    Awesome game. The game's theme is sensacional. Animated cartoon from the 30's. I was wondering the hardwork from the developers to put these cartoons full of life inside the game. Grade 10 to the designers too.

    Jogability: For me is perfect. Remembered me a lot the age of the 16-bits games.

    Soundtrack: Amazing, perfect reproduction of old music. it seems to listen on vinyl old pick up with good music.

    Dificullty: I am playing just only in the 'regular' difficulty and the challenge that game provide is supreme.

    Congrats to the developers once more, they deservers all the rewards they won for the game.

    Demanding old school game.

    His graphic is dedicated to the cartoons of Max Fleischer, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks of the 30s accompanied with a good soundtrack of blues music.

    Even if you die a thousand times it will not tire you, it is highly additive.

    Instant classic! I love a good platformer and this is an excellent one at that. The challenge is crazy, especially when you have OCD like myself and want to 100% every level and that includes not getting hit. The presentation is wonderful to look at as well which is a testament to the developers because we all know how much goes into animating.

    If it hadn't been for BotW this would have been my favourite game of the year. That's crazy to say with oddyssey in there as well. 2017 was the best year I can remember since... I don't even know, 2007 probably.

    Cuphead brings a new experience we're not used to see in platform games. In fact, I don't know if it's correct to include this game in that genre. In this case, boss battles are the main course of the game instead of current levels, which are called run' gun.

    The artistic design is what makes this game so special. Everything in the game is vintage, from the characters to the graphics; and we'll never get tired of it. However, what also stands out is the difficulty of this title, which is high and challenging.
    All the bosses are really worked out and each of them have its own personality and a different ways to defeat them. We'll feel like we're facing a brand new challenge every time we face a new one, so the game is far away from being repetitive.
    What is a bit disappointing are the run' gun levels, which are very little. It's a pity because they had a great potential and were really fun. I'd have definitivelywanted many more. Most of the abilities you can exchange for coins in the game shop are not useful at all. In addition, the only ones that really worth it are available almost from the beginning.
    Cuphead is an indie game with the quality of a AAA. Which is something that has a lot of value taking into account the budget these usually have. So I'd widely recommend this game for every platforming lover who wants something different from what we're used to see.    … Expand

    This game has a great soundtrack, a nice classic cartoony feel to the game, and doesn't have a steep learning curve. It tests your reaction time and your ability to adapt to unfamiliar situations, because no two bosses are the same, and each boss has several stages to them.

    This game is not impossibly hard like the other games these days that try to copy the Dark Souls formula, but it is definitely not a walk in the park. Prepare to get frustrated, and take breaks when you do.

    Overall, this game is not intended for the faint of heart. If you have poor reaction time, maybe you should watch others play it instead. I'm only in my 20s writing this review, and I feel like I can't keep track of everything that's going on. It is very overwhelming. I actually gave up and quit halfway because I got tired of having to try so hard. But I still enjoyed the game a lot before I did.

    If you're not the kind of person who likes bruteforcing hard bosses over and over for hours, you might want to consider passing on this game.    … Expand

The gameplay itself is something like Metal Slug style where it can also be played from 2 simultaneously.
    It was not long before the news came that this game is very difficult, with this in mind and after seeing some videos of the people suffering, I called my brother to help me on this journey, we started to play and really the game was very difficult, but someday my brother told me that he read somewhere that the game was even harder when playing 2, the lives of bosses and other enemies doubled, which would be fair since it has 2 guys shooting at the same time without stopping, well ... more or less fair, the truth is that about half of the game I started a new version alone and the game is extremely more easy to play, some enemies die with 1 simple shot, and the same enemies that die so were not dying with 2 shots when we were playing 2 ... how to understand this math? For me the game sins in this question where playing with a friend should facilitate things rather than hinder them, except that some areas were totally designated for 1 player, where 2 players can mess up a lot to each other, well we still end this game playing together.

