    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.

    It was fun all the time. As far as I remember i had only problems with Kahls Robot and the Devil. Giving this game 0 because too hard makes me puke... Really? Too hard? Bruh... I am mental and I beaten it! Who in the right mind would say it is too hard! A child? A grandpa? I do not get it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Combat and visuals are excellent. The art design is some of the finest ever made. Bosses are all unique and fun to beat. The run and gun levels however are a significant flaw. They are not fun to play. They would be serviceable if they were optional, but you are only able to collect coins for upgrades from these levels.… Expand

    The incredibly charming art style, reminiscent of the early Disney cartoon era, makes this game a treat to play. The art style juxtaposed with the challenging run n guns and boss fights makes this game a favorite of mine. Takes lots of patience. 10/10

    This game is nice but you need to stay calm while playing or else you are probably gonna smash all your controllers or keyboreds. All the bad reviews are probably due to the fact that this game is too hard. (also if you dont have a controller, then dont buy it cuz playing with a keybored is not the best option)

    Beautiful art, good OST, but I don't think they should've made this game so frustratingly difficult. Some bosses are absolute cancer.

Each boss is unique, and nearly all of them offer fun new attack patterns to learn. I haven't even mentioned the painstakingly authentic Fliescher Studios art style that the game has replicated. 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. If you are a fan of classic cartoons like I am, you will have an absolute blast with Cuphead, and if you're not, who knows, maybe you will find a new liking in this incredibly charming experience!… Expand

    This is another point where the difficulty is extremely high, there are several elements on the screen, bosses with plenty of health and you with little, which makes the game very challenging, but not unfair, since over time you memorize the boss's moves , and the blows.

    The audio is another point apart, also very well done and reminds of the old drawings. Since the story is not a central point and it's just a background item to justify the game, it doesn't make it a bad point, but I think it helps since you don't need to focus on the story and yes, only on the gameplay of this game.    … Expand

    Cuphead is a fantastic experience. If you want to experience one of the best platform games of the 8th generation, cuphead is made for you. Everything about this game is gorgeous the graphics to the gameplay. The difficulty is well-balanced as well. My only complaint is that They could have made a better balance between bosses and run n gun levels.

    For the simple retro style that it has, it already deserves a 10 but speaking of gameplay it is very good with easy to learn and intuitive controls if it is difficult but that is the grace of the game since there is nothing more satisfactory than to beat that boss who annoyed you highly recommended.

    It has nice visual style but gameplay is unfair.

    It is trial and error. You keep repeating the same levels until you play it perfectly.

    Worst of all is there are no checkpoints in levels so you restart everything from beginning if you lose all your lives.

    After some time you just quit or finish with a trainer.

    Cuphead to nietypowa i wymagająca platwormówka inspirowana kreskówkami lat trzydziestych.

Nietypowa, ponieważ zamiast typowych scrollowanych plansz w ramach normalnych poziomów walczymy z bossami (i dobrze się stało bo ich jakość jest nierówna), natomiast typowe, platwormowe plansze są jedynie odskocznią. Wymagająca, bo każdy boss jest unikatowy, wytrzymały i zrobi wszystko by nas ukatrupić. Świetna, gdyż ta tródność w więkrzości przypadków wynika nie z tego, że "przeciwnik oszukał", a ze względu na uczciwe wyzwanie które nam stawia. Też dla tego, że karzdy z stawiających nam to wyzwanie przeciwników jest świetnie animowany, świetnie wygląda i jest wyjątkowy. Dla tego, że uprzykrzającym nam życie kolejnym klęskom towarzyszy świetna muzyka.
    Jak już mówiłem, zamiast typowych plansz "bieganych" zazwyczaj musimy uczestniczyć w planszach "walczonych". Te dzielą się na dwa typy: "skakane", w których skaczemy oczywiście, żecz jasna tak by poobijać przeciwnika, oraz "latane", w których, nie zgadniecie, latamy, w sumie w podobnym celu. Ze względu na to, że są one podzielone na dwa typy, rozgrywka jest bardzo zróżnicowana. Chociarz obie są wysokiej jakości, to nie oszukujmy się - te pierwsze są wyszszej. Wspomniane zróżnicowanie przejawia się niestety też w poziomie trudności - zdarzyło się, że przeciwnik z wyspy pierwszej był trudniejszy niż przeciwnik z wyspy trzeciej. Na pocieszenie mamy chociarz wybór poziomu trudności.
    Gra oferuje nam kilka rodzajów broni i umiejętności. Tych pierwszych efekty wizualne są bardzo satysfakcjonujące, w przeciwieństwie niestety do tych dźwiękowych. Dźwięki są ledwo zauwarzalne. Wiem dobrze co na celu miał ten zabieg - nie psucie klimatu. W podobnym celu nie są podawane efekty ataku, zadawane bronią obrażenia czy nawet pasek życia wrogów. To wielkie minusy.
    Jaki jest jednak najwiękrzy tej gry plus? Zaraz po grafice i muzyce, bzdurność przeciwników to najwiękrzy atut Cupheada. A jaki jest najwiękrzy minus? Brak nagrody za pokonanie wroga. Nic. Żadnej monetki, punktu. Nic.
    Ale czym on jest przy poprzednich plusach, oraz tych niewspomnianych jeszcze plusów. Jakich? Na przykład uroczej fabuły i dialogów, potancjału na maksowanie, i wielu innych żeczy. Jedno jest pewne - Cuphead jest grą wartą polecenia!    … Expand

