Cuphead Download For PC is an action game developed and published by Studio MDHR Entertainment. CupheadGame Download was released on 29 Sep 2017. The games art style is a tribute to 1930’s cartoons and the gameplay mechanics are a mish-mash of 90’s shoot-em-up side scrollers such as Contra, Metal Slug, and Gunstar Heros (more so the latter) and though there are a few ‘Run and Gun’ levels which involve platforming, collecting coins, shooting/avoiding enemies until you reach the end of the level, the games main focus is on boss fights, each being very unique from the last. The game itself is not easy either although I wouldn’t say it’s as hard as a lot of people make it out to be, it is very forgiving seeing as you’re able to retry bosses/levels at your own leisure rather than getting slapped with a game over screen after your continues are depleted.

The fights are completely fair too, although punishing should you lose concentration and mistime a dodge or not memorize the way certain attacks work and repeat the same mistakes over and over again until even the announcer begins to sound bored of announcing the start of battles. The audio/soundtrack is incredibly well done, all original music composed for this game sound in place for a 30s cartoon as do the sound effects. The controls are very arcadey with 8 directional shooting, single jump, descending platforms, and a special attack, but it also adds parrying and dash, which were way less common back then. Parrying is not the same as most games as you can only parry certain pink bullets or enemies by bouncing off them while in midair (working as a double jump). It does not shoot the projectile back at the boss but instead gives you one full card for your super meter, letting you use a special attack for the specified weapon you have equipped or a super attack if you hold 5 cards.

You can have two weapons equipped during a level and switch them instantly whenever you want. The weapons in the game are situational enough that I would switch them around for specific bosses, though the charge shot is currently a little too strong so I used it for almost every boss in expert mode when I found out its strength. But there’s still a good use for the other weapons since it doesn’t give crowd control like a spread shot and boomerang, and lobber (bullets that drop after being shot) and chaser (chases enemies) let you have better positionings on some bosses.
Every boss has multiple phases and is only 1-3 minutes long, but due to everything you gotta dodge all the time without many breaks just one minute can feel way longer. This is something I felt for Furi as well (another amazing challenging boss rush game I recommend). The boss phase transformations are very surreal and they can go from being a couple of Battletoads turning into a slot machine or a bird stuck in a birdhouse to a featherless bird carried in a stretcher spitting up its heart that attacks you.

You can choose between fighting them in simple or regular mode. The simple mode gives you linear patterns, while regular ones will be random, so you have to be more careful with what the boss will do next. You can only get a contract by playing in regular mode (required to advance the game), but the simple model is okay for practicing the patterns. The difficulty of the bosses curves really well too. It starts out a little rough, but gets really challenging on the second island, and even more so on the third island. Then the finale after that is a true Satan’s work.
