The Behemoth announces Castle Crashers sale on XBLA

Indie developer The Behemoth has announced that their best-selling Xbox Live Arcade game Castle Crashers will be on sale from right now through to the 21st May. The game will be half price, costing 600 Microsoft Points ($7.50 USD).

According to the dev, "As you know, all lifeless, severed barbarian heads are only worth about 600 MS points on the black market, so that’s how much we’ll be charging for a copy of Castle Crashers from now through Monday, May 21st. Not a bad deal when you consider you’re getting the FULL game… that’s much better than only a portion of a barbarian corpse."

The sale is somewhat of a surprise as it was not mentioned in Major Nelson's weekly content update.
