    Playing Cuphead on Nintendo Switch with my girlfriend and having an absolute hoot. Yes, it's tough, even on simple mode, but trying, dying, trying again and dying again has never been so much fun! The graphics and music are absolutely sublime and the animations are hilarious. We're having a great time! LOVE IT!

Con mi novia lo compramos de lanzamiento en la switch, y llevamos horas riendo, peleando y divirtiendonos con este jueguito, gracias a los amigos de microsoft por compartirlo. Hablando ya del juego, las mecánicas clásicas de un juego de este género con un toque de dificultad que se agradece, te invita a superarte a ti mismo, memorizar patrones, adaptarte a los imprevistos y ejecutar todo sin fallos para lograr superar el nivel, te lleva de viaje a la buena epoca de los videojuegos. Finalmente, en apartado gráfico es increible, realmente se disfruta cada fotograma animado, cada personaje, fondo e ilustración esta animado a la perfección y junto a la música, te hace vivir nuevamente los comienzos de la animación.
    Si te gustan los desafios, 100% recomendado.    … Expand

    Easy 10 for me. I love this game. I got it alongside Divinity Original Sin 2 & I was just going to play Cuphead on the road, but this game is too much fun. I’m playing it with my little brother a second time to see how well we do against bosses.

    Entré a Cuphead pensando en el tipo de dificultad de juegos como Dark Souls, y no es que el juego sea "fácil". Siento que su jugabilidad está pensada en una lógica Nintendo, esto quiere decir "fácil de entender, difícil de dominar", y esto es lo que hace que sea tan popular en el público más joven. No es injusto, críptico, poco explicativo, o para perderse: tienes unas mecánicas claras, yEntré a Cuphead pensando en el tipo de dificultad de juegos como Dark Souls, y no es que el juego sea "fácil". Siento que su jugabilidad está pensada en una lógica Nintendo, esto quiere decir "fácil de entender, difícil de dominar", y esto es lo que hace que sea tan popular en el público más joven. No es injusto, críptico, poco explicativo, o para perderse: tienes unas mecánicas claras, y cada enemigo y nivel es un desafío para esas mecánicas. Demoré más de 30 horas en completarlo, pero
    la percepción de progresión con cada jefe es adictiva y reconfortante, y son 30 horas que dan la sensación que fuesen 5; no ocurre eso de Assassins Creed que cuando llevas 30 horas haciendo lo mismo sientes que llevas una eternidad jugando. Y bueno, el resto de apartados la verdad son impecables: un diseño artístico muy pulido y vistoso, una banda sonora de ensueño para un juego indie, un rendimiento envidiable en Nintendo Switch, y unos jefes atrapantes. Hay algunos que son verdaderos dolores de cabeza, pero entre gritos de frustración y momentos de pausas para procesar cada patrón de movimiento, se logra escalar en nivel de dificultad y aprendizaje. Las etapas de Run n' gun son momentos de práctica para las mecánicas claves del juego, pero que se podrían haber aprovechado mejor; incluso para añadir aún más contenido al juego. Su curva de dificultad no es tan pronunciada, y se agradece pues la sensación de logro es algo difícil de conseguir en una industria acostumbrada a no hacer sentir "mal" a los jugadores por miedo a las ventas. Hacen falta más juegos como Cuphead, más juegos posibles de terminar de forma cooperativa (otro nivel de dificultad que podría implicar otra reseña en sí misma), y más juegos que te insten a superarte. Espero deseoso el DLC, su secuela, y mucho más; entré tarde al fenómeno, pero se convirtió de esos juegos que, probablemente, es posible que vuelva a re-jugar cuando esté aburrido de la monotonía de la industria.    … Expand

    Un must have ! Un portage parfait sans concession, identique à la version originale. Le jeu est beau, fluide, et d'une difficulté bien relevée. Bref, vous en aurez pour votre argent ! Bien entendu, il n'est pas recommandée pour les personnes sans expérience ;-)

    This game launched at $20.00 and is worth every single penny of its purchase price. The game is challenging however it will make you a better gamer overall and it genuinely fun to play. The art style is genuinely incredible as well as the soundtrack.

