Screenshot by The Escapist Castle Crashers offers a whopping 32 unique characters, each unlockable through various in-game challenges and optional DLCs. The game's co-op feature is your best bet for unlocking as many characters as possible with your friends.

It's important to note that in a co-op lobby, each player must select a different character for each playthrough. For instance, you can't have multiple Green Knights in one session. Characters are also not transferable between profiles or players within a lobby, so everyone needs to unlock them individually, but you can do this together in co-op mode.
