Aug 28th, 2018 at 15:11:08 - Cuphead (360) |
A friend of mine came to visit me last week and we decided to play Cuphead. I used to play as a single player, and most of the time I don’t even play online games. The two-person mode in Cuphead had blown my mind and the game had become much more interesting to play. Cuphead is a 2D shooting indie game. Character shoot “bullets” out from their fingertips. There are not many narratives going on, but the introduction tried to imitate illustration storybook, which I think they did a fantastic job, brought us right into the fantasy world back in 1930 immediately.
I personally think this game has the most unique art style, unlike anything, were seen in other games that I have ever played. 1930 American cartoons only stood out in the animation industry, but only a few applied this style to a game. The team hand-drawn instead of digital painting, which brought out the old school feeling that computer brushes couldn’t imitate. The idea is to promote that although digital art is the main streams in the game or cartoon industry right now, hand-drawing can still be a thing.
Each level is actually about three minutes long, however, due to the difficultness, annoying enemies, and hardcore boss fights, it might take a long time to beat the level. Once dying a few times in a boss fight, you will soon figure out there’s a stable pattern within the boss. Since the gameplay of each level is fairly short, the fixed pattern did not make the game boring. Tn duo player mode, the difficulty reduces a lot more so the game became less frustrated to play. When another player died, we can soon rush to his side and revive him. There are also special items to purchase but specially designed for duo players, not only you as a single player gets stronger, you and your friend both get stronger. I found it really interactive.
I only played it for two hours now, but I will definitely finish this game.
