Cuphead stars brothers Cuphead and Mugman, who lose a bet with the Devil at a casino. To save their souls, they agree to collect debts from runaway souls across the Inkwell Isles, which means fighting a long list of bosses.
Studio MDHR spent years hand drawing every frame in the style of 1930s cartoons, with watercolor backgrounds and a live jazz soundtrack. The Delicious Last Course DLC in 2022 added Ms. Chalice as a playable character and a new island.

Cuphead Gameplay Overview
Most levels are boss fights with multiple phases, plus a few run and gun stages. You shoot with different weapons, called shots, parry pink objects to build super meter and use charms that change your abilities. Each battle is short but tough, and learning patterns is the key.
