CUPHEAD PC - REVIEW

Hello wonderful steemians, it’s another bright day again, hope we are having a great week ahead. Today, I’m bringing to the community another amazing game review. It is an exciting game the community will love and appreciate. Everyone will love this one, both the young and the old, and also any gender. I will be making a review on a 2d action game. It is a game played by gamers and non- hardcore gamers, most especially the non- hardcore gamers. So I will like everyone to sit back and relax as I review the amazing action game.
If you missed out my previous game review on Caveblazers, you can find the post here

BRIEF OVERVIEW
Firstly, Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game that is heavily focused on boss battles. The game is highly inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio of the game are created with the same techniques used in the 1930s era. In this case, traditional hand drawings and animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings was the techniques used.

Secondly, Cuphead offers a unique combination of art and sound. Its gameplay and co-op mode can hold many fun hours of play. Play as Cuphead or Mugman in single player or local co-op as you travel through strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super and amazing moves, and discover the hidden secrets while you try to pay your debt back to the devil.

Finally, Cuphead is a perfect blend of difficulty and good design. Its difficulty probably lies behind its continuous pushing to convince you to continue, whether it’s the position you were through the fight, or the mocking message you recieve when you die to push you on, it really does a good job in trying to make you want to play further.

GENERAL REVIEW
Firstly, Cuphead borrows many of the design ideas from the older games, but really rounds off the edges in various ways to make it a much more fun and entertaining.
Secondly, Cuphead demands that you learn and find the best way to survive attacks, sometimes needing to split your attention between two or three different on-screen threats and rapidly navigate them into constantly-moving safe zones.

Thirdly, in cuphead, you also get a sizable amount of weapons and perks, which can be changed for every encounter.
Finally, Cuphead requires you to stay on your feet, reacting on the go since attack patterns are randomized and always thrown together with different timings.

GAMEPLAY
Firstly, a world map sets the stage for your adventure. As a Cup-thing who gambled with the devil, you must go around collecting debts from the game's bosses. Outside of one-on-one fights, you also have a few opportunities to run and gun through less-imposing stages. These help break up the action and give you a chance to collect coins that can be traded in for weapons and passive buffs. The Coins are in short supply and can only be collected once, so farming to gain an advantage is out of the question.

Secondly, the mix of ammunition for your hand gun, character fire from their fingers which includes the likes of a spread shot, a charge blast, and a boomerang shot. There are six in all, and each comes with a secondary attack that is linked to a meter that fills when you successfully land shots on enemies. Also, you can earn meter by parrying pink projectiles and enemies, a challenge that requires you to jump towards an enemy and then tap jump again at just the perfect moment before impact.
Thirdly, given that you are able to equip two weapons at a time, the variety of loads you can equip before a fight allows for flexibility on your end. While you may also benefit by bringing a specific set of arms into some boss battles.
Finally, learning the bosses' attack pattern oftentimes is the key of the battle, and it is not unusual to run through a fight multiple times until you see everything that might get thrown your way. Every boss fight consists of multiple stages. Bosses will change their shape, position, and behavior with each new phase. And within a single phase, you may encounter as many as four different attacks, not guaranteed though. When the bosses begin to mix multiple attacks at the same time, the potential for various deadly combos keeps you alert no matter how conversant you are with the fight.

CONTROLS
Cuphead feels perfect to control.

GRAPHICS
The visuals in this game is gorgeous. The most obvious point is that Cuphead looks amazing. Its 1930s animation style, all watercolour backgrounds, hand-drawn characters. There has never been a game that looks like this and there may never be again. Every scene of the game is a masterwork. It is a wonderful achievement for an art style.

SOUND AND MUSIC
The sound and music quality of this game is good. The sound and music is an ideal match. With a huge library of high-tempo ragtime, swing, big band, which makes Cuphead feel truly out of time, and its bizarre mix of ‘30s aesthetics and ‘80s design headier than ever.

VERDICT
Cuphead is a quality action game with an exciting gameplay. Cuphead can make you feel feel better and worse than any other game, but with lots of fun moments. Cuphead is incredible for more than just its looks. But before you dive in, make sure you actually want a game that plays like this, and not just a game that looks like this.