    Apart from this detail, the game is very cool, it has several interesting power ups that help a lot, and although it is a game with an above average difficulty, it is not a game so revolting and impossible to pass, if you learn a lot as you try , the stages last for a maximum of 3 minutes and after they pass they do not have to worry anymore, there is no Game Over that forces you to start all over again like in Battletoads & Double Dragon for example.
    The game was a well deserved sales success, and now I'm looking forward to a sequel, I hope they put more stages to pass, because in this are very few, most are just bosses, I believe the series has a great future ahead .    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cuphead is a very hard well made development for 3 (Or More Than 3) Years.
    Story:
    Story is about cuphead and mugman getting to casino even althought uncle warned to not get in. Having a win strike devil appeared, offering if they would win they will take all money, however if they lose devil will take the souls. Mugman knew that it was too risky to do that but Cuphead cared about money. They lost and forced to take the souls. However they would want to do anything to him to keep their souls. Devil gave them a job to get every souls that has been assigned for 1 day. This is where all began.
    Gameplay:
    The gameplay is simple, there are at least 2 run a gun level at 3 world. All other levels are bosses. The character have 3 health (4 or 5 incase of upgradment) if they run out of health they die. If all of them dies (Or Solo Player Dies) its start from begging. The default controlls aren't very good. I do prefer use controller since its easier to master at steering. The game is about learning the mistakes. Its a hard game because it wants you to learn about mistakes. Lets just say that you died on phase 3 on Goopy Le Grande because you didn't knew attacks. And now you know what he does on phase 3 and its easier to beat. However there are bugs like locked game after dying (The game continiues without enabling to pause and forcing to press alt+f4), the bosses freezing after doing something (Making boss very easier). There are found on twitch livestreams on speedrun or normal ones. Music is amazing they were done very well.
    Graphics:
    Graphics is well made with animation with 60 Frames. It takes art direction from '20 Disney Cartoons. Drawing,color,effect are amazing. Its like playing a very harded working game for 8 year.
    Results:
    Cuphead is a amazing game. Might be GOTY but of course there will be other games that somehow will dominate this game. However because of Glitches the game might get 10/10. However 9 score from glitches is fair. Well done Studio MDHR!

Amazing art style paired with fairly tight controls as far as gamepads go makes for a really fun experience. 10/10 really don't see anyway it could have been better(besides being longer) and there was only 1 boss with frustrating RNG.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excelente ambientación, y trabajo artístico, recordándome a los viejos dibujos animados que miraba de pequeño (Looney Toons, Merry Melodies, Disney de 1930), música y efectos de sonido geniales, y más, en el famoso "modo vintage" (desbloqueable jugando en modo "pacifista, o sea, pasar los niveles Run n' Gun sin matar a ningún enemigo) que le da más emoción. Una historia genial, y una jugabilidad muy bien pulida, y acorde a los viejos juegos de las consolas de los 80/90. En el apartado artístico, han pulido bastante bien los detalles (hasta la pantalla de carga te saca unas cuantas sonrisas, el relojito de arena que baila me pareció algo surrealista y genial) Las críticas negativas que se le da en Steam, es por la dificultad del juego, que, en mi experiencia como jugador (llevo 25 años jugando videojuegos) está bien hecha, ya que es a base de tener buenos reflejos, seguir patrones de ataque y movimiento, y reaccionar en el momento justo, tal como aquellos plataformeros desde los juegos de Mario y Sonic, y si perdemos, es por nuestros errores. Deja ver que hoy en día, todo el mundo (o la gran mayoría) quiere los juegos mascaditos, y que están acostumbrados a pagar y a tanto DLC. Aquí no es el caso, ya que todo se desbloquea jugando, y el modo de dos jugadores (que es local cooperativo), la opción de "resucitar" a tu amigo, me pareció genial! Los únicos puntos negativos que le puedo ver son que le falta un modo versus de dos jugadores, al estilo del clásico Mario Bros (no el Super Mario), y que el juego está únicamente en inglés. Pero, al ser de un estudio independiente, es normal que no las tenga, en el futuro las agregarán. Fuera de esto, el juego cumple con todo desde el minuto 1, le estoy dedicando un buen tiempo, y si lo paso, lo jugaré de nuevo, como siempre lo hago con los clásicos de toda la vida. Muchos dicen que en ciertos juegos que salen buggeados, y con errores, uno los critica, porque "no son lo suyo", sin más razones. Yo aquí puedo decir que si los plataformeros en 2D al estilo de los Contra, Ghosts and Goblins, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, etc., no son lo tuyo, este juego no es para tí, a pesar de todo su apartado artístico/musical. Es un juego que requiere concentración y pensar bien cómo moverte, bien al estilo de aquellos juegos. Yo puedo decir que me la estoy pasando bien!!… Expand

