The bosses (except the final boss I defeated him in my 2nd try) are pretty difficult, but not too hard for the moment you fight them in, except the FRICKING DRAGON HE IS SO HARD, which means the game is not as hard as like GD or Getting Over It, but still challenging.

    Cuphead is a relentless game.

    It's a lot of other things too, but it's main thing is that it is relentless with the player. Make the slightest mistake and you will pay. Again. And again. And again. This approach by the devs is intentional. It is very obvious that the game was designed with this philosophy. Now here's the thing. Someone can be relentless to you if they so wish, but    Cuphead is a relentless game.

    If someone expects excellence, then excellence should be expected from them .

    I'll take one point off for the tiny bit of lag when you press pause-down-A to restart.
    Another point off because the spinning move can't be done directly after jumping.
    Another point off cause the spinning move has the tiniest bit of lag.
    I'll take another point off for some weapons descriptions not being accurate.
    I'll take another point off cause the final bosses don't have an easy mode.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    The wonderful art design, nod to classic cartoons and smooth controls are what stand out in this game. The only thing about this game that will drive some folks away is that it’s hard to master. Boss battles are just precious artwork and well-designed that should be appreciated to all that play. If you play it on the easier difficulty, you’ll be missing out on the boss battles because you won’t be able to see them transform for the second stage.    … Expand

    Cuphead has brought back the old school challenges of playing a game. Very difficult, and keeps you entertained and coming back for more! The art style is just one of a kind, and a pleasure to see. The very unique ideas behind the boss battles and feel of classic cartoons is just amazing. A must play for anyone who enjoyed the difficulty of playing games in the 90’s.

Because of it's difficulty and repetition, it puts itself in a class that isn't interesting to me. But more than just my tastes, the game does have additional flaws. 1) You can't turn in your upgrades (even at a reduced price) to get/try something else. You could argue that this makes the game even more difficult, but I'd rather they increase the difficulty in a less aggravating way to locking you into an upgrade. 2) You can only go so far on simple mode, which isn't made clear at the beginning of the game. Thus, you might play through on simple for the story only to find out that won't get you to the ending. 3) Some bosses/boss parts can be easily defeated standing in a certain spot and/or doing a certain move, which you can grind to find out or watch YouTube. But to be fair, that's true for a lot of games. 4) When playing two players it can be hard to distinguish between you and your friend. I think Cuphead and Mugman should've been a little more unique from one another. 5) Should've had a kid mode so that not only could kids play this game, but casual adults too.

    Anyway, I prefer games with simple story mode or some online action. This game kept my interest for a night or two, but the aforementioned flaws and repetition was not my thing. If you're like me, this isn't the game for you.    … Expand

    Really couldn’t get into it, just felt too painful and unforgiving. However, that probably just comes down to preference of game style and thus I couldn’t fairy give it a negative score. The art style is also brilliant and should be reused in future games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cuphead is a joy both to view and to play. From the art style paying homage to cartoons by Fleisher Studios and Walt Disney which were popular back in the 1930s, to the perfect level of difficulty that motivates you to improve upon your last attempt. The run-and-gun stages were unique and enjoyable, but are nothing compared to the brilliantly crafted boss fights. From your humble beginnings facing Goopy Le Grande all the way to the climatic battle with the Devil, there is no boss or song in the soundtrack that disappoints. With the addition of co-op in the game, you and a friend can take on the unique and quirky bosses together for incredible amounts of enjoyment. The only complaint to be found for me was that some of the charms (equipped items) such as Heart, Twin Hearts, and the Whetstone never tend to serve a purpose aside from the former two helping those still learning the game. Overall, if you either have not purchased the game, or finished playing, I would highly recommend giving this game a full chance.… Expand

Cuphead is one of the most difficult and challenging video games I have ever played. You'd think the game would give a slight edge but... It doesn't. It just constantly throws everything it has at you. All the time. If you play a boss on the easy difficulty, the game won't progress. You are required to play on the regular difficulty if you want to progress the main storyline. Which I think is a pretty trash mechanic in any video game. The developers should at least not require you to play on a harder difficulty to progress the game. A crucial thing to have in a game is difficulty selection that doesn't effect the progression of the game at all. Thank goodness that the game doesn't require lives. Now that would be awful. So I give Cuphead and 8. I do like it, but the difficulty distorts the cool and creative Ideas.… Expand

So this probably makes you think I like dark souls but dark souls has one problem for me and also its the reason I stopped playing it. this problem is the fact that if you die by a boss you have to walk 5 minutes again after a loading screen to just die again.

