    De los mejores indies que se han creado en la historia, es bastante divertido para jugar ya sea solo o con alguien, es una gran experiencia, bastante divertido y original.

    A short game, but only if you have the knowleddge and the skill, without it, the game feels eternal, an amazing artstyle and an outstanding ost. Marine Corps is my favorite song on the base game

    Cuphead es un gran juego. No se si tengo que decir algo sobre la direccion de arte o el soundtrack.
    Las batallas contra jefes son en su mayoria muy buenas y no en demasiadas ocasiones injustas.
    La dificultad no suele ser muy injusta pero si que hay veces que puedes llegar a pensar que el juego lo hace aposta, pero son muy pocas veces. La historia no existe pero de igual manera los    Cuphead es un gran juego. No se si tengo que decir algo sobre la direccion de arte o el soundtrack.

La historia no existe pero de igual manera los personajes son tan carismaticos y reconocibles que hasta dan para una serie. En definitiva Cuphead es un juego bello con mucho amor detras y un muy buen juego.

    Tambien los controles van con mucho delate y suelen fallar pero eso es problema de la swicht no del juego.    … Expand

    Challenging and the art style is just so charming. Absolutely hated it, one of the best games I've played.

    I recently purchased Cuphead for my Nintendo Switch and I must say, it's one of the best games I've played in a long time. The animation style is unique and visually stunning, and the gameplay is challenging yet incredibly rewarding. The bosses are all unique and have their own personalities, which makes each battle feel like a whole new experience. The soundtrack is also top-notch andI recently purchased Cuphead for my Nintendo Switch and I must say, it's one of the best games I've played in a long time.

The only reason why I wouldn't give it a perfect 10 out of 10 is because there were a few instances where the controls felt a bit clunky, but it didn't detract too much from the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend Cuphead to anyone looking for a fun and challenging game to play on their Switch.… Expand

    Incredible art style, addictive and punishing combat, loud and lively music, a must-have for any fan of platformers and amazing 2D boss battles.

    Great game, which is very original and has a unique 1930s cartoon-style visuals. However, it is exceptionally difficult, even when opting to play through levels on 'Easy' mode.

    Cuphead is such a masterclass in style and control that the few errant ink blots vanish in a Technicolor wonderland! [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 30]

    Visually stunning and difficult in all the right ways, Cuphead is a testament to the importance of thought out game design. Every facet of the run and gun parts is built around giving the audience an experience unique to the videogame medium. Although this borrows quite heavily from a very specific era of animation history, its aesthetic goes beyond homage, coupling masterfully with gameplay that encourages mastery on every level. With some of the best designed boss fights this generation, a beautifully rich animation style, and impeccably fine-tuned controls, Cuphead stands out as not only one of the best indie titles on the Nintendo Switch, but one of strongest releases this generation, period.

    That Studio MDHR were able to make an aesthetic that’s nearly a century old seem fresh and new at the same time as they made an enjoyable game is just a bonus.
