Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Sick, I can't wait to replay Castle Crashers with the boys, featuring Hatsune Miku, the Lethal Company employee, Jesus Christ himself, and a bottle of ranch.

Haha I just got my kids into castle crashers after looking through my library for 2+ player games.

Awesome that the devs are still doing stuff with it.

Check out Boomerang Fu, Wizards of Legend 2, and Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime. I used to host game nights and those were the most fun. WoL 2 is arguably not as good as the 1st one, but I think it's more accessible. Most of these games have kid friendly graphics as well.

Thanks, I'll check those out

Always a good day to pick Castle Crashers back up

Has Castle Crashers been getting updates this whole time? Or is this an "out of nowhere" thing? Either way, great!

Also, between this and a new Super Meat Boy coming out, Newgrounds is having a moment right now.

They announced the DLC a bit over a year ago now, but it came completely out of nowhere when they did. There was the occasional small bug fix every few years, but the game hadn't seen a real update in a long time.
