Back Off Barbarian
Jump. Dart. Move and groove to the music. Whatever you do, just stay away from the enemies!
 
Back Off Barbarian is a simple but addicting mini-game where players move quickly using the D-Pad to avoid the enemies. As time passes, more enemies are added into the level and the players will find it harder to get around in the environment. Up to 4 players can be supported online or offline. Back Off Barbarian will only be available on the Remastered edition of Castle Crashers.
 
Castle Crashers Remastered for Xbox One is currently in development and is expected to release later this summer! More info to come.
 
Note: Steam users will also get a chance to experience the remastered version in the future. The development of the Steam update will begin later this year.

Developing for different platforms is like growing apples and oranges. We’ve already come out with oranges and bananas, but what we’ve heard from many of you is that you want the apples too. So, for you apple consumers, we’ve got good news for you:
 
We will be updating BattleBlock Theater Steam to include Mac OS! Current players will also be able to play from Windows or Linux and move their game copy over to Mac thanks to Steam Play. As long as you own a copy of BattleBlock Theater Steam, you’ll be able to play on any of the three Steam platforms.
 
You can purchase the game on Steam at any point and the Mac version will become available once our update goes live later this month! It will be compatible with all versions of Mac OS X 10.7 and above.
