Ready to assemble the ultimate team in the hilariously chaotic world of Castle Crashers? This guide reveals how to unlock every single one of the game's 32 unique characters. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a fresh recruit, mastering this character roster is key to conquering the game's challenges. The best way to unlock a wide variety of characters is to utilize the game's co-op mode with friends. Remember, each player in a co-op session needs to select a different character. You can't share characters across profiles or have multiple players using the same character. Each player earns their characters individually, even while playing cooperatively.
