*Castle Crashers* boasts an impressive roster of 32 characters, each unlockable through various in-game challenges and optional downloadable content (DLCs). The key to unlocking as many characters as possible? Team up with friends using the game's co-op feature. Remember, in a co-op lobby, each player needs to select a different character for each playthrough. For instance, only one player can be the Green Knight at a time. Characters are not shareable across profiles or between players in a lobby, so everyone must unlock them individually, though this can be done in a co-op setting.

Below, you'll find a detailed rundown of every character in *Castle Crashers* and the steps to unlock them.
