Cuphead

Very fun game definetly recomand everyone play this game nut its pretty to hard to get all the acheivements like me it took me so much time to s rank a boss in ilse 4

A hell of a lot easier than it looks, I've managed to beat the game and get all s ranks in isle 1 in about 10 hours (mostly in multiplayer), the game is way more easier in single player and could probably be done in 3 hours (story only). It's not super easy but people act like its ridiculously hard. Great game, enjoying it loads so far and hopefully will continue to, going forward.

Great game just a tad fustrating wouldnt really recommend to peopl with fast temper from experience although if you want to play it, it is very fun and just take little breaks

its a good game and fun bosses

dlc and base game is really addicting its very hard for people whom arent use to this style of game like myself but one u get use to it, it begins to become fun. but dont play this when u arent in a good mood cause it will make u mad from all the deaths and bs that will happen.

Its fun and if you finish the game you unlock expert mode and it gets more enjoyable for people who are searching for diffculty.

if you've played a bullet hell and are good at it (for example, terraria calamity) then this game is a cakewalk.

One of the best platformers ever made

Awesome style and gameplay, trully a work of art.

3 types of levels:
1. run and gun level-run around towards the right side of the screen and jump, dodge, and shoot your way to it's final boss. My least favorite type of level, solely because they are kinda slogs to get through and require rote memorization to get by, though certain things can be random, like flying enemies and when enemies.shoot. Then if you die at the boss you have to do it all over again. The bosses are forgetable and there's maybe 2 or 3 per chapter.
2. Boss level- Single screen fight with an animated entity, be it a duo of frogs, a sun flower, some sort of blue thing, and more. Very fun and inventive fights, with very rewarding animations. Each boss can have up to 3 or 4 phases, and if you die it shows you progress towards defeating them. The bulk of the game is made up of these levels, and are generally required for the plot.
3. SHMUP level- pilot a plane and kill everything that tries to kill you in a horizontal shoot em up! like i mentioned earlier, these are my favorites for a reason, the flight and dodge gimmick work really wonderfully here, and the 360 degree movement makes it much more fun to dodge and shoot than when you have to worry about gravity and the ground/death. The shoot em up type also incluides my favorite boss fight in the entire game, so that may be biased. These are also a mix between boss levels and run and gun in that the phases can dramatically change the type of game you are playing, and you are fighting the boss throughout the entire length of the level.

This is a challenging but fun and funny game. The animation was absolutely worth every effort put into every frame. the presentation is that of a 1940's cartoon, so it is purposefully grainy in visuals and sound quality. Controls are exceptionally responsive, and allow for auto fire by holding the button down, and several other options.

You can earn coins by finding them in the run and gun levels. Each level type has pink-colored enemies, gun fire, or anything else that moves on screen, that you can "parry" to help increase your power meter, represented by the cards in the lower left of the screen; you can also increase the meter by killing enemies and damaging bosses, but at a slower rate. Each parry earns one card (and each special attack uses one card) and five cards unlock your EX special attack, so timing its use is key to winning the long boss battles. The game starts you with one special, but more can be purchased with the aforementioned coins.

Each level has an easy mode, btw, if you just want to play for the story and animations, tho i'm sure something is not earned by doing the easy mode, the game encourages you to play the normal mode.

Eventually you earn a dodge, man, what a life saver that is. Buy it as soon as you can! forget getting new weapons, get that dodge first, and upgrade it asap too!

Great game if you're bored of normal platformers and want to be challenged! Also user friendly, as I'm playing with a broken finger.

Wow, I love Cuphead! It's one of the absolutely best games I have ever played! It's incredibly well made, the developers put so much love and effort into this game. The 30s cartoon graphics and the characters are very charming (I just dislike the redesign of Ms. Chalice, they made her less feminine). It's challenging, but it is designed flawlessly and totally fair. If you fail, then because you made an error, it' not the fault of the game. I love that in the time of meaningless casual games, there is still a very well made game where you require some skill. Sometimes I doubted if I can make it, but one minute later I felt the urge to try again, because it's so good. I beat the game and so can you!

-Supremely rewarding modern 2D shooter
-Offers a unique combination of art and sound, presenting one of the most funny and bizarre shows in the current game generation.
-Gameplay and co-op can hold many fun hours and a strong replay-ability attribute.
-Stunning achievement in both gaming and interactive art, and unlike anything I’ve ever played before.
-An amazing game filled with intricate bosses, incredible visuals and an addictive gameplay.

9/10

One of the best indie games, a game made with love, excellent art style, excellent music, everything is perfect, even the DLC. I don't see anything wrong with this game. It's totally worth playing alone or with others. It's very replayable. It's worth buying with the DLC and supporting this indie company.

this game is so fun! i would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a challenge. would recommend!

Cuphead is an absolutely gorgeous treat to the eyes. The 1930's cartoon aesthetic really holds up, 8 years later.