Cuphead also allows an in game store using currency in the form of gold coins. Whats nice is that these coins are earned through run and gun games and don't take complete grinding to receive. It's just no that kind of game. Overall, gameplay wise, cuphead feels very original and intriguing

    -Premises-
    Cuphead has one of if not the most original setting and premises I have ever come to know. The plot (Cuphead and his brother mugman lost a deal with the devil at his casino and must retrieve the contracts from his debtors to save themselves) also feels generally original. I mean we just don't get this vintage 30s cartoon idea to often. Its just nice to have a game so original and intriguing

    -Beautiful Art-
    With handrawn art in the form of 30s cartoons, you know your in for the ride of your life. Everything about cuphead is amazing. The 2d art style is beautiful. While the characters themselves are drawn in such buety its no compare to the watercolor backgrounds. These backgrounds are so mystifying and beautiful its scary.

    -Amazing Soundtrack-
    Cuphead provides us with a legendary soundtrack. First, for the games boss battles and run and guns we have hardcore true jazz. The main menu provides us with a sort of accepella feel, as it is sung. Other themes sung include Mr. King Dice's theme. Finally, cuphead is split into worlds. Its also worth noting that each world in cuphead has its own buetifully performed theme.

    Well Priced
    Cupheads an indie game. You pay for what you get. It's not overly expense, and includes really what the game is worth for the completion time and gameplay.

    -Cons-

    *Note*
    While Cuphead is kind of lacking in many cons it's only fair to list the few that exist.

    -Glitches-
    While the new Patch may have fixed most glitches, some still remain such as a softlock (Yes I know the patch fixed one of the soft locks but either way some glitch still exists)

    -VERY difficult-
    I'm not being a stickler, but it's worth noting that Cuphead is very difficult. This isn't exactly a con, it's a con in some ways but also a pro in the way that cuphead is still fun to play and rewarding because of its pros

    -Sort of Short-
    Considering it takes a bazillion tries for me to beat one boss, cuphead doesn't pass to quickly for me, but for some (more talented) players, it takes a shorter amount of time. Either way I think three worlds and a final boss fight is well within the acceptable range of material.

    I can just say, it is a HELLA AMAZING game, in every way... Artistically, especially. I recommend it to every person who looks for a different experience. With Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the best game of the year, and probably of this decade, this far.

    Cuphead offers a unique combination of art and sound, presenting one of the most funny and bizarre shows in the current game generation. Its gameplay and co-op can hold many fun hours and a strong replay-ability attribute. Despite the salt that can be involved during the gameplay I had a smile on my face the whole time through it all. Recommended for everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely beautiful in style and game play. It's so addicting and amazing. The story is just like the old 1930's style of stories. There is nothing bad about it that I can say other than that it's very hard. Which is not a complaint in my opinion because it's not frustrating. It is very fun and the music is fantastic. The things that really shine are the boss battles, but the run n gun levels are good too. There's so much creativity thrown around everywhere in this game. I would've said its glitched, but they fixed almost all of the problems I have on the glitches in the new patch. The controls are very easy to play with. i don't really understand why anyone would hate this game. It's a solid 10/10 from me.… Expand

    You know how a joke can start funny, get annoying, then become funny again through sheer attrition? That’s Cuphead’s approach to enjoyment. With a beautiful, caustic, near-unceasing stream of boss battles, Studio MDHR’s debut made me scream with joy and horror by turn, but I settled on joy by the end.

