![]() Another great new addition is the Converge shot, which fires three full-screen projectiles in a wide spread, and that spread can be constricted by holding down the aim button. Another powerful one is the Coffee charm, which passively refills your super meter alongside all of the normal ways to build it, meaning you get access to your super moves far more regularly.Īs for the new weapons, I'm a big fan of the homing weapon called the Crackshot, which can be fired without worrying too much about aiming and has a special EX move that drops a turret, which can then be parried and launched into an enemy for big damage. Chalice also has a much worse single jump than Cuphead, so she has to use her double jump in order to get over certain obstacles that Cuphead would easily be able to clear her dash parry is great for objects coming straight towards her, but is harder to use than the traditional double jump parry in some situations and she’s unable to equip any of the other powerful charms that are available – like my new personal favorite, the heart ring, which rewards you with HP on your first, third, and sixth parries, essentially giving you the ability to double your HP if you can successfully parry a boss’s attacks. Some may look at that and think “oh, so it’s essentially an extra easy mode,” but that’s not quite right. Chalice, you’re unable to equip any other charms, but she comes naturally equipped with a double jump, a dodge that she can use while on the ground to roll through obstacles, a dashing parry that makes it much easier to parry objects coming straight at you, and most crucially, four HP instead of the standard three. There’s of course still an easier difficulty, but there are also a number of new charms and weapons that help tip the scales back in your favor, including the one that lets you play as Ms. All I can do at the moment is get beaten into the ground on the first 5% of it and never see anything else myself.While the mechanical difficulty of the bosses in The Delicious Last Course are cranked up, Studio MDHR is not without mercy. I at least want to be able to feel what it’s like to play the game. The closest I can get is watching somebody else and while some might say that having an easy mode isn’t really that different I don’t agree. But I can still watch them and get something out of it but I literally can’t play Cuphead and Elden Ring at all, even though I want to. It’s not like Twin Peaks or 2001 comes with an appendix explaining everything, which of course they shouldn’t have to. I get that the developers want it that way and it’s not my place to tell them what to do. So basically, these and other ultra difficult games are completely inaccessible to me and anyone else of my skill level (which I’d say was merely below average, it’s not like I’m completely incapable). I checked to see if you were able to pause it or if it had an easy mode and when I found out it didn’t, I didn’t even bother wasting my time (or, more importantly, my money). ![]() I’m sure you can guess how I get on with Dark Souls and co. That is the one and only bit of help you get from the game, which clearly doesn’t care whether you beat it or not. There is an ‘easier’ option, but not only is it still incredibly hard but it cuts out about a third of the battle itself and doesn’t give you the proper ending. There is no easy mode, as such, for Cuphead. I can only get to the first one and I can’t beat it, so I don’t entirely speak from personal experience. I only know how many there are by watching walkthroughs on YouTube. So you can imagine buying the DLC doesn’t sound like such a good idea, as much as it’s reminded me just what an amazing looking game it is.įor those that don’t know, Cuphead is basically a boss rush game where almost everything is boss battles except for about five run ‘n’ gun platform sections. I just can’t get any further and after hours and hours of trying I ended up very angry and with nothing to show for it. I can just about beat the first three or four bosses and that’s it. Or at least not usually.Īs much as I admire the graphics in Cuphead I found that it was well beyond my ability to play in terms of difficulty. Difficulty is much like comedy, I find, in that it’s very subjective and just saying a game is ‘hard’ or ‘easy’ doesn’t really mean much. I bought Cuphead when it first came out several years ago and while I’d read about the high difficultly that can mean just about anything in some reviews.
