    Insanely neat and unique art style and gameplay for this 2D side scroller. it is something I can go back to when I want a hard game to play but don't feel like I want to poke my eyes out (*cough cough dark souls). 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.

    Muy buen juego, una estética diferente, una historia regular, corto, al final el único atractivo es matar los bosses, al estilo dark souls, pero peor, por la cantidad de contenido, no por la forma de hacerlo.

    Basically, its gorgeously animated, and fun but very limited, levels require applied memorization more than improvisation or reflexes. I really wanted to give it a ten based on the overwhelmingly beautiful visuals. Music and graphics are absolutely top notch.

This game is very fun, this game is about 2 brothers who gamble at a casino and end up getting stuck in a gambling dept by the devil, you can choose either Cuphead or mugman, you can also play as Ms Challice if you purchase the DLC, it’s a run and gun platformer that focuses more on the gameplay than the story which explains why the story is pretty simple, this game is extremely difficult but that makes it even better, the game is fair because every time you die it’s completely your fault, and the satisfaction you get when completing a boss is indescribable, this game is available on Steam, Mac, Xbox, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, And Teslas… Expand

    Gorgeous presentation and highly engaging boss fights with very catchy music. The gameplay is extremely simple, but the very well designed bosses truly elevate it.

    Cuphead is a great game to play with a friend and rage at. Beating bosses are also satisfying that it makes the gruelling pain of dying over and over and over again worth it. The animation is also very detailed and it also distracts me from the game and makes me die a lot.

Everything in the dlc was good (except high noon hoopla). 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

    Cuphead must be one of my favourite games of all time and I have a good reason for it. It takes wonderful, challenging boss fights and puts them through a makeover, with its 1930's Rubberhose art style.

    Cuphead is a marvel of a game. The gameplay is super fine tuned and snappy and feels great to control, the weapons are fun to mix up and all have their pros and cons, most a fun to use. Especially the charge shot, super powerful. The artstyle is really nice and expressive and pleasing to look at, all bosses and characters are so lively and filled with emotion.

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

    I know this game being the dark souls of platformers is a meme now but as someone who has 100% beaten every dark souls game ever I think this is harder. Even if it is hard its really really fun and only 20 bucks yes please!

    Cuphead is a different projection from classic run and shot games. Cuphead gives you a different experience and a lot of fun like other run and shot classic games. Cuphead is about 20 Hours in length. Amazing Visuality and soundtrack, story base on boss, perfect mechanics are pros. Some boss fights’ difficult and different imagining are cons.

    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.
