![]() It's a good thing, too, because without its stratospheric level of visual and audio appeal, Cuphead would alienate all but the most determined players. The fights, like everything else in the game, are packed with creativity and personality. Don't expect boring bosses here you'll be fighting things like frogs, zeppelins, mermaids, boats, and candy houses, all to a swinging Jazz Age soundtrack. Hearkening back to classic arcade run-and-gun action games, Cuphead is a string of merciless boss battles. Developer StudioMDHR Entertainment said they meant for it to be a challenge, and boy, did they succeed.

This is, visually speaking, the most unique game made in years. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's important for parents to talk about gambling and additions (smoking, drinking) as tools by which some people become victimized because without that message you run the risk of children missing the message and having the game merely normalize those environs by which corrupt industries and individuals victimize others.

Thematically, the game delves into undeniable moral bankruptcy, and is somewhat of a learning opportunity. What makes it special is not being awed by stunningly beautiful images or immerse-ment, but quaint throwback production values. Beating each scenario is hard, but failing is a small setback-just try again requiring maybe up to 2-3 minutes-and practice perseverence.Īrtistically the game is a bit of a treasure with its retro drawn graphics. Generally each scenarios is a shoot-em up battle with nothing more complex than early arcade consoles, lasting a few minutes. OODLES OF BRAND NEW ANIMATION AND ART!
