Despite its tiny size, Castle Crashers was an important play in the economy of the Xbox Live Arcade and a bit ‘for the entire Xbox 360. He left in the summer of 2008, during the first and historic Summer of Arcade that brought on digital delivery service other Microsoft pearls as Braid and Geometry Wars second, effectively sanctioning the distinct evolution of the digital market and indie (or semi-indie) on Xbox 360 and consoles in general, with Castle Crashers leading the charge of new games “light” as a quality alternative to traditional retail landscape. 
This is the weight of the title The Behemoth in memory of those who bought at launch: not a product refined and complex, on the contrary seemed to scream in the face of the player in the nature of production budget, with its appearance of flash game who remembered well the background of the developers in fields such as alternative fiercely Newgrounds. The simplicity of the design crude had a force almost iconoclastic against cliché-scrolling action, but the mechanics of the game, conversely, was particularly strong and traditionalist , designed to capture the player far beyond the short session that the appearance of mini-game flash seemed to inspire. Shot history is needed to understand the importance of Castle Crashers in the console view, because the richness and variety of the current indie market the explosive force of the game The Behemoth, at this point, has been largely lost and who found in front for the first time in this game could consider it just another action game from 2D hand-drawn graphics and nostalgic style. A little ‘is so in effect, but it is not difficult to see in this title something particularly vivid and substantial.
Something classic
Castle Crashers Remastered is a side-scrolling action game in the style of old-school brawler, where we face different levels alone or in the company of three friends in cooperative mode (regarding the Campaign Main) essentially hitting out against everything that moves on the screen, advancing to the scenarios and occasionally confronting boss that offer game situations really special. The story sees a group of knights (or one, if you play solo) jump to the rescue of kidnapped princesses and a war-torn kingdom within a setting that is a kind of caricature of the classic screwball fantasy. Nothing really new, then, but a resumption of mechanical issues and historical video game arcade with elementary additions ruolistiche customization and evolution of the characters but all characterized by an excellent balance in the rhythms, and the variation in the density of the fighting, not succeeding in easy task to be more challenging and a little monotonous, despite the inherent repetition of the same actions. 
The crazy and humorous situations when it finds itself in fact play a very good role of change but also the mechanics of the fighting to balance the action, forcing to alternate strategies of attack and defense as a result of a good deal of enemies resulting in different characteristics and different patterns of attack. It is clear that it is still pressing buttons in rapid succession, trying to make combos and alternating defense, light and powerful attacks with weapons and magic rather than reflect on what to do, considering that sometimes the large amount of people and events on screen tends to make it a little ‘confusing the action, in some cases covering the protagonist and making it difficult to read events. To appreciate Castle Crashers is therefore necessary to have in the ropes a bit ‘of nostalgia for the healthy-scrolling beat’ em up of yesteryear. The presence of a real progression of the fighters, with the possibility of distribute experience points on traditional parameters (strength, magic, defense, dexterity) and unlock increasingly powerful weapons and comrades still it represents an important element in a position to give more depth to the structure of pure-scrolling action.
Review
The reworking graphics made with this Remastered is not the most obvious to be honest, mainly because of the graphic style adopted from the beginning by The Behemoth and characteristic of the productions of the team, as we will analyze later. So it is not the technical aspect the quid that gives meaning to the comeback of this game. 
In fact, its presence is justified mainly by the basic validity of a game that relies on structural elements from everlasting value with regard to video games, which make Castle Crashers practically always appreciable. From the point of view of content to the proposal of the team it is very honest, offering all the original content more further additions of characters and equipment originally released DLC in a package that looks now more comprehensive and balanced than before. In addition to classic Country, climbed in single or multiplayer cooperative, returns the Arena which provides the ability to vary the action focusing on pure combat against a continuing wave of opponents to progressive difficulty, ideal for testing weapons, earn money and do a bit ‘of experience points. The only real news is how “Back, Barbarians!”, So strange as to leave initially banned. It is to move the character in an arena divided into square boxes, with each key that corresponds to the displacement of a box in the four possible directions. The purpose is to resist as long as possible without being touched by the enemies that, gradually, they are placed on increasing number within the level, trying to move as fast as possible from side to side. You play a very elementary but manages, somehow, to keep us glued to the controller rather to try to improve the endurance times, once in the mechanism.
Goals Xbox One
12 goals for a total of 1000 points show a fairly compact distribution of the rewards for Castle Crashers Remastered. In fact, it seems that the team has simply transferred the same pattern of achievement in the original version, but this time with a tally of 1000 points instead of 200. Therefore, the objectives of before now are much richer and unlock especially advancing Country and in obtaining special performance levels.
Pulled polished
The clean and simple design, in line with the classic trait of productions designed to the Flash platform, makes it less obvious gain Definition 1080p made on this remastered edition, although the developers have changed the asset resolution textures using four times the original ones. 
so stylized graphics on the other hand is outside of any historical context and it is also understandable that The Behemoth has decided not to meddle with the whole imaginary studied for Castle Crashers to forcibly insert additional graphics to justify a technological evolution of which the game has not essentially need. Ben most important and sensitive is instead the increase of fluidity general that brings the game at 60 frames per second, an element which in an action game of this shape is pleasant and effective also in terms of playability. The graphic layout deliberately simple, almost crude in several respects, is in fact closely inherent to the experience of Castle Crashers but remains the idea that the team has carried out a very minimal effort to revive their greatest success on Xbox One, whereas The official price is then 14.99 EUR, excluding favorable conditions offered to holders of the original who could download the free Remastered until 20 September and at the reduced price of 4.99 euro later. Always good and ready response to the commands, which together with the increase in frame rate makes it even more enjoyable action, while there were no significant changes in the audio industry that remains the usual crowds accompanying worthy of the setting.
