Yeah it leaves open the possibility for a sequel. Alien hominid got one, and castle crashers was their most successful series. So there's no reason not to have a sequel, only time will tell.

I wonder if the Necromancer needing to die again could be the plotline for the potential Castle Crashers 2? He's died once, realises he no longer has a spare life, wants to solve that by killing or resurrecting (or both) enormous numbers of people all at the same time to "block the pipes" leading to and from the afterlife, or create a rift between parallel worlds where he can somehow steal the lives of his own alternate selves, and in doing so gain extra resurrections for his minions too, exponentially increasing his power?
I honestly love the Crystal being the source of the colored knights powers. since it's a higher order of knights, there's also the chance there might be multiple Red Knights, Blue Knights, etcetera; but considering the Blacksmith is a Purple Knight, I'm actually iffy on that.
Blacksmith gets purple because he made it himself is my idea. Considering all the magic and the *best Level 1 and Level 5 weapon* is directly blacksmith related.
@@CR1MSONACE his DLC description describes him as a retired knight of legend, so it's not impossible he just made the armor himself. but the Crystal is the source of the knight's magic, so if a knight has magic, it likely came from the Crystal.
You can see what the Dragon during the undead Cyclops bossfight is the same dragon because the room contains a giant sock, which was used by the Dragon as a puppet.
This is so cool! I saw the interview, but it’s great to see this as a completely organized video! All this stuff really makes it seam like there needs to be a sequel, but someone did say they might make a Castle Crashers 2 mod. Very happy you got to talk to Dan!
idea, what if the reason monsters only exist in pit people, because they were hunted in the time of castle crashers, and they're free after the bear hit the world, which would explain why there's nothing in alien hominid, and battle block theater
I always believed Castle Crashers took place after Pit People, and the monsters in Castle Crashers are just evolved versions of the monsters created by the bear blood in Pit People
I played this back when I was younger with my brother. Seeing a lot of these questions answered that we used to argue about is wonderful. Thank you for doing this!
Jeez hearing the old voice right before his current feels so strange, It makes me feel like he wasn't used to youtube and didn't really talk with like the, idk how to describe it best.
I didn't comment this on the dan answers the questions video before, so sorry if someone already said this or it's confirmed: If Dan said that the necromancer might return, that implies that Castle Crashers 2, or a another alien hminid at the same time, might be coming out one day
I’ve had castle Crashers in my steam acc for the longest time, and while scrolling threw CZcams I stumbled upon your video about the behemoth timeline, and you made me actually beat the game!!! I just got my first 30 hours on it now, playing with the bear character and levelling him up currently. I’m just so surprised you don’t have more subscribers.😮❤
One of my favorite mysteries or easter eggs in the game is the multiple paintings of the 4th princess during the Painter fight. Each one shows her on the ground with a sword in her chest and, upon bringing her back to the castle, its revealed she's a funny dancing clown. Always thought of it as the Painter (or someone else) killing the princess, Painter paints a clown copy to fool us
An also mystery is that when your fighting the The colt minions You can see Dead bodies With Swords from the gray knights so were thoughts gray knight that became red, orange, green, and blue that failed in there mission and you are the new magic knights.
I ain't gonna lie.. the way you can create content on one subject and make it compelling is inspiring. I'm always astonished by it. Great stuff. BTW have you ever look into the games blackmoor and maximus 2? They're mobile games but they remind very much of castle crashers... especially maximus 2
Man this game and new ground in general being such a big part of my childhood and teen years. I'm so happy to see so much love for it still. Another awesome video dude
This reminds me of a theory i had about the potential origins of the main four knights. My idea is that each of the characters that you unlock by playing each knight is a piece of their backstory. For example, the orange knights unlockable characters are fire demon, and ninja. So you reverse the order of the characters and we get maybe a potential story? My idea is that the Orange knight was once a Pirate ninja who got lost and ended up in lava world, was maybe learned some fire stuff from the demons? And was later made into the orange knight via the white crystal. Due to his connection with the demons. You could change the story around and apply this idea to the other to three knights but in the end it probably is not canon but its a cool idea.
It's nice having a game dev that gives satisfying answers instead of the bog standard leaving it up to player interpretation or just giving coy non answers like sometimes people just want to know.
Alright, mystery number 5. What if the evil wizard was the original king of your castle. He was not a very good king, so the king we know today over threw him and killed him. Then, the necromancer the wizard back to life and the wizard tries to take his revenge.
You forgot pink knight when talking about the crystal, she has an elemental power, she just hasn't mastered it, being the newest of the main knights, that's why she has no elemental infusion, and why her heavy magic costs so much mana, she was just recently upgraded from a grey knight
Hi Reckerless this video is amazingly organized! I didn't watch the full interview but did you guys ever talk about the pink night and/or the blacksmith?
It would be cool for if there was a castle crashers 2 for necromancer being villain for half while then another version of the Evil Wizard (Likely a cult minion) then tries to manipulate the necromancer who then realises this and teams up with you. And for those who wouldn’t believe a cult minion wouldn’t do this, a fat kid from alien hominid became the literal commander of the fbi in alien hominid invasion. And alien hominid was made by the same creators as castle crashers.
The crystal also proves how all the enemies got their magic, most notably characters like the industrialist, icekimo, or even the bears. They got their magic from the evil crystal.
Some of these things are implying the possibility of a castle crashers 2, but haven't they confirmed this won't happen? And with that, then why does some of this stuff matter? Like a cool possibility of a bossfight with necromancer, when they aren't making another game.
Castle Crashers is the only game I own, but didn't buy, a good friend actually bought the game, and gave it to me as a gift on Steam, we spent an entire summer playing the game, great times😀😀😀
it be cool to see them go back to Castle Crashers and do 1 of 2 thing or maybe both even if its unlikely 1 they remaster Castle crashes , as in updated graphics fix any characters or weapons, Levels and cutscenes an Music 2 they could do A Castle Crashers 2 kind of like how Madness did project nexus still a side scroll but in 3D
Theory, insane mode is just castle crashers two let me explain, so the necromancer has to life’s and when he revives enemy’s they come back stronger, so the necromancer came back stronger during insane mode reviving the enemy’s and making them stronger, this would also explain why the shops have different weapons and pets and why some enemies/bosses are now stronger with new attacks and drops, this also explains why we still don’t have a castle crashers 2 is this a valid theory?
What about the enemies in the necromancer fight? That means they would have been revived 3 or 4 times breaking the rule of only being able to be revived twice.
Just a thought, do the enemies get their power from the crystal , or did they just have the powers? (Like did the fire demons just always have fire magic or did they need the power from the crystal too?)
i do believe the fire demons got their abilities from themselves, since they literally appear in a place full of lava, and maybe if the fire demons got their power from the crystal, they would probably have the same magic as the orange knight (which is kinda different)
Here's a mystery I always had: What are the food's theming in Lava World? We have a hard boiled egg, A hamburger, a box of fries, and a blueberry. Other places that have unique food like snow world or the church make sense: Sweets for a wedding. Spearmint and peppermint for the snow world typical for holidays. The only theming I have is most of the foods are associated with America, blueberries from America, Fries and Burgers are common and so on. But it just seems random otherwise.
I agree but there were some factors which made it not as obvious, one being the sock puppet (during the fight in lava world) would retreat after the dragon died, suggesting the puppet could be a different dragon (I talk about it more in the iceberg video)
I think we kill necromancer for both the first and second time. It's not a requirement, but after you complete the game on normal, you play insane mode and unlock the necromancer as a playable character. Then when YOU die while playing the necromancer character, that's his second death. Don't you think if his whole thing was dying twice, then you would have two lives while playing him? This means he's on his second life while you play him.
they should add no armor snakeys (or just no helmet), conehead and cylinderhead skeletons as enemies and playable chars in next game and they could add text chat asap :
I somehow already knew that the necromancer was still alive cause he just flied away up instead of dying, so i was supposing that he could be inmortal, but not the dying twice him, i love how the necromancer's character is developed xd, and about the crystal, i love the fact that the knights where gray knights before, if it wasnt for the crystal, it was going to be hard to being a veteran knight like the castle crashers, idk how to explain that but its just impressive xD
I wonder who will spot my mouse pointer in the video 🙃🫠

