Not to mention that you could through many levels that takes ages to beat just to be hit in the face with a locked finale that won’t open unless you go through the whole thing on a harder difficulty. Also, there are no ways to regain lost health.

That’s right, if you lose, you’re going to have to start over. You think if you chose regular difficulty the game would go easy on you? Well, not very much! For starters, the levels have no checkpoints. At every fight you’ll be amused with the accompanying music, all this with a hint of the 80’s design thrown into it.īut don’t let the cute colorful visuals and the lively music fool you into thinking that Cuphead is an easy one. If you roll the credit you’ll find that the list of musicians responsible for this musical festival is almost as long as the whole team in other sectors combined. The game will take you back with its music to the roaring 20’s and magical 30’s. It’s a great combination of Jazz, ragtime, swing, and big band. In short, every scene feels like a master art piece.Īt the same time, the sound pairs pretty well with the art. Many gamers believe that there would never be another game with the same visuals. The amazing 1930’s style with watercolor and the rear-projection can balance many elements in a way that will never feel confusing even in the most chaotic moments. The whole game feels like a memorial festival in honor of the famous animator Max Fleischer and his work. Everything feels hand drawn in a matchless tribute to this golden era of cartoon. Of course, the most obvious thing about Cuphead is the nostalgic 1930’s cartoon theme.

This watercolor madness will flood you with joy and horror at the same time.