This just frustrates me as it is literally wasting my time.

    But this just confirms why I love cuphead so much because with just simply hitting one button on your controller after dying you can retry the boss immediatly. This is amazing and just lets me try a boss over and over again until I get the knockout. For me this just makes me wonder why doesnt darksouls put the respawns closer and why should it be a punish to die as it is just learning the game they made. But okay enough about dark souls.

    the combat in cuphead is good its most of the time just manufuring around the screen and shooting if you get the chance or just let loose of bullet hell to get as much damage in. The bosses are pretty hard and it took me about 200 deaths to finish the game.

    The only thing I really hated where the flying levels. This is the same with mario or any other 2d platform games with swimming levels. seriously nobody likes that its tedious! but besides that this game is amazing!

    The tightest gameplay in any game I’ve played. Very difficult, but not punishing (as in you don’t lose a lot of progress for dying). Levels seem impossible at first, but you naturally get a little better each time until that run where you just barely scrape by with a win. It’s an absolute blast. And the art, animation and music make this the most stylish game I’ve ever played.

    I only gave this an 8 because it is so damn difficult!! Amazing “Steamboat Willy” esque art throwback style to classic animation. My friends won’t play this with me because it stresses them the hell out. Possibly harder than the old Contra games. Still if you’re up for a challenge, this is a great game if you’re up to deal with the devilish difficulty.

    This may just be my opinion, but cuphead is an amazing game. The music is amazing and you really get the old timey vibe by just playing it for a few minutes. Its a nice challenge and a fun game to speedrun.

    Where do I begin, this was one hell of a game and i highly recommend this game for people looking for a challenge. But this challenge will more than likely make you pissed off. Although the game is so amazing that you can’t stay away from it for a long period of time. I beat this game awhile ago but I will visit this game all the time.

    You know how a joke can start funny, get annoying, then become funny again through sheer attrition? That’s Cuphead’s approach to enjoyment.

That’s Cuphead’s approach to enjoyment. With a beautiful, caustic, near-unceasing stream of boss battles, Studio MDHR’s debut made me scream with joy and horror by turn, but I settled on joy by the end.

    The most obvious point to begin with is that Cuphead looks astonishing. Its 1930s animation style – all watercolour backgrounds and surreal, juddering, hand-drawn characters – pay peerless homage to Max Fleischer and his ilk, and are perfectly implemented. Somehow it manages to balance dozens of moving elements and a slight rear-projection blur without ever feeling unreadable in even the most frantic moments. There has never been a game that looks like this and there may never be again. Every scene is a masterwork – it’s a near-unbelievable achievement for an art style.

    The sound work is an ideal match: a huge jumble of high-tempo ragtime, swing, big band, and jazz (the list of musicians is almost as long as the rest of the credits combined) pummels away wonderfully in the background of every fight. It makes Cuphead feel truly out of time, and its bizarre mix of ‘30s aesthetics and ‘80s design more heady than ever. I also feel duty-bound to point out that the way Porkrind the shopkeeper bellows “welcome” made me laugh every single time I heard it.

    There’s no doubt that it’s gorgeous, and many people will be drawn to that, but that veneer conceals a very niche, hardcore design. You may have gleaned by now that this game is really, really hard. It’s absolutely uncompromising in its difficulty from the outset. No level includes checkpoints and, barring one late-game match-up, there is no way to regain lost health. You could hit levels that take hours to beat, and the finale is locked off until you beat every other level on “Regular” difficulty (i.e. extremely difficult). And don’t think that local co-op will ease things up – dropping in a second player as Cuphead’s pal Mugman makes events onscreen that much harder to follow. I find it actively harder with a second player, if anything.

    And so, as I played I gradually stopped noticing a lot of the glorious art, because actually interacting with Cuphead is so hectic, so stressful, that it just gets filed away by my right-brain as a distraction. That skyscraper-tall robot firing laser barriers is just three hovering hitboxes and a series of no-go zones. When one boxing glove-wearing frog eats another to turn itself into an evil slot machine, that’s nothing more than a phase change. My favourite boss design – a giant bird wearing cuckoo clock armour and its tiny, ray gun-wielding chick – fires wads of garbage at you by literally turning its head into a bin, but I only noticed that detail when I watched someone else play it hours later.

