Castle Crashers Living Up To Its Name

By Joe Haygood | August 27, 2008

Castle Crashers has been awash in all kinds of hype and furor, first over its gameplay, and then after the type showed it listed at $22.50 to purchase the game.

Now it is awash in more grumbling, but this time from players around the web, including some of the fortunate (or not so fortunate) at Destructoid who found their 360’s dropping them out of multiplayer Castle Crashers games, and shortly thereafter the game would just bomb on its own.

Castle Crashers developer The Behemoth, has acknowledged the issues with the online play, putting up the cartoon to the left on their devblog.  No word on when the fixes will be uploaded, but not a good start for a game that was already enveloped in controversy from the beginning.  Also not good for Microsoft, which seems to want to bump the default price of an XBLA game to 1200 points.
