    Cuphead es uno de mis títulos independientes favoritos de la década tanto por su jugabilidad como en visuales y banda sonora, la historia pues no algo del otro mundo.

    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.

    I love this game. It is so much fun and it also is challenging enough. I thought that I would never complete the third area and yet I finished the whole game. Absolutely love the art style, music and animation. Definitely worth your money, time and effort.

    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!

    The game is actually not that bad. It feels nice, the art style is on the point, but the gameplay is.. is just the same as another platformers.

    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!

Sometimes the boss will have a little cue when it’s about to do an attack, but sometimes not. That’s just poor design. You can’t expect me to just guess when they are going to take up half the screen with an attack. They also have tons of enemy spam and it’s especially annoying since the backgrounds are so detailed, the enemies can blend in with it and you won’t know what’s going on. Also sometimes the game will literally trap you somewhere and forces you to get hit. The only motivation I have to 100% (technically 200% because it’ll say that on my file) the game is that I payed 20$ for it.… Expand

    This game is very good and the animation is very beautiful to look at. The game at the beginning lack a lot though for new players to get into it making some leave without getting through the first level and want to delete the game. Information was taken from my cousin.

    Crap game, recycled garbage, nothing we have not seen before in a run & gun. This does not add anything new, boring all the way, **** controls and a shameful attempt to ca$h from nostalgia.

If I want a challenge I go play Contra games, which are unforgiving but at least fair, and while you show your skills you have amazing alien themes and some amazing level design to enjoy. I have heard this game is way too hard, and again, the difficulty is not based on fair gameplay, instead it is based of handicapping the player with awful controls, unfair enemies and poor hitbox detection, I am glad this game was dead in weeks.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

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

    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.
