Castle Crashers is a ridiculously fun online co-op game boasting a huge roster of unique characters. Want to collect them all? This guide shows you how to unlock every single one!
With 32 wacky characters to unlock, Castle Crashers offers a variety of challenges and optional DLC to expand your playable lineup. Playing co-op with friends is the fastest way to unlock a large portion of the roster.
Remember: in co-op, each player needs a unique character. You can't have two Green Knights, for example. Characters are also account-specific; you can't share unlocked characters between profiles or players. Everyone needs to unlock their own, but you can certainly do it together!
Here's the complete list of characters and how to get them:
