![]() ![]() To play Cuphead, you must accept that you’re going to fail and then fail again over and over. While it can be hard, it is never unfair. It has been some time since I last felt this addiction to progress. However, it’s that frustration that leads to that satisfying feeling that only comes with success. What’s the reason for this? Well to put it simply, Cuphead can be a frustrating experience. However, the average gamer will likely struggle to witness all that it has to offer which is a massive shame. It’s a pity because Cuphead is a game that literally everyone that loves the medium should experience. Much like Dark Souls, this isn’t a game for everyone. I’ve seen some people compare it to Dark Souls and I can see why. The game also has a two-player local cooperative mode that allows another player to play as Mugman.Ĭuphead is the type of video game that you just won’t be able to stop playing until you feel like you’ve succeeded. Player characters feature a parry attack that can be used on certain objects marked in pink, to various effects the most important of them being increasing a “super meter” that enables more powerful attacks.Īfter completing a level, the player will be ranked with a grade based on their performance, through factors such as the time taken to defeat a boss, damage taken/avoided, and number of parried attacks. The player can purchase weapons and “Charms” (special abilities) from the shop using coins collected from the run-and-gun levels. Cuphead has infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. The game also includes role-playing elements, and a branching level sequence. They visit Elder Kettle, who gives them a potion that allows them to fire blasts from their fingers to aid in their quest, but also warns them the debtors may change themselves to different things in attempt to stop them.Ĭuphead’s gameplay is based around continuous boss fights, with interspersed run and gun levels. The Devil makes a deal with them: collect the “soul contracts” that signify his ownership of the souls of his runaway debtors by midnight the next day, and he might let them keep theirs. Cuphead loses by rolling snake eyes, and he and Mugman beg for mercy. If Cuphead and Mugman can win one more roll, they will receive all the money in the casino if not, the Devil will take their souls. When they go on a winning streak, the Devil himself offers to raise the stakes. Against the elder’s warnings, the brothers enter the Devil’s Casino and begin playing craps. On the fictional Inkwell Isles, Cuphead and his brother Mugman are two fun-loving kids who live under the watchful eye of Elder Kettle. I’ve been waiting a long time to play it and now I have, was it worth the wait? Developer & Publisher StudioMDHR delayed Cuphead time and time again until it was entirely ready. Believe it or not, the game was originally revealed at E3 in 2014. Cuphead, has anyone heard of this game? It released in 2017, sold two million copies and won numerous awards in that year.
