Castle Crashers features 32 playable characters, each unlocked through various gameplay challenges and optional DLC. Teaming up with friends in co-op mode is the fastest way to build your collection. Remember, each player in a co-op game must select a different character; you can't have multiple players as the Green Knight, for instance. Unlocks are also individual; you can't share characters across profiles or players.

Here's the complete character roster and how to get them:
