In the golden era of indie games and smaller projects flourishing on digital platforms, Castle Crashers was one of the biggest games of its time. First released in the summer of 2008, the hand-drawn 2D hack-and-slash brawler was a love letter to the timeless simplicity of moving right and beating up bad guys with a few friends. Castle Crashers was a reminder that smaller games could still pack a punch at a time when most developers were aiming for the stars with big-budget productions.
Some 17 years after its release, Castle Crashers is adding the perfect excuse to return to this indie hit with a few friends: an all-new expansion called Painter Boss Paradise adds new characters, updated art assets across the entire game, and a robust custom character creator for endless replayability. And it's all available now on Steam,for the price of a cup of coffee.
