VIDEO: TO PLAY 'CUPHEAD' YOU HAVE TO FAIL AT PLAYING 'CUPHEAD'







To come across video games that carry some badass storyline or to achieve levels to go through and attack aliens somewhere in Egypt? Sounds a bit out of this world, but coming across the much-anticipated 1930s cartoon art style video game was the best thing that happened all year long (and I am not even a video-game-fanatic). 

Cuphead is a new 2D run-and-gun shooter from StudioMDHR. In today's acidly toxic gaming culture, it is stunning to come across a game like this, even though you are confronted by a Devil and having to collect souls, the game can have all of us laugh at how easy it may seem? – hold that thought – watching the gameplay video by theRadBrad will make you reconsider 'easy'. 

Throughout the game, you get to collect coins to buy interchangeable items that help you defeat Cuphead's many bosses. Cuphead is a game in which boss fights are a religion, where the frantic dance of dodging and leaping over projectiles and firing peas at angry carrots and honestly, I am never looking at carrots the same again!

Cuphead isn't a game that wants to be hard for the sake of being hard; it's a game that teaches you to both learn patterns and think creatively to overcome challenges.

It's rare to see this kind of screw-up-once-and-die difficulty in today's games, but Cuphead shows concept can still thrive. More importantly, it shows it can still be fun. The breathtakingly fantastic 1930s art style, which captures the surrealism and trembling energy of cartoons without the current of casual racism seen in their original shorts for Betty Boop and Popeye the Sailor. As a whole, it's a throwback to a time when games were usually content to be little more than games.

Cuphead can be purchased online and is available on Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.
