![]() ![]() Additionally, throughout the adventure, you can obtain upgrades to make them more effective (powerful), or having a special effect (aiming), etc. It is done with the help of the weapon you start with, which is projectile-based. By defeating them, you get their contract. It is done mostly on foot, but some special fights are done piloting an airplane. Most of the challenges are confronting them, and fight them. It is only an aesthetic choice, it does not have gameplay impacts.Ĭollecting those debtors is done through levels that could be interpreted as a “boss rush” mode. This is where the gameplay starts for the heroes. If they agree to go collect the “soul contracts” of all debtors, he might change his mind. After begging mercy from the Devil, he decides to make a pact with them. Of course, as good storytelling goes, they lose. If they win this last round, they would earn the entire money the Casino owns if they lose, the brothers would give him their soul. Things go really well, so much that the Devil himself decides to go see them and place a bet. The story takes place on the Inkwell Isles, where 2 mischievous brothers (Cuphead and Mugman) wander from home and find the Devil’s Casino. So, the question is: what did I think of it, now that I finished it? In summary, it is a must-play title that every gamer must give a try, but you have to be aware of what journey you are embarking on. I don’t know if it’s because of this specific version, or my comfort with this controller, but still today, I am unable to finish it. ![]() I tried the initial version (on my original Xbox One), and I appreciated it. This last tidbit was what really shook me. On that same day, they announced a PS4 version of their beloved game and it was immediately available to play. A copy of the game was provided, courtesy of PopAgenda -Ī couple of weeks ago, Studio MDHR (the developers behind Cuphead) did quite a number of us. Now, as the current console generation ends, Cuphead conquers the last major player in the gaming market and remains as must-play as it has always been on other platforms.Available on: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC It is a landmark in video game aesthetics that has already seen imitators influenced by its style. Ultimate, Cuphead has made its mark on the gaming world. With a first look dropping for The Cuphead Show, coming later to Netflix, and an appearance as a Mii Fighter costume in Super Smash Bros. Sometimes, this can get frustrating, particularly as the 8-direction aiming system can feel clunky when trying to navigate Cuphead around impending danger. Players will die dozens of times before finally defeating a boss or level. The game demands you learn the behaviors of the enemies and master its mechanics, such as the parry system, in order to survive. Cuphead can't take more than 3 hits in levels that spray projectiles, enemies, and large attacks with little respite. Thankfully, blasting evil flowers and peppermints is fun, engaging, and surprisingly difficult. The days of Cuphead's Xbox exclusivity are long over, although StudioMDHR will provide bonus features for the Xbox version as a way to thank the game's original players.Ĭuphead could have provided forgettable, passable gameplay as a way to deliver its unforgettable visuals and soundtrack, and likely would still have been popular. Once again, the transition to the PS4 is seamless and plays largely the same to other versions. An upside of this style, besides its stunning visuals, is that Cuphead ports easily even to less powerful systems, a reason why the Switch version was successful. On top of the gorgeous, unique aesthetic is a wonderful jazz soundtrack to complete the vintage feel. Cuphead is inspired by the cartoons of the 1930s, and was meticulously created in the same method as the classics, with hand-drawn animation and painted watercolor backgrounds. Much praise been put upon Cuphead's presentation, and it deserves all the acclaim.

Cuphead sees players take control of the titular Cuphead or his brother Mugman in either single-player or two-player co-op.
