The spiritual successor to Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, has gone live on XBLA today for 1200 MS Points (around £10).

Hand drawn with a unique art style and utterly insane (just like AH), Castle Crashers promising feature list includes "magic, mayhem, floating face-biting bat buddies and fish-swords.

"Castle Crashers (rated T for Teen) features a unique mix of beat-em-up action along with mild RPG elements letting you hack, slash and smash your way to victory," explains the release.

AH was tough so we wouldn't be surprised if this is a total ball buster too. And if you're truly mental (or just well 'ard) it also features an Insane Mode, unlocked when you finish the regular mode.

There's also four-player deathmatches in there, online play, and the option to turn off the blood if you're pansy (or have strict parents).

Here, have some screens (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?mode=article&id=203566). Then get on it.

I hear the online is pretty sloppy right now, hopefully its just a first day overload.

Either way I am still looking forward to purchasing this awesome game :)