    Cuphead's Story In (Beautiful) Pictures
    10+ IMAGES
    In the moment it’s frenetic, but Cuphead’s structure is a linear sequence of three worlds filled with one-shot levels to complete, and a finale. Those levels can take one of three forms. The least common – and least interesting – is run ‘n’ gun, left-to-right platforming drawn directly from the likes of Contra. Barring one that has you regularly flipping gravity to get through, these are both the easiest and least inventive stages that Cuphead has to offer. They’re meant to provide some breathing space from endless boss battles, but they end up feeling more like a lull.

    Thankfully, the other types are straight boss battles, and they are an entirely different sentient kettle of surreal, singing fish. Some take the form of bullet hell shooting, with Cuphead mounted in a free-flying plane. As much tests of dexterity as they are pattern learning, they’re a throwback to the likes of classic Treasure games (just with fewer spaceships and more angry constellations), and slot comfortably alongside them for quality.

    Best of all, though, are the platforming battles. This is where MDHR flexes its imagination most, crafting weird, often hilarious bouts that have you interacting with the limited control scheme in more and more interesting ways. Taking on the workers on a ghost train has you not only shooting enemies, but also controlling the position of your rail trolley platform while stopping minions from moving you into dangerous positions. Battling an actress in her theatre takes you through the different stages of a play, and the combat feels almost like a fighting game as she divekicks and uses props as special moves. One of the final levels changes the structure entirely, turning a series of fights into a miniature board game – it’s an absolute joy, and up there with the best boss battles I’ve ever played.    … Expand

Thankfully Cuphead is a classic and a game that has managed to deliver in every area. The first thing you will notice about the game is the amazing art design and soundtrack. The visuals are simply stunning and unlike any other game I’ve ever played, and the accompanying music makes the game even more enjoyable. The gameplay is very challenging, and while some people may find it a little too difficult I found it to be great. The main reason why I liked the challenging gameplay is because I didn’t once get frustrated, which is rare in a game like this. The bosses in the game are some of the most creative and imaginative I’ve ever come across, and each boss keeps the game fresh. The variety doesn’t stop there because each different level is packed to the brim with variety, which in turn makes the world come alive and makes for an even enjoyable adventure. There is also a decent amount of variety when it comes to the abilities, and the best thing is that each ability matters when it comes to fighting the bosses. Cuphead also has local co-op for you to enjoy, and to say me and my friend had fun would be an understatement. I just wish that an online co-op mode would have been included. At the end of the day Cuphead has gone above and beyond in all aspects, and this in my opinion makes the game one of the best games the Xbox One has to offer. Cuphead is one of them rare games that gets everything right, and the uniqueness it has to offer is like no other I’ve experienced. I urge people to look past the difficulty because it doesn’t frustrate, and the charm the game has makes you look past the difficulty. Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the best games of the year, and I fully expect it to win numerous awards.… Expand

    Now the only flaw of this game is its difficulty. I am good at difficult games but most people are not. Sometimes the difficulty ruins the person's experience. Like if a game is too easy then they will get bored because there is nothing challenging but if it is too hard then they will get too frustrated and their enjoyment is ruined. This game is rather difficult but not as difficult as most games. But do not let that ruin your experience for this wonderful game!

The difference between those midway games and Cuphead is that the former usually costs a buck or two and after you try it out, you move on. The latter suckers you into spending $20 for a digital equivalent of that kind of experience you can subject yourself to over and over again. It has an an appealing visual presentation, and when it was announced I couldn't wait to play it because I am no stranger to 2D action games on the original Nintendo and Sega consoles. I've heard people defend the difficulty of this game by saying that it simply hearkens back to those kinds of games but I think they are experiencing buyers remorse and/or trying to be a good sport about it, which is fine, but I have played many of these types of games in the past; the kind from the 80s and 90s and they are not this damn hard. I've even beaten some of them and thoroughly enjoyed the brutal ones like Contra or Super Mario Brothers.