That’s Cuphead’s approach to enjoyment. With a beautiful, caustic, near-unceasing stream of boss battles, Studio MDHR’s debut made me scream with joy and horror by turn, but I settled on joy by the end.

    The most obvious point to begin with is that Cuphead looks astonishing. Its 1930s animation style – all watercolour backgrounds and surreal, juddering, hand-drawn characters – pay peerless homage to Max Fleischer and his ilk, and are perfectly implemented. Somehow it manages to balance dozens of moving elements and a slight rear-projection blur without ever feeling unreadable in even the most frantic moments. There has never been a game that looks like this and there may never be again. Every scene is a masterwork – it’s a near-unbelievable achievement for an art style.

    The sound work is an ideal match: a huge jumble of high-tempo ragtime, swing, big band, and jazz (the list of musicians is almost as long as the rest of the credits combined) pummels away wonderfully in the background of every fight. It makes Cuphead feel truly out of time, and its bizarre mix of ‘30s aesthetics and ‘80s design more heady than ever. I also feel duty-bound to point out that the way Porkrind the shopkeeper bellows “welcome” made me laugh every single time I heard it.
    There’s no doubt that it’s gorgeous, and many people will be drawn to that, but that veneer conceals a very niche, hardcore design. You may have gleaned by now that this game is really, really hard. It’s absolutely uncompromising in its difficulty from the outset. No level includes checkpoints and, barring one late-game match-up, there is no way to regain lost health. You could hit levels that take hours to beat, and the finale is locked off until you beat every other level on “Regular” difficulty (i.e. extremely difficult). And don’t think that local co-op will ease things up – dropping in a second player as Cuphead’s pal Mugman makes events onscreen that much harder to follow. I find it actively harder with a second player, if anything.

    And so, as I played I gradually stopped noticing a lot of the glorious art, because actually interacting with Cuphead is so hectic, so stressful, that it just gets filed away by my right-brain as a distraction. That skyscraper-tall robot firing laser barriers is just three hovering hitboxes and a series of no-go zones. When one boxing glove-wearing frog eats another to turn itself into an evil slot machine, that’s nothing more than a phase change. My favourite boss design – a giant bird wearing cuckoo clock armour and its tiny, ray gun-wielding chick – fires wads of garbage at you by literally turning its head into a bin, but I only noticed that detail when I watched someone else play it hours later.

    Perhaps Cuphead’s smartest, most devilish addition is in how all these types of levels taunt you into playing more. No enemy has a health bar, nor an indication for when you’re getting close to a knockout – instead, when you die you’re shown a graph of how close you were to the KO or the next phase of the battle. It reduces screen clutter while also encouraging (or perhaps that should be “berating”) you into taking another crack at it.

    Cuphead is as tough as it is beautiful, Cuphead won't be to everyone's tastes, but there's absolutely no doubting its quality.    … Expand

    Going for a 1920s cartoon style makes Cuphead stand out from any game today and very pleasent to look at, the music is also inspired from that time period making everything blend, and it is so good which is required since every boss has his own music, I never got tired of any of them, even dyng a lot on expert.
    The only thing to mention is, the game is very difficult. This is one of those games, like Dark Souls, you will die a lot, recognise patterns and try again, every time getting closer and closer to beating the stage. I did not find this game to be too difficult, there are 3 difficulty settings Simple(Medium), Regular(Hard) and Expert(Frustratingly hard), although to advance in the game it is required to beat the stages in Regular.
    I recommend playing with a friend, since both of you will die a lot this will make Cuphead a very funny experience.    … Expand

It has a well, unique, and developed story, the characters are really likable, and it not being able to reference alcohol and drugs is a well risk, the game is rather better the way it's now, and this game is good on its own, it was made to be that, so complaining for a sequel, not going to happen

