Castle Crashers is a ridiculously fun online co-op game boasting a roster of dozens of unique and quirky characters. Want to collect them all? This guide shows you how to unlock every character in Castle Crashers.
Castle Crashers features a whopping 32 playable characters, each unlocked through various gameplay challenges and optional DLC. Playing co-op with friends is the most efficient way to unlock a large number of characters quickly. Remember, in co-op, each player must select a different character. You can't have two players as the Green Knight, for instance, and characters aren't shared between profiles or players within a single session. Each player unlocks characters individually, even while playing together.
Here's the complete list of Castle Crashers characters and how to unlock them:
