*Castle Crashers* offers a rich variety of characters, unlockable through gameplay challenges and optional DLCs. Leveraging the game's co-op feature to play with friends not only boosts the fun but also maximizes your chances of unlocking these characters. Remember, in a co-op lobby, each player must choose a different character for each playthrough, and characters cannot be shared across profiles or between players.
