Review Approach:

This game Is something unique, something that feels like, It's never been done before. (Also I payed the price of like, $20)
Cuphead Is a Run N' Gun game, like Contra, but more cartoony, and really hard, like Contra.
Long story short, In Cuphead, Cuphead And Mugman loved to gamble. One day, they lost In a bet for their souls to the Devil. Cuphead And Mugman made the Devil change his mind, but the Devil made Cuphead and Mugman to collect souls for him, and he wouldn't take their souls. The story itself Is pretty dark, for an Everyone 10+ game.

The game itself Is a very, very hard game. But the controls are really even, and comfortable for a 2D PC game. You shoot with X, jump with Z, and C, your finger, or gun, (finger gun) will hold still, and you can move your gun using the arrow keys while holding X.

Did I mention how hard this damn game Is?!?! Man! It's 2017's Contra! (Or I'm just bad at video games on PC. :unsure:)

Also the first level IS a Run N' Gun level, and If you played Contra with a keyboard, you probably would feel comfy with this setup, but me, no way.

Otherwise, this Is a really well thought out game. Very unique.

Here Is the trailer for this game:

  1. Hardware

    Tribit StormBox Micro 2

    Cramming a ton of features into a small package is a difficult feat on its own, but the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 manages all that and then some.

    Epomaker CoolKiller CK98 Keyboard

    Did Epomaker learn its lessons from the last RGB-ified outing, with the new CoolKiller keyboard?

    Dredge

    Indie title Dredge sails you out on a fishing adventure; but what looks like a cosy trip in the open seas can turn into a fight for survival after dark. Will you conquer the seas?

    ShowGunners

    Turn-based is definitely not my go-to, but ShowGunners definitely piqued my interest so I had to give it a whirl!

    Case of the Golden Idol

    Case of the Golden Idol was one of the most acclaimed games of 2022. With its first DLC releasing today, does it still live up to the hype?
