Bought the DLC after 100%ing Cuphead. The creativity on display for Cuphead and its DLC is just off the charts. I'm so glad that this visual style exists in video game form. Oh, and the game behind it is also extremely challenging and fun.

StudioMDHR could have given us DLC that only included the 6 or 7 bosses that are in this 8€ package and could have called it a day. It would have been a lot of fun either way. But no, apart from the - once again - such unique bosses in terms of presentations and attack patterns, this DLC also gives you access to a whole new playable character (Ms Chalice) and her own skill set. New super arts, a different parry style, ability to dodge and jump twice and the ability to do a lower dodge to gain a second of invincibility.

On top of that, there is a secret boss fight AND a really worthwile arena with 5 additional "boss fights" where attacks are disabled and you can only win by parrying. Then there is the final gauntlet level for this mode where you have to defeat all of them back to back, as well as an optional relic that you can get in a cursed form (if equipped, you start fights at 1 HP and your attack is randomized every time you start shooting) and turn into a divine form by beating a certain number of bosses with it equipped, and ultimately, this DLC will provide you up to 10 hours of challenging and really fun content.
