Castle Crashers: Stolen Sun

Castle Crashers: Stolen Sun sends an elemental knight through a kingdom that has lost its daylight. This 2D fantasy brawler combines fights with movement, optional paths and environmental interactions. Reaching an exit can require dealing with guards and operating red levers, so look at the surroundings as well as the enemies.

Use attacks and movement together

Move with WASD or the arrow keys. J or the left mouse button performs strikes and combos, while K or the right mouse button uses a skill. Space jumps. Esc or P opens options, and M controls muting. The touch layout provides movement, Jump, Skill and Strike buttons.

Read the route before charging ahead

Identify a nearby enemy, a lever or a safe route and make that your immediate goal. Separate a missed attack from a missed jump when deciding what to change. As the adventure progresses, salvage and equipment improvements add another reason to inspect the paths you find.

For a separate action game involving weapons and enemies, Stickman Archero Fight provides a different setting. Neither game's controls or progression should be assumed to carry over to the other.