The gameplay is BRUTAL. Absolutely B R U T A L. This game is like if Mario platforming was combined with Dark Souls-level difficulty and the Mickey Mouse cartoon artstyle. You run, gun, jump and parry. That's all you have. And you need to fight against bosses with an entire arsenal of attack patterns. So be prepared to rage quit a hell of a lot.

The music. It feels old-school. While it isn't much to write home about, it does give off the classic jazz 30's vibes. Also noting that Floral Fury (played against Cagey Carnation) is also in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! That's worth noting.

While I would recommend, I would also not at the same time. This is an absolutely wonderful game in 2017, alongside Sonic Mania, Breath of the Wild, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Persona 5's western release. But it's also extremely hard. So don't get this if you suck at games. But if you love hard-af video games, this is one hell of a time.

...I'll see myself out.

This game provides the perfect amount of frustration, and addiction. It produces one of the biggest endorphin releases ever and I would recommend it to anybody who loves old cartoons. As a big fan, this game has been an extraordinary experience, yet I am very bad at it:) Play it and trust me that it has significant value.

I love it.Its challenging while intresting and good

good but hard game the dragon was making me struggle for a bit but finally got past

Honestly, this game might be not for me, cause each boss has sooo much small stuffs to notice.
I hasn't played this game online, coop mode, so I cannot be sure bout the difficulty of each boss when entering coop.

Amazing game. Not an easy one, but the difficulty level is fair. If you are a fan of classic animation, I would highly recommend it

Holy shit, this game is hard, but when you learn it and thrive its so fun. It is very frustrating to learn but once you do its so rewarding, you can finally say youve beaten one of the hardest games of all time

I've never try cuphead before and all in all this game is really hard. Even so , it's really good and challenging.
I actually completed in 6.8 hours playtime somehow. Highly recommend for anyone who love platformer game and willing to test their skills( If only you didn't mind the price it cost ).

Good game providing great amount of challenge and skill needed to beat this game, especially when trying to 100% the game steam achievement-wise. The art style and theme is also great. The only thing I didn't like is how I would die at least 50 times per boss just to learn how they work and it takes so long. But since that's just part of the game, I'm not too bothered. Overall, I enjoyed every moment of the game (that includes moments of rage) and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a challenge in gaming!

Going into this i thought i was gonna have a harder time in 100%'ing it, but turns out its not that bad!
Cool game and very high effort, you devs are awesome!!

Hand-drawn panels digitized for the game....difficult yet fair and rewarding...it's a classic.

Fun game

made me want to bash my head into a brick wall but still

Got this game years ago, played it every now and then with friends for fun. Finally, decided to finish the game and the DLC, and it was a crazy adventure. Beautiful animation, Balanced mechanics, Challenging bosses, I can't praise it enough. The passion put into this game really shows. I highly recommend it.

The gameplay is good and very difficult... but still fair.
But if I am honest: I wanted this game just becausse of the artstyle.

Cuphead is every bit as good as people say it is. Pitch perfect platforming, and gorgeous art. Some of the best ever put into a video game. They nailed the look of these cartoons. The DLC only adds better animations. It's a level of motion that's unreal. Seeing modern fighting game references put into this style is so weird, but it just works. There is a love for all kinds of animation, including animation in other games. I'm so happy this exists. It's the kind of game that seems impossible, and it's a game I'm lucky to enjoy.

Amazing game. the different learning curves that each boss gives makes the game constantly fresh. With that it is a very complicated game and can take quite awhile to learn the different attack patterns of most bosses.

This game has a lot of qualities but I'm sure you don't need to read a review to see them so I will share how I felt playing this game.

For the background, I come from Hollow Knight and souls games. I've over 700 hours on HK and I'm currently running Hitless P5 where I've a 1 hit PB. Not to say that I'm good at video games but I really love learning new stuff and mechanics, trying harder challenges and so on. I also took a 2 years break from this game and gave it a second chance. I will do a lot of comparison with HK because to me, its combat mechanics are probably the best of all time hands down.

Cuphead has been really painful so far, I've done around 80% of the levels and my experience has been quite constant. I will try to explain all the flaws I've seen so far if I can remember all of them on the moment.

First, Cuphead is all about shooting and dodging which brings us to the first flaw. Shooting is too easy. You barely have to aim or be positioned properly to hit the boss which means that your damage output between your first try and your last try will be very similar. This forces the devs to give bosses a massive health bar in order to compensate and forces you, the player, to hold the shooting key for the entire fight. The fights aren't even that long, but they feel 10 times longer. Sometimes you don't have any projectile to dodge, so you're just chilling, shooting the boss, waiting for something to happen eventually.

About the dodging, the screen is insanely hard to read. I'll admit, it might be a skill issue but I doubt I'm the only one who suffers from this. Literally everything on the screen is animated, not a single pixel stays the same color for more than a few milliseconds. Not only that but everything is very detailed, which looks nice, but takes a huge amount to scan, differentiate enemies from background, etc... The one more thing is that there are many side scrolling levels and many background.mp4 that just make it so hard to just see what's going on.

