With a whopping 32 characters to unlock, Castle Crashers offers a variety of methods, from conquering challenging gameplay to purchasing optional DLC. Team up with friends for the best chance to unlock as many characters as possible! Remember, in co-op, each player needs a unique character. You can't have two Green Knights, for instance. Characters are also profile-specific; you can't share unlocked characters between profiles or players within a single session. Each player unlocks characters individually, even while playing cooperatively.

Here’s the complete list of Castle Crashers characters and how to get them:
