So it seems that the Chainsaw/Necromancer DLC promised ages ago is finally near release.
Anyone still playing this game?
Source: http://devblog.thebehemoth.com/?p=1639While you crafty peoples have already figured most of this out through various leaks, here at last confirmed are the details of the fearsome and fabulous… Necromantic Pack DLC for Castle Crashers!
It will include:
Two new Characters!
The Necromancer (who’s magic is pure awesome) and The Cult Minion
A new Animal Orb
Dragonhead will bring the heat!
Two new Weapons!
The NG Skull Mace and yes, …the damn Chainsaw.
No word yet on the release date or price, and once again, this is completely up to Microsoft. But I can leave you with a tantalizing.. SOON.
We will post the date as soon as we find out!

Supposedly the Necromancer has really good magic of some kind, and I imagine the new pet is just the fire equivalent of the ice pet the King Pack came with.
I wonder if either of these guys will start with the Rubber-Handled Sword (aka Bloodstained Sword)? As it is now, you can only get that sword by having someone who already has it give it to you online. They'll probably just start with the weapons they normally drop though.
Yeah that sucked man, although it mostly worked over here until the US woke up and got online each evening...
Never actually played this in multiplayer because it was broken for months and by the time it had been fixed I'd moved on and so had most other people. Chances of my buying anything made by them again is pretty slim.
Also the Dev Team for Castle Crashers is 7 people. No joke. That's the entire company. I'd say "Glacial Time" is better than none at all.
I guess you conveniently forgot that the online was a piece of shit with connection issues. Also stuff with savegames disapearing.
Other than that, great game. I really wanted to like it, it just made it so hard.
This DLC should come with a coupon for a free blowjob or something, as an apology for the trouble.
Like I said, early evening here (in the UK) it worked fine, had plenty of two player games, and up to four players on several occasions, even in the early days.
However, once the US came online, en masse, later on in the evening, it went to Hell in a handbasket pretty quickly, became impossible to keep a game going without everyone Crashing out.
amen!!!
Lost all my shit thanks to that. Glad I paid extra to LIVE for that special feature.
I'm pretty interested in this just because the necromancer is cool
No shit? That's pretty cool. It really should only be $2 at the most, though.
80 points is one dollar.
Guess what 80 * 2 is?
Shush, give him some time.
How much is the basic CC these days? I played it when it just came out on a friend's console, but I never bought it on my own.?
Has been since the last thread
I thought 40 was? Whoops.
Well...
*downloads add-ons*
Yeah, it does. Me and Imperious played through several characters together post-patch. Even had a couple of full games with Brainiac 8 as well.
$2 sounds reasonable.

For some reason when I go to Games Marketplace on my 360, I get an error. I bought them through the website, went to my active downloads on my 360 and they were there. Meh.
edit: So, I have decided not to play Batman today. Castle Crashers before work. Yay. Necromancer's magic is skelleton hands out of the ground. Oh, and I am using the chainsawwwwww. Vrrmrmm vrrmmmm.