There are different arcade modes which also reminds of the old school games like contra and other jump and puzzle games, although there are few drawbacks I felt about this game were firstly unchangeable controls, the controls in the controller settings are not customizable i.e. you cannot change the controls which sometimes irritates a lot as you cannot switch up to habitual keys. Second comes the randomizations in boss level. Ya I understand it’s a good thing and makes the game more interesting but with the pinch of salt I feel its quite unfair with people looking for patters. The game in particular is very good and challenging and could be played for hours the old school animation and retro gaming concepts hits a sweet spot for some and may seem boring to others… Expand

Immediately I want to note excellent art design and soundtrack. Now, regarding the gameplay, most of the bosses are an fair test, but there are also bosses who speak for themselves that there was something wrong with the developer when he did them. I'm talking about such bosses as Bee, Dr.Khauls Robot and King Dice, words cannot describe how disgusting it is to fight against them, and at the same time these fights are one of the longest in the game.Now we can talk about Run'Gun, on the first two islands they are rather complicated and interesting, I personally don't know what happened to the developer when he came up with the last two Run'Guns, but it was at least alcoholic intoxication, because I just can't imagine how sane a person is can come up with this **** especially Run'Gun in the port is a complete dumbstair. But despite these gameplay disadvantages, I am ready to recommend this game to a hardcore player or a platformer lover. 8 / 10… Expand

    Really stunning art! 11/10! However, the gameplay is a bit repetitive, no progression to feel. I didn't feel the growth as a player either, like you do in Furi or Hollow Knight.
    But the art, man, the art is so wonderful!

    Lo jugué en cuanto salió en la pc de mi hermano, recientemente lo compre en GOG y la experiencia fue mas gratificante dado que me adapte muy rápido y de hecho lo terminé en menos de 12 horas. Es un juego único, graficas no vistas en ningún otro juego y una banda sonora que es apreciable por cualquiera, junto con Celeste son de los mejores indies que he jugado en mi vida.
    100% recomendable.

    Cuphead is a blast from start to finish. The silky mechanics are complemented by the vintage, beautiful art style. As the charming ceramic duo pummel boss after boss to Maddigan's excellent soundtrack, the stakes are steadily raised. By the final level, you will be glued to the screen. It's a great day for a swell battle. You're up!

I platinumed it yesterday after having a hard time putting it down since I picked it up. The thing that drew me to it initially was the art design and nostalgia for that era of cartoon animation. I'm a 32 year old who grew up loving early Disney classics, so the game sort of had an in with me from the get go. Beyond the aesthetics, I found a deeply challenging and sometimes deeply frustrating game. But I found it to be fair, consistent, and learnable. That tipped the scales from frustration to a need to conquer it.

    The game has three modes, all in 2d side scroll: run and gun, air fight, and platforming boss fight. It is essentially a game of roughly 20 boss fights of increasing difficulty (with some exceptions), that requires you to learn the ins and outs of the bosses' behaviors, and adapt. By the time I had beaten the game on normal (let alone expert), I had died or hit the retry button about 230 times. And from what I gather, that's lower than average. However, the boss fights only last about two minutes in most cases. For anyone considering this game, be advised that it will be very frustrating to many gamers. It's brutally challenging and requires quick reflexes and constant reading of loads of information on the screen. To add to the potential frustration, many of the projectiles and hazards launched at you are randomly generated. But with persistence, it is almost a certainty you will learn the general patterns of the bosses and levels, and increase your chances of succeeding.

    The music, sound design and visuals of this game cannot be praised highly enough. There is great care and attention to detail, and a truly memorable and varied score. However, given the hectic nature of the game, it is inherently difficult to enjoy the quality work that went into the visual aspects of the game. One of my favorite aspects of the aesthetic was the ability of the art designers to blend the pleasing and cute with the creepy. Many bosses will present you with downright creepy gestures and shifts in animation, and small audio cues to go along with them. I found this very welcome, and also true to form for animation of the era this game is intended to emulate.

    As far as controls, this game is perfectly playable. The controls are tight and responsive, as they must be. I would strongly advise any player to take some time at the outset of the game to map controls in a manner that makes sense to them. It's extremely important to be able to shoot, jump and dash in simultaneously or in quick succession comfortably. I settled on mapping fire to R1, Jump to X, and Dash to Circle. Movement was set to d-pad. That worked well for me. For the other functions it is not nearly as important how they are mapped, so long as you can remember them and use them on the fly.

    There is one peculiar function in this game that I almost never used. Others will certainly disagree. There is a "lock" function which will hold Cuphead in place, allowing you to aim at angles using the joystick or d-pad. However, it is locked to 8 directions which feels extremely prohibitive in this game. The idea of locking our hero in place to fire at a 45 or 135 degree angle never seemed enticing to me. Cuphead can always shoot up or down without this function, and that ability is crucial.

    Cuphead provides amazing visuals drawing from the earliest in animation, a great big band and jazz score, and extremely fun and challenging gameplay to boot. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was certainly mine and it should be for anyone who enjoys this style of game.    … Expand

    This game was made with care and time, something that the big projects like Fallout 76 didn't have. It's super good, hard, and the art and music is just perfect. The problems are that it's a bit short, some levels are more fun than others (hate run and gun) and some perks are useless. But overall it's a good game, probably one of the best indies ever made.

    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

    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.
