What is Cuphead? Easily explained

Cuphead is a video game. In this practical tip, we will tell you what this action game can do and for which platforms it is available.

What is Cuphead?

Cuphead is a Microsoft Jump and Run game for PC and Xbox One.
The game has been under development for many years and was released exclusively on September 29, 2017.
You start the game with a small tutorial, which explains the basic controls of the game. Then dive right in and see a small world map with different regions.
These regions contain challenges of varying degrees, all of which you have to master.
You can choose between simple jump and run opponents that you can easily defeat or the difficult boss fight. You must have defeated each boss once to get ahead.
The highlight: The game is completely represented as a comic. All figures and worlds are drawn by hand. This also explains the long development period of several years.

Why is the game so much in the public eye?

The game was constantly announced and presented in advance by the developer Microsoft.
Since the production of cartoons has been declining since 2004, Microsoft decided to develop the game in the charm of the 1930s.
This style seems to be well received because the game tests are consistently positive and the community is enthusiastic about the game.
This Cuphead Trailer was already shown at the E3 trade fair in 2015, and the game was voted the best indie game!
