Reza a lenda que a cada lua cheia inventa-se um DLC digno do seu preço de retalho; a comunidade gaming ainda sofre pesadelos com a famosa armadura para cavalo em The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. O The Delicious Last Course por 7,99€ (ou em conjunto com o jogo base por 26,99€) é, em bom calão português, uma autêntica pechincha.

O jogo base, apesar de ser delicadamente difícil, detém dos visuais mais originais no género, claramente inspirados pelos desenhos animados de Max Fleischer. Em conjunto com a jogabilidade dentro do estilo 2D Action-Platformer, e um enredo surpreendentemente lúdico, o estúdio MDHR conseguiu produzir um dos videojogos que mais se destacou na última década e este novo DLC veio reforçar a sua posição quiçá por mais uma.

Apesar de uma curta longevidade, The Delicious Last Course apresenta-nos novas armas, ,charms, alguns segredos por descobrir, seis novos bosses para defrontar e a introdução da Ms. Chalice como personagem jogável. Não é segredo que Cuphead é brutalmente difícil (porém justo!) e o estúdio decidiu manter essa mesma dificuldade tão característica, mas é aqui onde a Ms. Chalice pode fazer a diferença: apesar de não conseguir utilizar qualquer charm, ela traz consigo um duplo salto, uma esquiva para ultrapassar obstáculos, um dash parry e quatro pontos de vida.

Pode não parecê-lo, mas mesmo com estas benesses é uma personagem equilibrada e equiparável aos outros dois protagonistas. Outro ponto que me surpreendeu pela positiva foi o castelo do King of Games, uma mudança a pique dos níveis tradicionais até então por lutas com mini-bosses que premeiam a vitória com moedas para desbloquear o que for necessário.

Talvez o mais impressionante aqui seja a qualidade de tudo presente nesta nova aventura; são imensos mas pequenos detalhes nas várias animações tanto dos níveis em si ou dos bosses encontrados. Isto dita montanhas sobre o trabalho feito pelo estúdio MDHR e exemplifica muito bem a paixão e amor que existe por este projeto.

Posto isso Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course, pelo preço solicitado, apresenta excelentes razões para amantes do título base não obstante a sua curta longevidade. Numa última nota pessoal não sou grande fã da dificuldade ou até do estilo artístico empregue, mas mérito e reconhecimento tem de ser atribuído quando este é merecido e neste caso todos os indivíduos presentes na criação deste videojogo estão de parabéns.

What a blast to play with a friend. When I first bought the game, it was fun. But not much more. But when you play it with a friend, it's an absolute blast. If you know someone who is competent at gaming. Please play it with them, it makes beating hard bosses so much more satisfying. There is no feeling like finally beating a boss you struggled with for a solid hour


This review contains spoilers

Cuphead takes everything that makes challenging games fun and ups the ante to another level. The game requires complete divided attention as your eyes ping-pong from Cuphead, to the bosses' subtly designed animations and projectiles flying towards the player at every moment. There's little room for error or you risk taking a hit that could jeopardise your entire fight.

The bosses themselves are so cleverly thought out and beautifully hand-drawn to clutch to the aesthetic of 1930's era of cartoons. The art style alone is what sets Cuphead apart from the rest as it's so iconic, that even seeing a still frame image of the game lets the player know exactly what they're looking at.

The music is bombastic and triumphant, and carries much of the 1930's attitude behind it; with trumplets blaring and voices having distortion laid over them, Cuphead is a faithful re-imagining of the history of animation and cartoons alike.

Cuphead is an incredible game and definitely one that everybody needs to experience in their lifetime. There is so much passion, thought and love put into this game, that it is worth every cent spent.

The DLC is worth it the animation is so pleasing to the eye, and the base game while challenging, accompanied by great soundtrack you just cant mad at it for long. The DLC OST also a banger and the bosses are very unique lmao

actual one of the best games of all time

Alone, these two games are just 9/10s. Together, they make up for each other's shortcomings and become a full 10/10.

The game has some of the best music of any video game ever. It is so catchy and so much fun to listen to. Then beyond the music, the game itself is incredibly fun and challenging. The DLC just made the game that much better and added to the experience.

I would just say that some of the bosses are too hard for me and I spent way too long on some of them. Now I just rematch the same few bosses that were more fun to fight, like High-Noon Hoopla and Carnival Kerfuffle.

If you like self torture look no further than Cuphead. Music and presentation are top notch, gameplay is as tight as it gets, and every mistake feels like your fault instead of the game's. Worth the price of a AAA title but always significantly cheaper. This is a can't miss title

So much fun I bought the soundtrack vinyl

the base game of cuphead is a really fun and visually spectacular gauntlet of mostly well designed bosses that really stick in your mind
but the dlc adds so MUCH to this game, especially in terms of bosses. the ones here are ten times ase charming, colourful and creative as the ones in the main story, the side content added is super engaging, and ms chalice adds a really interesting new playstyle that really bolsters this game's replayabilty
it really feels like the devs turned up everything strong about cuphead up to eleven in this dlc, and in addition to the main game cuphead is now a near perfect complete package.

Gorgeous hand drawn animation, great asthetic, fire music. It's a great boss rush run and gun platformer. I like it slightly less than some do but that's fine I still think it's great. I don't know if the Delicious Last Course was worth the 5 year wait, but it was just more of what made the original so beloved and highly praised. Miss Chalice is a fun character to play as. I've done every main level, but I guess I didn't beat all of them on normal difficulty so I can't fight the two final bosses? That's so lame lol. Not gonna lie I don't think I care enough right now to go back and redo the levels I did on easy again but much harder. But maybe some day. That's definitely my biggest gripe.

Un videojuego excepcional.

Arte, música y animación excelente. La originalidad y las mecánicas de los jefes ganan a medida que pasa el juego.

Duro, pero muy recomendable.

any future game that releases could possibly never have as much care poured into it as cuphead does, it took ages for cuphead to come out but thats because they made sure this was not a rushed product and it really isn't, game of the ever
