Styled after 1950s cartoons, you might expect Cuphead to be an easy, light-hearted adventure. While it is light-hearted, it’s no walk in the park.
The game starts with an ill-fated deal with the devil. You play as Cuphead, who inadvertently becomes the devil’s debt collector. Luckily, you can bring along your brother, Mugman, to help take down everyone on the devil’s list in hopes of earning your freedom. While challenging, taking on unique, well-designed boss encounters with a fantastic art style is very fun — especially when you bring a friend.
