Castle Crashers supports cooperative gameplay for up to four players, either locally or online. Arena stages can be unlocked where the player character can take on challenges to unlock additional characters such as the villager. The map also displays shops where the player character can buy items and weapons using coins gained from defeated foes, bosses, and chests. After completing a stage, the player has the choice to revisit it or to move to another stage. After selecting a character, the player then selects a starting stage through an overworld map.
