Despite these upgrades though, you'll need plenty of skill if you want to overcome the game's exceptionally challenging stages. In addition to the standard peashooter starting gun, you can unlock charge, homing, lob-shot weapons, and much more. You earn coins as you progress through stages, which can be used to unlock several fun alternative weapons and power-ups.

You'll earn a rank based on how much health you have left after the fight, how long the stage takes you, and several other factors. While simply beating a boss is an achievement in itself, the game has a ranking system that judges your performance in each battle.

There are a wide variety of cool bosses and settings, so each fight feels completely new and unique. Players can access boss fights and stages in whatever order they see fit, as the game is broken up into three sections of Inkwell Isle, with a new section opening up once you've completed enough bosses. That said, you'll need to finish every boss in the game on Regular mode in order to beat the game. There are two difficulties for each level, Regular and Simple, so if you're struggling at all, there's always an easier option. Controls are simple and straightforward, with most of the difficulty coming from the game's tough stage layouts and boss patterns. GameplayĬuphead is essentially an entire game of boss fights, with a few run and gun levels littered in for good measure.

With his objective clear, Cuphead (and Mugman) head out on their adventure. In order to save his soul, Cuphead will have to travel across the Inkwell Isles, defeating bosses and preserving their souls for the Devil's use. Unfortunately, the dice roll does not play out in Cupheads favor, forcing him to strike up a deal with the Devil to save his soul. If Cuphead can make one final dice roll, he'll win all the money he could ever want, but if he loses, the Devil will take possession of his soul. The Devil, noticing their greed, presents them a tantalizing bet. Their luck improves throughout the night, with the pair earning excessive amounts of cash and riches. One day, while living in the peaceful land of the Inkwell Isles, our hero Cuphead (and optionally, his brother Mugman) takes a trip to the Devil's casino. Like many of the classic games that Cuphead pays homage to, the story is very straightforward with a classic hero versus villain story.
