Kids have been obsessed with this game/characters for years. Toys, books, blankets. Also very hard.

Don't deal with the devil 😈

Is "Don't deal with the Devil" just the original/base version? I've never heard anyone refer to it as that-Everyone just calls it "Cuphead"

Yeah, that's the base game. Basically the game's tagline.

Best to approach this binge/purge style. Took me a few years on and off to beat it but the quality was always there and great art/music.

Had this a couple months. This is the kind of game where you need to take breaks. one level would take me 1-10 days depending on its difficulty. Its all about learning patterns and finding the most efficient way to approach a boss.

Loved the game, but its definitely not for everyone. If you grew up with a Gameboy you will probably be used to its difficulty. its all about timing jumps. and bosses and memorizing levels.

EDIT: I'm currently stuck on the King Dice level.

I'd say it's more like Contra and it's Contra hard.

Purchase a custom made standup arcade with this game like 2 years ago. Very unique style. Insanely difficult. Worth a look. Also Netflix has a series based off this game that is super

My kid is 5 and he's great at Cuphead. He can't play mega man. Or super Mario world.

This game is well priced and creates goodwill. I'll always respect the creator for striking a balance. The first game where I don't mind paying for dlc. This and shovel knight. They actually give value for what u pay and keep it simple as oppose to other companies with their micro transactions on digital consumables. Worst are the consumables with finite quantities.

You know what I wish? I wish the developer for cuphead make a pro wrestling video game. That would be awesome.
