There are a variety of unlockable, playable characters in Castle Crashers. So far, it seems as though all the characters do exactly the same thing with different visuals. Is this true? Do any of the characters do anything unique (e.g., different stat bonuses or powers) to affect their battle performance?
Are all unlockable characters functionally identical reskins

No, they are not. There are a few different things that make most of the characters play different (except from the arrow magic/bomb magic ones).
Take the starters for example:
The
green knight
does a backflip when you do his TT/YY* combo. Also can poison enemies.The
red knight
has a magic that you can hold down and it also stuns the enemy. This is good when you fight in arena.The
blue knight
can freeze the enemy which kind of stuns them. It also has a great SSST,XXXY* combo that can be used infinitely.The
orange knight
can put an enemy on fire. A couple of enemies are resistant to fire which makes lava world a lot more difficult.The
saracen
and thebear
have a very different magic set.The both do a whirlwind on their T/Y* magic. The saracen also has a windblow which is totally useless IMO. But the whirlwind becomes more powerful with a hidden move. Press the jump+jump combo before you do the whirlwind and you are resistant to most of the enemies' magic.
The
industrialist
andfencer
have a saw blade that destroys bosses in no-time making this character a favorite for many people.The
king
can heal comrades with his T/Y* magic making this a good choice for a 4-player game.A few other things:
