Castle Crashers reached one million players today

by Majed Athab { Jun 22nd 2009 at 6:00PM }

The developers of Castle Crashers must have been ecstatic when its XBLA baby grew to house over 900,000 users last month, but this probably doesn't compare to the excitement felt today. At 12:57pm, The Behemoth diligently verified via its Leaderboard numbers that its behemoth of a game has broken the seven-digit barrier, becoming host to exactly 1 million players.

Castle Crashers has reached this momentous milestone rather quickly, having been out on the market for only 10 months (hey, that's an average of 100,000 new players a month) and to celebrate, The Behemoth gave away a set of uber-fantastic stuff. If you signed up previously, you could've won a bag of prizes which included a custom Castle Crashers Xbox 360 Elite. Congrats to whoever won, and to The Behemoth!

I hope they release the Necromancer pack soon. It's been almost a year, and I want to play with that Chainsaw.

Have you ever not cared so much about something you decided to comment on it?

After having all my characters, weapons, stats erased numerous times for no reason, this game is officially dead to me. =P

F U Behemoth for wasting my time!!

ampMOD @ Jun 22nd 2009 9:44PM

I hear ya! Same thing happened to me. It was a really fun game that I enjoyed until all my weapons and animals disappeared. Fuck Castle Crashers.

whylekat @ Jun 22nd 2009 9:46PM

yep happened to me twice and I stupidly started to repeat the long boring process of getting all that stuff back.. after the 3rd time I said DONE FOR GOOD!!!

F' Behemoth, those jerks.

As a PS3 gamer I can honestly say...I'm quite jealous of this game...luck 360 owners...here's hoping their next game is multiplat!

Maybe I should boot the game back up some time, or will, after so many updates, I *still* lose all my save game data every time I exit out of it. :P

now... if only the game wasn't so DAMN LAGGY THAT IT MAKES MY BRAIN BLEED when played online with other people, this might actually be something to write home about..

I had less lag in GoW2 with the same players. WTF...

And, as much as I did seriously love this game, being able to sleep-walk through with a jump-and-attack flake move ruined a lot of its awesomeness...
