    El juego es muy bueno y fue inovador cuando salió, solo debes tomar en cuenta cuando lo juegues q puede ser un poco molesto cuando te atores en 1 nivel y que te puedes llegar a fastidiar pero fuera de eso 10/10

    Great game in a beautiful cartoon style from the 30s. The game has excellent and varied bosses, a good soundtrack, interesting characters, levels. One of the best platform games ever.

    The game is great and everyone has given it all the praise it can get. BUT BE WARNED! This game is brutally difficult and if you don't have the patience to develop skills, you're gonna have a bad time.

    Artisticamente un capolavoro, i combattimenti in aria sono una gioia per gli occhi e una scoperta nello sviluppo del gioco, semplicemente ciò di cui c'era bisogno, un gioco arcade visionario pieno di amore, sia per la cultura vidioludica che per l'animazione anni 30

    Nota: 9.5

    A direção de arte é belíssima, da uma nostalgia de jogos e desenhos antigos. As vezes se torna um pouco frustrante devido a dificuldade, mas é muito divertido de se jogar, é totalmente justo e tem mecânicas que funcionam bem.

    Astounding game. Phenomenal visuals, OST, gameplay, and characters. However, the world building, and the story overall felt decent at best. They just kinda sprang it on there, and didn't add anything to it really. The game balance is also pretty good, although yeah, some bosses do end up being harder than the devil. The repetitiveness of the gameplay also didn't really feel too bad for me.Astounding game. Phenomenal visuals, OST, gameplay, and characters.

Constantly losing and losing and then finally beating the boss really gives you this adrenaline rush and dopamine you've been looking for, and it feels amazing every time.

    A game with one of the best art styles i have ever seen. The gameplay is not that complex and new but the boss rush system is fun. The expert mode when you finish the game doesn't really add much to the game, but can be a cool challenge for everyone who thought it was too easy. I don't think I have to mention the story, it's not really important for that kind of game.

    The game's hand drawn animation is beautiful and the world is charming. Little details such as the menu saying the game was made in 1931 really elevate the overall experience. The bosses are all filled with so much life and the game strikes the prefect balance between difficult and insanity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has many things to love about it, it has an incredible art style, some very creative puns and names, and so many fun battles.
    With that said there are a couple bad things to be said to, mainly the difficulty. The difficulty itself is fine, a challenge is always accepted but the problem I had was with the order of difficulty because I found a lot of early bosses to be hard while some later ones easy, (example: Calla Maria, easy late game boss, while dragon, is very hard to beat on a first playthrough but is only in world 2).
    With that said though I think that even when a boss is difficult then I find it fun to check which tools/weapons could fit the best, its like a small little puzzle of finding which weapon would work the best, and with that said I think the best part of the game is the creating custom loadouts for each boss. Would recommend if you like challenge 8/10    … Expand

Would 100% recommend to anyone who's up for a challenge but be aware this game is brutally difficult so play at your own risk.

Some gripes with the game are that the airplane levels seem more like torture devices because they sometimes feel like overwhelming bullet hell. The run and gun levels also seem kinda forced in, and I feel that 6 more bosses would be better that the run and guns. Other than that, Im glad that this game got a show, and they did an amazing job for an indie game. Im exited to see what this studio pumps out next.… Expand

The artstyle is really nice and expressive and pleasing to look at, all bosses and characters are so lively and filled with emotion. The charms are nice to mix up gameplay and give some power ups, but sadly you won't get to experience much of them without making the game a lot harder, you almost need the smokebomb equipped always. While the difficulty is grueling, it's seldom unfair. I was determined to beat every boss no matter how many times they strike me down. The run and gun levels are pretty mediocre though and can be frustrating to get through, especially to ocean one in Isle 3. The game has barely any bad things to say, the end of the game sort of falls short, less epic and tedious with king dice and the devil Is a mediocre boss. I also dislike some off the random factors in bosses, like attacks that line up to be almost impossible, rng attacks that are the only thing that feel unfair. This game is a masterpiece with barely any shortcomings and is practically perfect. I never had a huge problem with the difficulty but others may. The two player mode is loafs of fun too, but breaks some bosses. The doubling health on fights like the devil makes you see the same attacks even more and drags them out, while not quite as tight in two player, an absolute blast. I highly recommend this game to more experienced players and is a must play.… Expand

    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.
