Cuphead Raw Gameplay
At E3 this year, we gave out some awards. Our award for best retro inspired game went to Cuphead. Channelling the very best of Contra and Mega Man, Cuphead is challenging and rewarding in the most retro way possible. It also looks stupidly gorgeous with its 30’s animation looks. Today, we saw the game in action as 10-minutes of raw gameplay was released on YouTube.
The video (as you can see below) is courtesy of YouTube user TwoSixNine. The video includes a platforming stage, a view on the overworld, shopping between stages, and a boss battle.
Check out the video below:
Cuphead is a run and gun platform indie video game by Canadian brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer operating as Studio MDHR, drawn in the style of 1930s cartoons. As Cuphead, the player fights a series of bosses to repay a debt to the devil. The game was inspired by the works of 1930s cartoonists such as Max Fleischer’s Fleischer Studios and sought to keep the works’ subversive and surrealist qualities.
The game is scheduled for release in 2016 on Microsoft Windows and Xbox One.
