Arguably one of the most challenging 2D action platformers ever released, Cuphead feels like a love letter to classic run-n-gun games like Contra III, Mega Man X, and Gunstar Heroes.Īside from its ability to take players on a rollercoaster of pain, frustration, and occasional bliss, what truly sets Cuphead apart is its unique 1930s cartoon-inspired visuals. Anyone who picks up Cuphead expecting a feel-good Saturday-morning cartoon is quickly reminded they’ve come to the wrong game.
