slash combat, raunchy humor, RPG lite elements, and a phenomenal soundtrack by Waterflame made it a staple of the Xbox Live Arcade renaissance.
7.5/10 “A perfect portable conversion hampered only by the ghost of its missing online mode.”
However, the Vita version is the . It is a time capsule of a brief moment when Sony tried to merge console-quality indie games with true portability. If you find a physical copy (published by Namco Bandai in Europe, rare in the US), it’s a prized collector’s item.
