The iconic game featuring hack, slash, and smash gameplay is finally getting a DLC release after a massive wait of 16 years. Castle Crashers, which debuted on Xbox 360 via Xbox Arcade back in 2008 and was later ported to various other platforms, is scheduled to receive a DLC named Painter Boss Paradise that includes the much-awaited Steam Workshop functionality that will allow players to create/share their own skins, among others. But that’s not all. The DLC will also feature new player and weapon artwork for all official characters and a new character, Paint Junior. Well, as of now, the release date of the DLC hasn’t been made public yet, but its announcement has surely boosted the game’s popularity. This has led to new players as well as returning players trying out the game. But, in 2024, when the handheld craze is at its peak, it is obvious that players will be curious to know whether the game is supported by handhelds. That said, if you too are wondering whether Castle Crashers is compatible with the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, consider reading this guide for more details regarding the same.
The popularity of handhelds is unmatched in 2024. Back when the Steam Deck was released in 2022, not many thought that handheld devices would become so popular in such a short time, but fast forward to 2024, and almost every new game offers compatibility with such devices, either officially or unofficially. Among the variety of handhelds available, the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go stand out in terms of popularity. This is the reason why players often look for the compatibility details of a game for these devices. That said, let’s take a look at whether Castle Crashers is compatible with these handhelds.

Steam Deck
At first glance, one would think that a game that was released so long ago wouldn’t offer Steam Deck support. But, as surprising as it may sound, developers The Behemoth, made sure that the game ran well on the Deck, which is why it also received the official Deck Verified badge from Valve. So, yes, if you have a Steam Deck, you can indeed play Castle Crashers on it, but there are some issues. Despite the official Verified badge, don’t think that you won’t face any issues in-game. Player reports revealed that the game sometimes crashes abruptly, while for some, it often lags and experiences FPS drops. There are also reports stating that the game doesn’t recognize the Steam Deck controller. So, although you will easily get 60 FPS gameplay out of the Deck while playing the game, don’t expect an error-free experience.
Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go
Castle Crashers run pretty well on both the Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, considering that these handhelds have better hardware than the Deck, and run on Windows OS. Due to this, the in-game experience is quite smooth, and there is no room for compatibility issues either. But, again, controller-related issues might occur on these handhelds as well.
With that said, now you know all about the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go support details of Castle Crashers. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content on all things gaming-related.
