With a lot of new utility, Cuphead feels fun to play all over again. And yes, it is stupendously satisfying when you kill a boss right after rolling through its most irritating attack. And yes, there are invincibility frames to it. Souls players, Elden Ring converts, and Hollow Knight stans, look sharp – yes, I did say dodge roll. Chalice can double-jump, dash parry, and dodge roll. You need to equip a charm to play as her – so maybe you don't get bonus life at the cost of damage output, or the ability to 'blink' and avoid damage whilst dashing in mid-air.īetter than that, though, you get access to her own style of combat Ms. Chalice can also do all of these things – with one caveat. The two impish cups had the option to equip charms and alter their supers, as well as modify the weapons they used to better get one over on bosses. In the base game, you could play as Mugman and Cuphead. We won't hear you, but you'll have fun!

Get your ears wrapped around VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. There's lots of fun to be had in the DLC, mostly because of Ms. The DLC is priced at a very agreeable $7.99 / £6.79, and adds quite a lot of new stuff to the overall Cuphead experience you get to traverse a brand-new Inkwell Isle, find new weapons and charms to add to your smorgasbord of nutty abilities, face off against 12 brand new bosses, and – most importantly – play as the once-banished Ms. She takes every aspect that made Cuphead's base game enjoyable and elevates it, taking the game from a hardcore curio into an essential, must-play all-timer. Rather, after finishing the DLC, I have to say the most impressive thing about it is the new playable character – Ms.
And pretty much anyone that's consumed any media over the past 100 years can look at Cuphead and say "I see what this game is doing, cool".īut the DLC doesn't just build on that aesthetic stuff, nah – that'd be too easy for a company as given to scope creep as Studio MDHR is. It's got enough traditional art in there to make even the non-gamer types go "alright, yeah, that's pretty impressive". Yes, it's a lofty comparison, but then Cuphead is a lofty game I'd argue it goes beyond just 'being a game' and is actually one of those rare projects you'd see happily installed in museums.
