Bosses exist within their own boss levels on the overworld map, which means you choose which bosses you want to fight and when you want to fight them. Cuphead‘s gameplay revolves largely around two very specific concepts: boss battles and platforming.īoss battles do the brunt of the heavy lifting in Cuphead. One of the many bosses you will fight in Cuphead.Īs Cuphead is a videogame and not say a Studio Ghibli movie, there has to be more then simply beautiful visuals and eargasmic sounds to the experience thankfully there is. Turns out the game is actually really fun which is nice. I could easily recommend Cuphead from both a visual and audio position alone, but we also get gameplay alongside this beautiful game. From the title screen to the various boss battles, the team over at MDHR meticulously designed each interaction to tantalize the ears. Each track fits in perfectly with what you see on screen. There’s interesting levels crazy background and foreground animations and crazy character designs which create a feast for thine eyes.Ĭomplementing the visuals is an equally crafted OST of barbershop quartets, big band, and instrumentals. Everything in the visuals department is so well crafted. The visuals in Cuphead are all masterfully crafted with colors popping off the screen. There is nothing on the market that even compares to the intricacies in design from both a visual and sound perspective. The detail in many of the worlds and scenes is actually mind blowing.Ĭuphead is one of the best looking, and unique game’s of the year (maybe even decade). This type of trial and error may not be for everyone, but I enjoy banging my head against the proverbial wall to then finally breakthrough to the other side. By the end of the game, I was able to go back to World 1 and fight bosses easily. The more I learned, the better I became in Cuphead. My death may have been because I was a touch slow here, or forgot an attack pattern there. Never did I feel like the game cheated me, but instead failures were simply my fault. I’ve seen people compare Cuphead to “ Dark Souls“, but I would argue Cuphead is far more akin to 80s and 90s gaming where difficulty was just part of the gaming experience.Ĭuphead‘s balance of difficulty and control is masterfully done. With that being said, Cuphead is not 30 minutes struggling with the tutorials hard, but rather an interesting mix of periods of struggle and success. In Cuphead, you will die over and over again. Cuphead I died 488 times… In The End is Nigh I died 5,000 times.
