Watch 20 Minutes of Castle Crashers Dev's New Xbox One/PC Game

Check out the opening section of The Behemoth's Game 4.

21 Comments

The Behemoth, developer of Xbox Live Arcade classics like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers, has released more than 20 minutes of footage from its next title, currently known as Game 4.

If you want to avoid any spoilers, you should skip this footage. Thankfully, this comes from the first 20 minutes or so of the game, so it's not as spoiler-y as it could be. This is footage of the same demo seen at PAX East earlier this year, though certain elements have changed, and placeholder assets remain in place in some spots.

The video does a good job of both showing off the game's humor and the basics of its turn-based strategy gameplay. The Behemoth also goes into some detail on its blog about the changes it's made recently, like plumping up what were once "grossly dehydrated"-looking blueberries and improving the user interface.

Game 4 is in development for Xbox One and PC, but it does not yet have a release date. The Behemoth's most recent game was Xbox 360 and PC title BattleBlock Theater.

@Nurg0: It's amazing and from one of the best small developers ever that have literally never had a bad game.

I like how Behemoth has done a different genre for each of their games so far.
Alien Hominid is a side-scrolling shooter
Castle Crashers is a beat em up
Battleblock Theater was a puzzle platformer

@VoidBeyond: yeah, not many developers would do that nowadays. Seems like they are just trying to have fun and create whatever comes up in their mind.

I can't wait to get this. It looks fun. Behemoth has always made great games. I wish they would make a Castle Crashers 2 though.

Someone should give The Behemoth a shot a AAA title. Their games are always really creative and fun.

@packerfan7575: Nah, that would likely stifle their creativity.

The whole hex/turn-based aspect reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. That's a big plus in my book. Can't wait to get it!
