He was charismatic, he was flamboyant, and as expected, he was also transparently devious. I must say, however, hearing him voice King Dice really took my by surprise. Now I’ll be honest, I’ve never watched anything with Wayne Brady. But after seeing that little teaser trailer featuring King Dice voiced by Wayne Brady, I can now say that I am very excited. Maybe I’ll beat it with my buddy one day, but for now, I think I’ll just be excited for the Cuphead show.īack when it was announced, I was just intrigued. Believe me, it gets even harder from there. That’s just a small dip in the water of what the bosses of Cuphead are like. I’m not gonna lie, it felt like I ran a marathon. It took my buddy and I over a dozen attempts, but we eventually beat her. Was that even her name? I can’t really remember, but all I remember is me cursing and having to take a few breaths before trying again. Oh, and one of my personal favorites, the sugar queen with a castle made of actual cake. The bosses you fight, including a killer sunflower, two frogs with boxing gloves, and an evil genie, are some of the most wildest cartoony things you’ll ever see. Now the plot of the game is all about going through several levels that lead to some of the hardest boss battles ever. My advice: call up a buddy and have him play with you, because Cuphead is seriously meant for co-op. It’s probably because the game is so hard, you just feel like you have to continue it. This was a unique and unusual style for a modern video game, but developers and publishers Studio MDHR made it work.
All of these characters, especially when they debuted back in the day, are a good representation of what Cuphead is like.
Think of Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Mr. This was the primary style of cartoons during the golden age of American animation from the late 1920s to the late ’60s. Cuphead is a run-and-gun style game inspired by rubber hose style of animation. I’m not just saying that because it’s hard. The thing about Cuphead is that it’s really unlike most games that I’ve played.

How can a show based on one of the hardest games ever possibly work? I mean, we know how most video game TV and movie adaptations turn out, so gamers should be skeptical. As someone who played the game (and never beat it), this news really intrigued me. I want to talk about Cuphead because back in 2019, it was announced that we’ll be getting an actual show about the titular character and his brother. Sounds silly, I know, but just give the game a try and you’ll quickly learn that it is anything but silly. As the names suggest, both characters are a cartoony cup and a mug with bodies that resemble that of Mickey Mouse. Well, it’s actually about the titular character Cuphead and his brother Mugman. Yeah, it would take us an hour or two just to beat one, but that’s really the name of the game. I’ve played the game several times at a friend’s house and I remember dying over and over again, but eventually beating one boss at a time. Now don’t get me wrong, just because it’s ridiculously hard, doesn’t mean it’s no fun. Why, you ask? Well, just play the game for just a few minutes and you’ll find out exactly why. If you ask any gamer what are some of the hardest games they’ve ever played, they might mention Cuphead.
