When I heard that this expansion was finally coming out after 5 years of waiting I was beyond excited. 2022 felt like the year of cuphead in alot of ways yet this truly felt like the franchises final hurrah in alot of ways, and what a hurrah it was. The animation in this one goes from the 1930s rubberhose that the style is known for, to full on disney movie quality animation and its truly a joy to watch. The game also features the best bosses in the game, with music just as amazing as the main game thankfully. Ms.Chalice is an amazing addition that I am very much thankful for. Its a more accessible character while not being a straightup easily mode, with her double jump and dash parry and extra health making her better than the boys to me, though shes less capable at actually fighting. I still used her to beat the game though, and it was very much satisfying. Especially for the parry bosses that give you extra coins, I didnt know if they were gonna add runandgun stages so this was an amazing compromise, and ingeniously designed. There isn't really much to say, this is genually one of the gold standard for dlc for me. And for fucking 10 dollars this is simply a must own alongside the original that is highway robbery my god. I'm eagerly awaiting what MDHR will do next and I cant wait to see it regardless of what it'll be.

Also the final boss is genually one of the best bossfights ever made this is spoiler free but my god I cant believe it its so good
