Cuphead is finally here- it has been under development for a very long time now, and Xbox fans have been waiting for it for what feels like forever. But now it is here, and it lives up to those years of hype. It is a great fun game with an impeccable art style- that is also gruelling, difficult, and exacting.
As a matter of fact, it is so difficult that its difficulty has become a meme at this point- and nowhere is it exhibited better than in the game’s boss battles, which are, in fact, essential to the Cuphead experience. Before expanding into a 2D platformer, a boss rush mode is what Cuphead started out as.
These bosses are so difficult that no one will blame you if you feel frustrated and ready to give up on the game because of them- but before you do, it might be better to look at our guide that includes some tips and strategies for you to utilize in tackling them. The video guide below has tips on taking on every single boss- be wary of spoilers!
