Characters shoot energy blasts from their fingers, and there is a wide range of upgrades and powerful moves to select from. The combat in Cuphead is comparable to games like Megaman. Both characters are controlled on the same screen, as you go through a mix of platformer-esque and boss battles together.
The co-op experience is akin to platformer games like the New Super Mario Bros. It feels like you’re playing through an old-school Disney animation. The game’s world and characters all feature a 1930s cartoon aesthetic. You’ll explore a world bursting at the seams with personality, completely made up of traditional hand-drawn art. Players take control of the sibling duo, Cuphead and Mugman. Cuphead allows for couch multiplayer with up to 2 players. There’s also the chance that you blast through the levels (literally), and the bond with your co-op partner grows stronger than ever.
The game is fun, and frustrating, and if you end up hating your friend afterward – don’t blame us. Put your friendship to the test in the run-and-gun world of Cuphead.
