![]() The fights, like everything else in the game, are packed with creativity and. Don't expect boring bosses here you'll be fighting things like frogs, zeppelins, mermaids, boats, and candy houses, all to a swinging Jazz Age soundtrack. From the stop-motion, claymation backgrounds that dress some tucked-away areas, to mind-bending stage transitions, and the commanding full orchestral score from composer Kristofer Maddigan, there’s not one aspect of The Delicious Last Course that feels undercooked.Ĭuphead: The Delicious Last Course is out now £6.79. Hearkening back to classic arcade run-and-gun action games, Cuphead is a string of merciless boss battles. You’re not here for the jumping, dashing, parrying, and platforming: you’re here because it’s a feast for the senses, and you want to have your eyes and ears delighted by a game unlike any other. But that’s not the point of Cuphead, not really. In this highlight from our Day of the Devs 2015 livestream, IDXbox's Chris Charla joins us as we play (and die to) the gorgeous and ridiculously difficult i.

Building on 2017’s acclaimed and notoriously challenging cartoon shooter, the studio spoons out 19 more bosses and a new playable character – the double-jumping, parry-dashing Ms Chalice, who you can take back into the older levels if you like – and dresses the plate with enough secrets to keep you chewing happily for well beyond the estimated four-hour runtime. This is par for The Delicious Last Course, the huge helping of extra Cuphead levels that developer Studio MDHR has been working on for the past five years. Featuring the classic hand-drawn 1930’s art style, this card and dice game emulates the side-scrolling, run-and-gun excitement from the video game. ![]() Success! She falls!
