  • Abstract:  Graphics have come a long way in the last 30 years. Gamers had to rely solely on their imagination back in the days of text adventures. Single pixels became the heroes in multiple adventures during the early 80s. By the 90s, characters started to show mor...

  • Reviewed on Nintendo SwitchCuphead is frustrating but fair. It's about incremental improvements over hours of practice. You need to constantly learn new tactics as each boss fights differently, and the penultimate battle is particularly inventive. No ma...

  Published: 2017-10-06, Author: Rick , review by: Bit-Tech.net

  • Abstract:  It's fitting that Cuphead is about making a deal with the devil, because StudioMDHR's game is just as sly, merciless, and cruel as the clovenfooted man downstairs. Cuphead lures the player in with its delightful animation, promising a luxurious bath of c...

  • Abstract:  In the 1930s, employees at Universal Studio Cartoons devised a game to interrupt the bow-backed routine of inking cels and preparing animation frames. The men would work rubber bands and clumps of spit-mulched paper into spongy balls, hide them on their l...

  • Every aspect of the joyful presentation was made with the utmost care, Clever boss fights test your mettle and mastery of the tight controls, Plenty of replay value in co-op, Expert mode, and the search for secrets, Challenging in all the right ways
  • No online functionality (yet)
  • A potent cocktail of authentic 1930s aesthetics, jazzy tunes, ingenious boss designs, and gameplay founded on the fundamentals inherent to the best 2D shooters. Cuphead sure is swell...

  • Incredible '30s-style cartoon visuals, Challenging boss battles and imaginative boss design, Different combos of arms and charms help you improve your odds, Every bit as addictive as it is tough
  • Arguably crosses the line into stupidly difficult, Can be hard to pull off key parry move
  • I love Cuphead for its challenge. I died plenty of times beating each boss, but my first instinct was to hit retry. This level of difficulty will likely prove too much for some, but for me, it's exactly what I want from this sort of old-school platformer...

  • If you love those old-school games that rewards practice and patience through trial and error, Cuphead will likely delight. Yes, Cuphead is brutal and death is a regular occurrence, but it packs in that old-schoool arcade ethos that makes you want to keep...
