Cuphead (micro-review)

"Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings."

The “Overview” sums up the game pretty well. I really like both the art style and the soundtracks. The pacing of the game is very intense and fits well with short bursts of playtime. Cuphead is not about memorizing everything because attacks don’t always come in the same pattern, so you’re force to develop your reflexes. Usually, you can anticipate the next attack by a short “wind up”. I’m a bit bad at this type of games, so I found it quite difficult, but this made beating levels even more rewarding.

Rating: Mugman is the Luigi of “Cuphead”.
