Our take on the Cuphead - Nintendo Switch

Cuphead is a run-and-gun action game from Studio MDHR, published on Switch by Skybound, drawn and animated in the style of 1930s cartoons with hand-drawn cels, watercolor backgrounds and original jazz recordings. You play as Cuphead or Mugman, solo or in local two-player co-op, fighting screen-filling bosses to win your souls back from the Devil. Its difficulty is the point: boss patterns are learned through repetition, and the run-and-gun stages are short but punishing. It stands apart from most Switch action games on presentation rather than length, and owners consistently rate it highly while warning that it is hard.

Questions and answers

Is Cuphead hard?
Yes. It is built around learning boss patterns through repeated attempts, and there is no easy mode. Expect to retry fights many times.
Can two people play on one Switch?
Yes. Local co-op lets a second player join as Mugman on the same console. There is no online multiplayer.
How long is the game?
It is made of short run-and-gun stages and boss fights. Most players take roughly 10 to 15 hours, longer if the harder bosses slow them down.
Does it include the DLC?
The base Switch release covers the original game. The Delicious Last Course expansion is sold separately unless a bundle says otherwise.
Is it good in handheld mode?
Yes. The art holds up on the small screen and the game runs smoothly, though the precise dodging can be easier with a controller on a TV.
Where is the Cuphead - Nintendo Switch cheapest?
At Walmart, for $30.97, as of our latest check.
