Dive into the whimsical world of *Castle Crashers*, a delightfully entertaining online co-op game that boasts an impressive lineup of 32 unique characters. Unlocking all of them can significantly enhance your gaming experience, and we've got the ultimate guide to help you do just that. Whether you're tackling gameplay challenges or exploring optional DLCs, using the game's co-op feature with friends is the key to unlocking as many characters as possible.

Remember, in a co-op lobby, each player must select a different character for each playthrough. For instance, if one player chooses the Green Knight, no one else can use that character during the same session. Characters are not shareable across profiles or between players in a lobby; each player needs to unlock them individually, though this can be done in a co-op setting.