Cuphead has this wonderful sense of scale, you know you are just a small character going up against these enormous bosses but you still do it anyway. The difficulty provided by the bosses could leave anyone crying, especially that stupid dragon ( I want to kill that dragon), but the sense of achievement given when defeating even the easy bosses is as good as beating some games in there entirety. Overall the game controls greatly which you would hope for in a game as difficult as this, but if you are playing PC I highly recommend a controller. The music is razor tight always providing a great sense of atmosphere and just being generally great on your ears, this game has a soundtrack I would buy. You can tell from the beautiful hand drawn animations that this game had people's heart and souls poured into it which you can see in the final project as the game is so clean an polished. But the game is unforgiving if you aren't that good at the game or don't feel like being challenge there is an easier mode in the game you can pick just before the fight but not only does the game literally laugh at you for doing this but all it does is give you access to the next boss, meaning you have to redo the boss on the harder/normal difficulty to get the item needed to actually finish the game. Not only this but I believe the run and gun levels where unnecessary I won't go into this much because they were a last minute inclusion as people wanted the game to be more than a boss rush game but in my playthrough I did the first four run and gun levels, got the items I thought would be most helpful and just skipped all the others as there are enough hidden coins around the map to afford another item and some of them are harder than some of the bosses which meant they were just unnecessary pain. But to be honest this game is really worth the asking price, its fun to replay the game as things you found so difficult before are now somewhat easy which gives you a sense of accomplishment and the game is just fun which is all you really need in a video game. (well the games fun until you break your controller/keyboard).… Expand

    Cup head is a masterpiece, it's ineradicable how they made a video game look like a old cartoon, but you shouldn't have to get a pacifist ranking on every run'n gun stage to get a black and white filter, Other than that it's pretty good.

    Cuphead the LONG awaited game that was released on September 29th, 2017 and was originally announced in 2013 the development of the game took a while and the question is, is the game hard and is it any good? Yes and yes currently you can buy the game on Steam for the fair price of 19.99! It will be worth your while.

    только за музыку и стиль уже можно ставить отличную оценку, но в игре сделано все на отлично уровне. На экране как будто оживает мультик из прошлого, который еще и в добавок способен бросить вызов.

    Cuphead is one of, if not, the most visually charming games ever in addition to being the most fun game I have ever played. Obviously, the graphics are stunning, but they are nothing compared to the gameplay. The boss-rush formula was perfected in Cuphead and each boss not only has its own clear and distinct identity but manges to be extremely fun. The run and gun levels are quite fun, butCuphead is one of, if not, the most visually charming games ever in addition to being the most fun game I have ever played.

The boss-rush formula was perfected in Cuphead and each boss not only has its own clear and distinct identity but manges to be extremely fun. The run and gun levels are quite fun, but feel more like bonus levels to get coins rather than central to the game. In addition to that, you don't need to beat the run and gun levels to beat the game, but it sure does help as you can unlock coins in these levels which allow you to buy charms and weapons. Overall, I would reccomend this game to anybody who is up for a pretty challenging game and likes boss fights in video games.… Expand

    Игра, которая окунёт тебя в 1930-еы годы. Ты насладишься прекрасной атмосферой и музыкой в стиле джаза, а пройдя игру сможешь одолеть самого дьявола и даже заставить его плакать.

Everything in this game oozes style and detail, from the numerous bosses to the smallest object, combined with catchy, well composed music fitting of the era the art style represents makes for hugely enjoyable boss fights and run and gun stages for the player to experience. The challenge of the game is a major contributing factor to Cuphead's success, proving that the game has substance to match its amazing style. Fans of any game similar to Cuphead will be unlikely to dislike this whimsical adventure of a videogame, with the only drawback being the boss fight's reliance on a cycling attack patterns that range from laughable to heart-racing, completely changing the outcome of the boss battle depending on your luck or lack of. Cuphead will go down as an artistic masterpiece and a side scrolling shooter classic enjoyed by the masses for years to come.… Expand

    Whenever I hear someone complaining about Cuphead, the only valid argument they have is that it is the most difficult game of all damn time. Besides that, it's the most fun I've had playing any game of any type. Co-op is especially enjoyable, due to the fact that you are constantly reviving one another, and simultaneously getting your ass handed to you by some bee lady who has police connections.

