*Castle Crashers* boasts an impressive array of 32 characters, each unlockable through various in-game challenges and optional DLCs. The best way to unlock them? Rally your friends and dive into the game's co-op mode, where teamwork can help you conquer the challenges ahead.

Remember, when playing in a co-op lobby, each player must select a unique character for the session. For instance, if one player chooses the Green Knight, no one else can. Characters are not transferable between profiles or players in a lobby; everyone needs to unlock their own set, though co-op play can make this journey more enjoyable.