mystery number one: why half the characters have arrow rain

"We were lazy and didn't think anyone would want to play Stove Face or Cone Head" I bet the answer would be something like that

I hire you.
I honestly love the Crystal being the source of the colored knights powers.
since it's a higher order of knights, there's also the chance there might be multiple Red Knights, Blue Knights, etcetera; but considering the Blacksmith is a Purple Knight, I'm actually iffy on that.
Blacksmith gets purple because he made it himself is my idea. Considering all the magic and the *best Level 1 and Level 5 weapon* is directly blacksmith related.
@@CR1MSONACE his DLC description describes him as a retired knight of legend, so it's not impossible he just made the armor himself.
but the Crystal is the source of the knight's magic, so if a knight has magic, it likely came from the Crystal.
I’m guessing each knight gets their own power
"If a character dies off screen there is a possibility that they didn't actually die"
That can happen on screen too
yes
Its more likely when off screen
what does possibility mean to you?
example: ULTRAKILL
@@mrgiftedstubbornbee dude, let v2 go, he's actually dead

If necromancer is alive it would be awesome if he came back if they made a castle crashers 2 as the main villain
We were gonna make it a disco ball xD
The crystal being the thing that gives powers to all of the knights would actually make a lot of sense
That actually makes sense why you can play as the necromancer now... Cause hes not dead...
Have no clue why he joins you tho-
So the orange princess was indeed killed? The necromancer can revive her and she may be the new villain because was forgotten.
bro is gonna pop of if castle crashers 2 comes out

Imagine if CC 2 is just the same game because Necromancer just revived everyone you killed