    An absolute masterpiece that anyone should play.

    The gameplay consists essentially in a fast-paced, boss oriented platformer where you have to learn the patterns of the bosses, dodge their attacks and hit back. Although one could characterize the game as "die and retry", it's much more than than it says: discovering the different shapes of each boss is fascinating and challenging, and    An absolute masterpiece that anyone should play.

Although one could characterize the game as "die and retry", it's much more than than it says: discovering the different shapes of each boss is fascinating and challenging, and every time you die you'll dive back in the challenge with great pleasure.

    Artistically, Cuphead is simply perfect. From character design to animations, environments, the effort to recreate the cartoon world of the 30's pays off and Studio MDHR deliver a coherent colorful, frenzied universe which totally fits the cynical but funny story of the main characters. I can't emphasize enough how great the art is and how well it serves the gameplay and the pleasure of playing.

    Speaking of art, the OST is divine. I had never bought any OST on Steam before, but for Cuphead it seemed like the very least I could do to thank the composer Kris Maddigan of his work, a real piece of art ! The rag-jazz mix is amazing and and fits the frenzy of the gameplay perfectly.

    Using the Remote Play feature, it is now possible to play the whole in coop online with a friend (and also locally). Hours of fun and challenge in perspective.

    There's so much more to say about this game, but you need to discover it by yourself. It's one of the best games I played in these last years. And don't wait for discounts, even the full price is cheap considering the quality and the huge work behind this game.    … Expand

    Really good idea the 30' years game graphic. A good run n'gun where you can shoot blue laser by your hand! A good cartoon stile, and also hard. Very hard. I played this with some of my friends, and trust me, it may be really hard and it may explode your head by the rage, but if you complete a boss or a level, you feel the champion of the world. A good experience: 87/100 bits!

    45 hours of the best co-op Ive ever played in my life. I played with my brother, and we both agree, its not just the best co-op game, but the best multi-player game we've played together. Its hard to feel super satisfying when you complete a level, but not impossibly hard. Knockout!

I have never seen a game copy this style better than Cuphead. The animation feels upbeat and lively, and so does the amazing soundtrack by Kristofer Maddigan.

    Mi único detalle con este juego es la variedad que tiene, los objetos a comprar están bien y con los disparos cada quien puede crear su propio estilo de juego pero el 70% del juego son jefes y únicamente hay 6 Run & Gun y es un aspecto que me dejo algo triste del juego.
    Aunque por lo positivo los jefes están muy bien elaborados y cada uno tiene su chiste lo que lo hace mas divertido y desafiante, mucho se quejan por la difucultad y yo la encontre justa ya que el juego cuenta con 3 dificultades, la simple, la Regular y la Experta que se desbloquea al terminar el juego, yo recomiendo que si eres nuevo en el genero empieces por la simple y poco a poco vayas agarrándole la onda.
    Mi mayor detalle es que de eso va todo el juego, los únicos coleccionables que hay son las monedas y en cuanto hacer todos los rangos S o bien los P en los Run & Gun, son una perdida de tiempo, estos no te dan algo tan chido a cambio y yo solo recomendaria hacerlos para restregarselos en la cara de tus amigos.
    En cuanto a visuales el juego es hermoso y en música esta le queda como anillo al dedo.

    Yo recomiendo pasar este juego con un amigo, simplemente es un titulo muy entretenido y si puedes adquierelo en descuento.

    Cuphead is a stunningly looking, wonderfully animated interactive cartoon with three hours of jazz and ragtime playing in the background. Its gameplay however lacks the brilliance of the audiovisual layer. [12/2017, p.46]

    It is easy to tell that the developers studied the history of the genre through and through, delivering a stellar run and gun experience brought to life with unique old fashioned cartoon graphics. It may have it flaws, but when a game is this appealing it is easy to forgive.
