Fun and chaotic
Lots of fun, but expect death, consistently.

Cuphead
Description
Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.
Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or local co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets while you try to pay your debt back to the devil!

5/5 stars
A potent cocktail of authentic 1930s aesthetics, jazzy tunes, ingenious boss designs, and gameplay founded on the fundamentals inherent to the best 2D shooters. Cuphead sure is swell.

8.8/10
Cuphead made me feel more good and more bad than any other game I've played in the last several years. I swore, laughed, and hollered with delight. I hated it (and my own fingers) for long stretches but, having finished, I realise that's more or less the point – I emerged from all that pain smiling. Rather than simply offering the player what they want, Cuphead makes them earn that right – the rewards, if you can hack the tests, are absolutely worth it. Cuphead is incredible for more than just its looks. But before you dive in, make sure you actually want a game that plays like this, and not just a game that looks like this.

More shooter than jump'n'run
Cuphead ImageIt's a fine enough game. I was hoping the developers would have put more emphasis on actual platforming. This game is more related to a shooter like Contra rather than a jump'n'run game. It consists mainly of Boss Fights, and the emphasis is on memorization of enemy patterns and basically trial & error. It's very old school, and by that I don't mean by design but how unforgiving and how little lives you have. I don't know if it's really for casual players, maybe for those who will find the art style entertaining enough to sustain them till the end. But if you strip the game down to it's bones, it's just a mediocre shooter with amazing visuals.

Phenomenal Game
Just a warning for anyone who wants to play this game: This. Game. Is. HARD! It has made me rage more times than I can count (until I got fairly good at it), but I keep coming back for more. Why? Good graphics Super responsive controls Excellent music (I love ragtime!) Great art style Technically a boss rush (give or take a few levels) And most of all, the satisfaction that I get when I finally get past a level that had me really struggling. If you want to have a fun time, definitely pick this game up, but be prepared for a really hard slog! I only have one problem with the game, and that's the fact that I got it on Steam, but I can't get it at a discount here, which is essentially forcing me to pay double the price to play it offline. REALLY?!
