Released in 2012, Castle Crashers is an action adventure game built by The Behemoth. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. Cloud saves are enabled. Steam lists support for 11 languages. It carries 12 achievements. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. With more than 108 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.