    Não lembro de outro jogo, tão bem quanto esse no quesito arte gráfica. O game play é simples e claro com uma dificuldade elevada que necessita de adaptação a cada fase ou boss.

    This amazing game contains fast pacing, memorable boss fights, a strong plot, and masterful music and animation. The game is infuriatingly difficult, but that makes it more fun. I can't think of a single thing keeping me from calling this the greatest indie game of all time.

    It's so hard and because of that I love it. The Art is unbelievable.
    Don't listen to the posts that say: It's too hard. At the beginning most of the bosses will seem impossible but the game is always fair and if you die it's never the fault of the game.
    It's 20 bucks so give it a try.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cuphead - это очень красивый и не менее сложный платформер. Сочная картинка, красивые краски, стиль мультфильмов 30-х годов - это просто обёртка. За ней скрывается не очень, но сложный платформер и буллетхэлл. Игра имеет одну собственную механику: парироврие от розового цвета, будь то снаряд или бабочки на заднем фоне. Перемещение между уровнями осуществляется на карте мира, на ней можно встретить разных персонажей, с которым можно поговорить, можно найти секретные монетки и посетить магазин. В магазине, который здесь называется свинотекой можно купить оружие и умения. Использовать можно только 2 вида оружия и одно умение. В игре нельзя найти такого умения или оружия, с помощью которого можно на легке пробежать уровни. Например самонаводящиеся пули имеют очень низкую атаку, или же при дополнительном здоровье снижается атака. Уровни в игре имеют 3 типа: Боссы, Run'd Gun и мавзолеи. Их всех, кроме мавзолеев можно пройти на разную оценку, начиная от F(прохождение босса на лёгком уровне сложности), заканчивая S(прохождение босса на сложном уровне сложности).
    Разберём каждый из них.
    Боссы:
    Они занимают 90-95% всех уровней в игре. Всего их 19: 5 на первом и на втором острове, 7 на третьем острове и 2 на последнем острове. Большинство боссов сложные, но стоит на одном боссе просидеть 40-60 минут и уже его довольно легко убить, есть прям совсем сложные и совсем лёгкие. 12 из них проходят в виде платформера и 5 на самолёте в воздухе. Всего у них 3 сложности: лёгкая, нормальная и сложная. На лёгком уровне сложности за прохождение не даётся контракта души, поэтому босс считается не пройденым. Сложный уровень сложности открывается только после прохождения игры на нормальном.
    Run'd Gun:
    Всего их в игре 6 штук, по 2 на каждом из первых трех островов. Они нужны для собирания монет, на которые можно купить что-нибудь в магазине.
    Для меня это самые сложные уровни в игре, потому что они очень длинные и имеют огромное количество врагов. На 1 острове они довольно лёгкие, но на втором и на третьем они невероятно сложные. Так же эти уровни можно пройти не только на A+, но и на P - никого не убить на уровне.
    Мавзолеи:
    Это уровни, с помощью которых Чашек и Кружек может получить суперспособность. Всего их существует 3, каждая из них открывается на первых трех островах. На уровне нужно защищать вазу от призраков, которых нужно парировать.
    В итоге мы получаем отличную, красивую и сложную игру. Прохождение у меня заняло 16 часов.    … Expand

    I’m so glad they released this game on switch so I could play it. Really difficult but it’s addicting. There is no word to describe that feeling when you beat a boss after so many attempts. It’s a must buy imo.

    Cuphead is a really hard game that feels great when beaten. Soundtrack and art style are fantastic, but most of the time you'll be paying attention in not dying than taking a moment to appreciate this work of art. It's not a game for everyone, only for people with patience and a lot of free time.

    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.
