There are those games I fondly remember from my school days, and then there are those games I remember being a problem from my school days. Castle Crashers, first released on the Xbox 360 in August 2008, was nearly one of the latter. It took over my college apartment for at least a month, with three or four of us constantly playing and replaying the cartoony co-op beat 'em up to grind XP and level up all of our characters enough to tackle its ludicrous Insane difficulty mode. If it hadn't come out so early in the semester, we probably would've had a real bad time with midterms.
I am now 37 years old, haven't played Castle Crashers in ages, and so closely associate it with that specific time in my life that I don't know how to process the following information: 17 years later, there is new Castle Crashers DLC. This update didn't actually come out of nowhere—the indie team at The Behemoth actually announced it , but you can't expect my brain to remember things that happened a year ago; it ran out of space back in 2008 after permanently filing the Castle Crashers deer .

So it's a huge rework of the classic art (which you can toggle back on if you want), adds the ability to easily import your own goofy creations into the game, and includes a new character who attacks in a sort of "drawn to life" school notebook style? That seems pretty rad to me for a 17-year-old rummy royal game, though I would've loved to see a new stage added to the map, too.
If you were perhaps wondering if people still care about Castle Crashers, may I present to you the of some 8,000 files, all of which have been added in the last 24 hours. Current trending character mods include , , and , the description for which
is simply "I'll put some ranch on that."
I'm suddenly feeling like Castle Crashers might become a problem again. Truly one of the sickest games of all time, and I'm not just saying that because it now has a bottle of ranch in it.
