Cuphead
Cuphead is the long awaited run and gun 2D side-scrolling title from developer Studio MDHR. Clearly inspired by 1930s cartoons, its gorgeous cel shaded graphics and brilliant audio design scream the classic cartoon design of that era.
Gameplay had originally been touted only as boss battles, but has since been updated to include traditional platforming levels as well, hence the game’s frustratingly long development period. We’re expecting Cuphead to echo brutal platformers of yesteryear such as the classic Megaman games, which, in combination with its own dazzling aesthetic flavor, makes it one of the most exciting indie projects to grace the Xbox One.
Now, if we could only get a firm release date for it….
