Cuphead: Retro-style run and gun game with stunning 1930s animation, challenging boss battles, and toe-tapping jazz soundtrack. Good luck defeating the Devil!
Cuphead was almost a completely different game: initially, it began as a project featuring a character that could shoot in all directions, but it had no cups for heads or the signature 1930s animation style until later in development.
Cuphead's challenging gameplay is inspired by classic run-and-gun games like Contra, and its developers implemented a tough but fair difficulty curve to honor that era.
