I had a hunch this would be an unlock key but held out hope because it was behemoth... Guess I was wrong.

I don't get it, because they are behemoth you can only expect the worst
but hey!!!! while online play was broken for 5 months they at least posted pics of Castle Crashers swag!!!!! how cool was that?

The fact that it's an unlock key probably means that if your friend or someone else online does not have the pack they can still see you using it visually.
Sucks that it's just a 108kb key though, I tend not to buy them because it doesn't feel right paying to unlock something already in the game like that.

I've seen it in action. The King's spell effect is very different from the usual spells, and the weapons are powerful. The golden sword can be used by Level 1s, and dishes out something like 11 or 12 HP damage a hit even at those levels. I started a low level online game with a few random people, one of which who had it and couldn't stop raving about how much damage it did. (The game eventually started lagging worse and worse during the deer-riding chase until it kicked at least me back to the title screen. We didn't know each other, so we didn't make any real effort to rejoin the same game.)
They've also made it so people can't trade the King's scepter anymore, you have to buy it as DLC to use it now. Same with the new lollipop and golden sword.
The seal randomly freezes foes, and I think spits snowballs sometimes? That's what I remember the person saying about it anyway.

So this was wtf they were working no instead of a patch?
Ah, fuck off. I'll probably never buy this game now. That's just plain fucking wrong.
Fake Edit: I know the patch was out first, but considering how long it took for the patch to get certified, this DLC must have been at least parallel developed. It's still just plain wrong.
Real Edit: It's an unlock key? Get the fuck out Behemoth. Get the fuck out. :lol

So I finally picked this up and played a few levels with the King, that fucking Monster Sword, and Pelty!
Totally rad. Hopefully the heal magic does more as it levels up because +2 ain't gonna cut it against the fucking Sock Monster. The monster sword is ludicrously powerful, as is the Lolly (Magic +6) and the sceptre ain't too bad either.
It's pretty amazing how after starting up runs with like seven characters, just going through even the beginning stages is still fun. It's still as fun the four hundreth time as it was the first to X-Surf a dude from side of the screen to the other. This game is really phenomenally fun to play.

I don't know much about the Xbox 360 patch process, but is it possible that this is similar to how some PS3 games handle DLC? Maybe the patch contained the data and the DLC was just the unlock key for the data contained in the patch. I know Hot Shots Golf has patches that contain the DLC, but if you want to use it you have to buy it. That way when you play online against people who bought the DLC you can still see the special characters.

360 autoupdates only update the executable code, anything else would require an addon pack.Stormwatch said:

I'm thinking it's an unlock code because this content was included with the patch so that when you play multiplayer with someone who doesn't have it, they would still be able to see it.
edit: sorry didn't see this post. Well then...
I'm still kind of pissed that they (I'm sure Microsoft had more to do with it than Behemoth) had the nerve to charge for this. I'm sure there are a good amount of people who were soured on this game due to it's glitches, so releasing this as a "sorry" to the patrons would have gone over a lot better and probably got more people to come back to play multiplayer.
This game WAS 1200 points, plus the fact that this insignificant content pack is 160 points... which is going to leave you with 40 points if you buy a 1400 point card in canada... or 240 points with the 1600 point cards... just enough for a theme or something. Who are they fooling with this shit?

I really wouldn't call it insignificant. Just because they're drawn like cartoons doesn't make two different characters, one with an entirely different magic loadout, and three weapons with completely different stat buffs AND a new Animal Orb that can be used offensively. (I'm guessing Openfaced Knight is just a skin of the old Knight but he might have new magic as well [but I doubt it]) for like $2?

Online still doesn't work for me. The game keeps saying to check my NAT settings.

It is essentially $1.50. I think that sounds about right for what is being offered.
