Castle Crashers King Pack available now

The bad news: There is no new Xbox Live Arcade release this week (we do get something next week, though). The good news: There is new downloadable content for Castle Crashers and it's only 160 Microsoft Points. The description for the content in Marketplace is shamefully sparse but, thankfully, The Behemoth has already detailed exactly what the pack contains. So without further ado, the King Pack includes the following:

2 new playable characters: The King (duh) and the Open Faced Gray Knight (not to be confused with an open faced club sandwich)
New Pelter animal orb (which appears to be a seal, cute)
3 new weapons: NG Lollipop, NG Gold Sword and the King's Mace

You can see some of the new content in our super secret spy pic above. The King is a special character, as his magic actually heals himself and the other players, which is unique among the various magics in the game. He also only has three teeth, which also makes him special.

Well, looks like the addon content doesn't even add new achievements. I don't think i'll be dropping 160ms points just for new characters. Not played CC since its been patched but honestly, they could have given this for free to apologise for the extremely long wait for the patch and yes, i realise they are a small development time but i don't think that excuses the problems.

Even though...
Microsoft sets the price for DLC.
Microsoft only allows small developers to make one Huge lengthy patch instead of faster small patches.
Microsoft keeps the developers and gamers in the dark while the patch is in certification.
AND

Microsoft "tested/certified" this game for 3 + months before it came out.

no new achievements = no buy

I count 6 teeth.

I'll pass on this, CC was too frustrating for me. I actually found it harder than Alien Hominid.

Yeah, six teeth.

I loved this game! New cheevos would have been awesome, I'm not sure I want new characters though... since there are a ton in the original game that have yet to be unlocked.

I hope they have some DLC that adds new levels!

Healing power... interesting.
It's only 2 bucks maybe I'll bite after all.

If this game's multi-player didn't suck ass the first 3 months it was out I might consider it, but after playing it for a week w/ shitty multi-player bugs I'll pass, even if they fixed them...

Yeah, it's a shame that CC came out so borked. The lack of being able to play more than maybe 1 level without dropping back to the title screen left my friends and I with no desire to ever pick up the game again.

I think they'll need to add new areas to make people interested again.

I love me some CC. Do these weapons/animal orbs unlock automatically or do we have to hunt them down? What does the seal do? Probably won't replace my trusty 'bird who gets fruit' animal.

It shoots snowballs at enemies.

talk about shitty DLC.

fuck these guys.

all ready got it last night... but darn, i thought we were getting a chainsaw.

If it came with new achievements I'd be all over this. Still... the price is low enough for me to want it.

All they would have had to do was add one achievement and this thing probably would have sold like hot-cakes. As it stands, how many people have even half of the current characters unlocked?

Maybe quite a few, but if they've got all characters so far - these two won't tide that player over for long.

I love Castle Crashers and applaud any content patch or additional-- but this is rather sparse.

Anyone else notice? The DLC is 108 kb. You remember what that means?

All of this content was already in the game. The game shipped with it. WE PAID FOR IT ALREADY! And now they're making me pay for content that they finished before they shipped the game and that they included with the game. This download is nothing but an unlock code. Sounds like a rip-off to me. Unfortunately, I only noticed the file size after I started downloading it. I was quite incensed, as you can imagine.

What does the "NG" in those weapons stand for? What is an NG lollipop, and how does it differ from an ordinary lollipop?

Newgrounds

you guys here are really gay.it costs only 2 fucking dollars!Are you so fucking poor you can't afford the equivelant of 4 candy bars?shit i downloaded it and it was fucking awesome!the sword and lollipop have awesome stats and new characters .The orb is useless however but still!you guys can afford 10 bucks but not 2?you are possibly the cheapest pieces of trash i have ever seen.you guys all smell considerably awkard you fucking obtuse retards!

ok mastur cheef.

lolololololololol.

srsly.

Maybe when MS drops the price of this game to 800 ms points then this DLC will be FREE like it should have been... charging to unlock content already in a game is craptastic! Way to go Behemoth!

Oh really you people are annoying u whine about how bad behemoth is and that they should have made it free but its all MS' doing and second of all i dont think MS is too fond of making more acheivements for XBLA games.

And one last thing @CounchPotato99
This game wasnt shipped to us :P
