And still they never fixed the weird GPU-specific graphics bug that baked into saves and prevented me from playing. Wonder if I could get this turd polished under Linux.
Meanwhile Battleblock Theater and Castle Crashers are still receiving updates 10 years later. Goes to show how far a game can go if you put a little effort into it.
Castle Crashers my beloved! Those games, plus games like No Man’s Sky still receiving free updates 9 years later. Made by real humans with no shareholders to please who are passionate about the games they create.
It would have been garbage. Either they would have had to severely restrict the player in absurd ways to make sure that no one played the game “wrong,” and then posted edgy youtubes about it. Or they would have had to narrow the scope and strip so much context that it would be basically impossible to tell it was supposed to be the American civil war, other then seeing some union flag props around.
Given how tedious the American Revolution one was, essentially running on rails with your character inserted into key episodes, the Civil War episode would have sucked. Presumably you’d have been riding shotgun with Harriett Tubman and/or General Sherman in a succession of semi-interactive cut scenes, repeating until you shot/stabbed enough confederate NPCs to be rewarded with possibly a short break of open-world exploring as a treat.