Second worst thing about dodging is the character movements. For example, holding spacebar can make you go higher than pressing it quickly, normal videogame stuff. But in this game for some reason it only affects the last 20% of your jump. So quick press = 80% and by holding you can do the last 20%. Many times you will need to jump over a small projectile but your character will be sent straight to the moon. You have no double jump and you can't jump after a dash. Limiting you heavily in your movements.

Since health points are forever lost when hit and you have no way to get them back, you can quickly arrive to the point where resetting after taking a hit too early becomes optimal. Something you might be used to when you do no hit runs. It's not fun in runs and it's not fun in this game neither. In HK, you can infinitely heal as long as you hit the boss. It is a strong mechanics but it get balanced as the bosses become faster and faster and you get less and less timings to heal.

That's a lot of bad talk on dodging for someone with a touhou pfp, I agree, but in touhou games your hitbox is quite small and your character has a huge freedom of movement. In Cuphead, you control that terrible Mickey from Fantasia.

I haven't talked about Run and Gun levels but I think those are very subjective. I think they're atrocious and I hate them but you might enjoy them. Also I find the score system kinda bad, beating a boss hitless then having a bad score because you didn't freestyle on some projectiles feels like a nerd saying uh acktually every time you beat a boss, cringe.

So, for a game that heavily focuses on boss fights, it really failed to make me enjoy any of them. They feel like a chore. Bosses are annoying, frustrating, irritating even. No fun allowed.
In the end, it's a dodging game with bad platforming mechanics.
But I will finish this game, because I want to see the rest of it and see if I'm missing something.

It's very good looking at it's price. I recommend this to people seeking for a challenge. I also liked the animations and enemies.

Amazing art and controller smashing gameplay

This game is fun until you lose 14 times in a row and you were EXTREMELY close to finishing the boss

This game is my favorite game of all time. I love this game so much that after beating the main game and DLC on Nintendo Switch, I bought the game on Steam simply just to support the game. Everything about this game, from the art, to the animation, to the music, to the fights and game mechanics, everything is absolutely amazing.

Art and Animation:
The art of the game is probably what gets most people to try the game for the first time. I tried the game for the first time because the 30's rubberhose style of animation they use as well as how every single frame of animation is hand-drawn with extreme detail. Along with every background in the game which are all hand-painted with watercolors, the style of this game is truly a work of art.

Music:
Every song in this game is composed in either a big band, jazz, or orchestral style by composer Kristofer Maddigan. The orchestra has over 100 members, and every track is composed in extreme detail. Some of my personal favorite tracks in the game are Baking the Wondertart, Snow Cult Scuffle, Botanic Panic, and Murine Corps. With how amazing this game's soundtrack is, there isn't a single boss theme in the game that I would say isn't good.

Fights and Game Mechanics:
The game has a decent variety of play styles you can choose with different combinations of weapons, charms, and super arts. There are some loadouts that are better than others, but I wouldn't say that there is a single loadout that is horrible. And although the game is very difficult, almost every attack seems fair, and 99% of the time when you die, it feels like your fault, not the game's.

If you enjoy the game, I would recommend buying the DLC, it's well worth the price. And in conclusion, I would say that this game is a 10/10. Absolute perfection.

This game oozes with passion. Sure, the game may be short and have fairly basic gameplay, but the sheer detail and love put into this game can be seen from a mile away.

bosses are hard but very cool! love the style, game, and show

Couldn’t get past the freaking dragon, but this game is awesome. The art style + music is phenomenal, gameplay is super tight. Didn’t get good enough to beat it, but loved my time with it.

I love this game its mad fun, yes i get upset at it and struggle but i didnt spend money on this game for it to be easy this game has lots of patterns and fights its a lot of fun to play with friends and or ur girlfriend if u have one

awesome game but very hard though, good game play (i cant beat the devil)

the best 2 player game for couples seeking for divorce with lots of fun.

I've played this game and got all achievements, this game is really fun and I highly recommend it! Sure it's pretty hard but that's what makes it fun!!!

I don't know if the devs are going to see this. This game has been out since 2017, 8 years and you still have not patched hildaburgs attack telefragging you on the orange wheel part. It's completely unfair, there is no indicator of where the projectiles are going to spawn. And it is the sole reason it took me 3 hours to beat the fight with an S rank. I find it funny that you usually make all attacks avoidable and fair by adding indicators to them. For for some GOSH FORSAKEN REASON, not this attack. So see to it that you fix it or my negative review stays and my opinion of your development team diminished.

this game is really addicting, But it will take some time to get every boss. 4.5/5 stars.

Great game and dlc is just as good. Worth the sticker price

it's challenging, really fun with a friend :] the good kind of rage

It gives me a very nice classic feel, and the gameplay is great, and the boss fights and stages are very difficult and beautiful, which is what makes it so attractive.

hard but fun. Great looks, really different than the other competitors
