Castle Crashers is an upcoming console video game independently developed by The Behemoth. Originally announced in 2005 (as the codename "Ye Olde Sidescroller" or "The Behemoth's Next Game") and again announced by The Behemoth during Comic-Con 2006 (as Castle Crashers), the game will be available for download with the Xbox Live Arcade service during the first quarter of 2007. As of now, the release date is set to February 17, 2007.
This is the follow-up to The Behemoth's first title "Alien Hominid," which derived its gaming style after the Metal Slug games. Castle Crashers seems to be inspired by such sidescrollers incorporating z-axis movement as Golden Axe and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade games.
