Classic, in the truest sense of the word, platformer, in which everything is sustained in the world of the 1930s. Music - jazz accompaniment, graphics - standard Disney of the time and bosses who are neither kind nor evil. They are trying to kill us, but we can try to destroy them countless times. IN Cuphead we choose one of two heroes and set off to conquer a world similar to very old cartoons, with a bunch of weapons, special moves and immortality.
A real example of hardcore gameplay and an unusual setting - the surroundings of Cuphead seem to mock the gamer. Do not be fooled: despite the cartoonish style of the image, this is sheer hell for the casual player - the most difficult platformer with shooter elements, made in the style of the era of the 1930s.
The user (and his friend, joint passage is provided) go on a journey full of unforgettable adventures, atmospheric locations and incredibly powerful, almost unkillable bosses. The protagonists are represented as mugs with arms and legs that shoot from their fingers, they and the rest look like classic Disney cartoons due to the hand drawing. But despite the frivolous setting, each level is a real test.
The game has a multiplayer mode. The platformer is classic because of its controls, but not because of the plot. If in other representatives of the genre the emphasis is placed on conquering the world, then in Cuphead the main task of the player is to cope with all the bosses that meet on the way. They may be weaker than the previous ones, but they help you get new weapons, learn tricks, see a new scene, or listen to a jazz composition. Good old music.
A special mood is also set by the soundtrack corresponding to the era of the thirties - mostly jazz and other compositions of a similar type that fit perfectly into the general, crazy atmosphere of the game. This is many hours of hard, incomparable battle, equally good at spoiling the nerves and delivering true pleasure..
The hero can easily parry objects in the air, reflect them using the studied combinations and techniques. But the basis of the game is still inflicting maximum damage on the boss. By the way, the bosses are sent to us by the devil, because Cuphead (the main character) must repay him a debt. The faster the protagonist gets to the devil, the longer it will take to repay the debt - physical or spiritual. Therefore, our hero seeks to destroy the entire devilish army in order to pay the minimum amount of debt.