    At what point do you draw a line between challenging and cheap? This game is cheap as hell. You have 3 hits and you're dead, which is totally acceptable, but there are way too many standard things that have been omitted from the game which makes no sense. There's simply NOT ENOUGH ROOM on each stage to dodge the barrage of projectiles, and to add insult to injury, sometimes it's not clear what hurts you and what doesn't. You have 3 lives and you're dead. OK. Cool. It can still be that way with extra lives to pick up throughout the levels, maybe to -- you know, have more than 3? And if that is completely out of the question then fine, maybe it could have been designed so that you can replenish your health back to 3. Why couldn't they put some kind of reward or incentive like that to keep the flow of the gameplay going? Even if it did allow something like that, it would still be tough as nails. I'm not even talking about making it really easy, I'm just rattling off what I kept thinking while I played it, and if it had some features like that it, it would resemble a real game and not some annoyingly unfair shooting gallery. In those old games like Contra, they're hard but you can definitely do it after a few attempts. In this game I felt like I simply could not do it. Maybe people too young to remember the NES days think this is what it was like? Well, it really wasn't. Even the 16-bit era had ridiculously hard games, but you could still beat them, like Earthworm Jim or something. That is a hard game but you can actually play it for a while, and even if you're getting your ass kicked there's still a way forward. There's no sense of progression or trial and error here because it's never a mystery why you died -- you know the reason: you got hit by something you could not avoid fast enough. So you do it again and again and again until you somewhat "master" the annoying unfairness of it all, and yes I beat it. I'm not being a sore loser, I just wanted to express that I felt manipulated into buying this game because it seemed like something that would have platforming levels and bosses at the end of each world like Super Mario. Instead, it's designed to make you fail hundreds of times so it that it can seem like an old school "hardcore" action game but it's not. It's just some schlock made by a team of hipsters in the 2010s, and they sold it by masking it with a novel art style. Good job, you got my $20. Games that are too easy annoy the hell out of me, and I avoid them, but games that are pointlessly hard and repetitive irritate me in the same way. If you're trying to pick up a game to play for an hour or two to have a good time on the weekend then pick up something else.    … Expand

One of the few games I will truly never forget.… Expand

    Charming, with a beautiful style that's applied in an unique way, you could say it's a unique game.
    It's very hard but it will feel worthy going through it.

    Cuphead is so deeply beautiful, using an art style ripped straight from 1930's animation, Cupheads visuals alone leave you loving the game upon loading it up. As for the gameplay, just as good if not even better.

As for the gameplay, just as good if not even better. You see, Cuphead is a 'run and gun' type of game, it takes on a boss rush format with minimal platforming levels inbetween. this supplements the game well, as after a boss, (which tend to take a rather long time to complete) I just need a breather, and hidden through out the run and gun stages are coins which can be used at a shop titled: 'Porkrinds Emporium' to purchase new gun types and charms. As for the story: 10/10 original. The game opens up with a storybook like cut- scene that screams authenticity. Cuphead and his brother, Mugman are traveling to the Devil's Casino. They gamble and are on a winning streak, when suddenly the Devil himself appears. He gives them an offer: if they roll a perfect 12 on the dice, they get to own the whole casino. If they dont? The devil takes their souls and uses them as drinkware. They run off to The Elder Kettle (presumably their care-taker) who gives them the ability to, you guessed it, 'Run and Gun!' And the boss rush formula never gets tedious as the bosses take so long to complete and have such visual flair, that you just get so invested in them. Overall, Cuphead is a genius creation by Studio MDHR and the years of development paid off. with great gameplay, visual flair, musical composition that is so good its on the verge of being tear jerking, and an overall truly memorable experience that no gamer should miss. 10/10.… Expand

    For Xbone anyway, potentially GOTY. It's beautiful to look and play, the graphics remind you of being a child and brings back a lot of nostalgia. The game is pretty tough, but only as hard as Contra in the 16bit days, although does remind me a bit of Battletoads with the unfairness on 2 player. Still, it's a game that brings hope that awesome 2D Contra style games are not dead. Let's justFor Xbone anyway, potentially GOTY.

    The unique audiovisual elaborating and uncompromising playability beat a few freckles on the beauty of the game. Cuphead is a title that has mistakes, but you just cannot get it from the head. [Issue#279]

    For players that appreciate classic run-and-gun combat, punishing difficulty, constantly learning from failure, and breathtaking art, Cuphead’s experience will not disappoint.
