We used to be enemies. We used to destroy the world around us. Now, we create!

Bring your custom characters to life in Castle Crashers with the Painter Boss Paradise DLC! Create your own knights and share them on the Steam Workshop, or play as our new official character, Paint Junior! Coming this summer to Steam!

DLC Features:

• Make your own custom characters with our template, and share them with the world! CREATE!
• New official character: play as Paint Junior, use your imagination, and unleash powerful art to vanquish your foes!
• New art for all official playable characters and weapons!
• New main menu art with eight scenes celebrating the world of Castle Crashers!
• New map art for fancier adventuring!
• Endless knightly possibilities – choose from community characters or preloaded characters created by our team! Toggle them off or on at your whim!

Worried about missing the nostalgic feel of the original game's art? Have no fear, as you can toggle the DLC functionality on or off from the main menu at any time and experience the classic adventure!

Who had this on their 2025 bingo card?

Wait, an update for an old game?

Where's adamsapple to complain about milking it?

Man this developer (The Behemoth) is one of those ones that had a really great run during the first indie explosion and XBLA days with a bunch of cool games, but looking at them recently I'm not sure how they're still around. Their last original release was Pit People in 2018, just a bunch of remasters and re-releases since then (with nothing truly new announced on the horizon either). I don't think people are rushing out to grab Castle Crashers DLC in 2025.

I did, because they announced this a year ago, and said it was coming in summer in like February

Just in time for MechaHitler!

call me when they release an update to add a coat of paint before the primer in the chronological order.

So only very specific type of updates are "milking" games, not all. Good to know, maybe you should make a helpful chart.

This is the game that both saved and ruined modern beat'em ups

The way back machine to the days of XB360 Live Arcade.
Those games could fit on the memory cards.

No need for a chart. It's easy to determine if an entry in any IP is being milked repeatedly for 5 years.

 

[struggler_guts]

Oh weird, its just like updated art and custom characters. No new levels or anything like that?

 

[Skifi28]

Yeah, free updates will also do that. Apparently not all though.

I guess not, I'll leave it to you to determine which. Feel free not to tag me if more games do this.

No promises, tagging you is always the highlight of my day.

Castle Crashers is still the best beatemup I've ever played. It's been absurdly cheap forever too.

They came out with an Alien Hominid sequel and a mobile/Steam game based on their logo, so not entirely true. But I agree with the general sentiment. One of my favorite devs from the 360 era, but they take so long to release games and they really haven't had a hit since BattleBlock Theater.
