I'm excited as hell for this game and want to share my enthusiasm with you!
Castle Crashers (created by Behemoth, creators of Alien Hominid) is a side scrolling beat-em up game coming to Xbox Live Arcade on August 27th, for the price of 1200 MS bucks ($15).
Game play summary from Wikipedia
Quote:
The game is a sidescrolling beat-em-up in which up to 4 players can play, online or locally. Playing as one of the available knights, players must defeat enemies to progress using attacks and magic. As enemies are defeated, the characters level up, giving access to new combos and abilities. There are also weapons that can be found and used, and well as animal orbs that assist the players in various ways, such as scouting for items. At the end of a boss battle, players then fight each other in a battle to earn a kiss from the rescued princess.
Other modes include Arena, where players fight each other, and a mini-game called All You Can Quaff.
