Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings.

CUPHEAD Score: 10/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Art: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Experience: 9/10 Story: 8/10 this game is so brilliant and so well made and I absolutely hate it and I am seriously going to cry. It's hard, but just a perfection of a game.
Incredible videogame. Miraculous that beyond the immediately fascinating hand-crafted visuals and spectacular soundtrack, they managed to create such a solid and challenging game. Within the main progression and achievements, it is fair and very rewarding. The DLC content is very polished and also introduces new movement options and playstiles in the progression. It's certainly for enjoyers of platformers and for those looking for hitless-adjacent challenges. The fun of the game is improving in the situational use of the shots and charms, getting the movement down, and learning attack patterns. Beware of the wonky default keyboard controls and the inconvenience of setting up two-player mode. {About the hour count: I started playing on the xbox store in 2018 and have 87 hours there. Buy it on Steam; I encountered no bugs playing it here, while the other version was a bit of a headache.}
Probably the best hours i've had i a long time 10/10. Completing the game at 300% is worth it.
funny and interesting game, definitely recomended!
Gra dla masochistów, którzy mają więcej czasu niż chęci do życia. Gra sprawia, że chcę wyjść na dwór, i o tym wszystkim zapomnieć. Lecz mimo wszystko, wracam do niej, i gram dalej, kontynuując tą nigdy nie kończącą się torturę. Kocham tą grę za to. A tak na serio to: + Grafika przepiękna, niczym kreskówka z dawnych lat + Mechanika tak trudna że gra nie kończy się szybko + Muzyka po prostu cudo Szczere 10/10. Polecam serdecznie
This is one of my favorite games of all time. The Art and Music are great. If you're not used to the games of old this game is rather challenging. You need to learn the patterns and rhythms of all the levels. So much fun!
Great platform game combined with great visuals and gameplay. It took me 21 hours to complete both the main game and DLC. I could probably get some more playtime if I wanted to achievement hunt. Would recommend especially if you fancy a challenging platformer.
One of the games I kept putting off because I thought it'd be too hard. Finally gave it a shot... and I instantly regretted not playing this masterpiece sooner. The DLC? Already buying it without a second thought. Soundtrack — 10/10 Bosses — 10/10 World Design — 10/10 Boss Design — 10/10 Overall — 10/10
Well made game and if you liked the sow you are going to love it! Prepare to try to kill some of the bosses several or more times like in souls game. Pretty sick art. It is basically a boss battler with pretty basic map to go from boss one to boss two and occasional other challenges (like platforming speed levels). However it is not a good co-op game. Co-op makes it much harder especially if you play with someone weaker than you. It will make the game impossible as bosses have twice as much HP and you lose your time saving your teammate and lose your focus because of the chaos on the screen (too many shots everywhere and because it is not a split screen I sometimes thought I was the other character) Better enjoyed solo or with two very skilled players. Do not get this if you do not like difficult games in which you must do one thing over and over again in order to learn boss patterns.
A good day for a swell battle! This match will get red hot! Here’s a real high-class bout! A great slam and then some! A brawl is surely brewing!
