Some may agree and others may disagree, ultimately it is up to the studio to decide as it is their work alone. Additionally, there was some controversy to the “Easy Mode” offered that excluded some of the game if you went the easier route. It is a sensitive subject to address, but Studio MHDR did comment that they tried very hard to remove as many references and avoid typical stereotypes while still being true to the art style. I do have to comment, though, that although Studio MHDR distilled the era to avoid some of more offensive depictions of race, it still garnered some criticism because the base reference material is frankly steeped in that background no matter how much you try to remove it. All of this creates an incredibly challenging but rewarding game that makes it one of the best gaming experiences around. Then, this unique art is combined with some of the best platform gameplay seen around in years with a character progression system and modern mechanics. Why? Well for starters, it has an amazing art style that is truly unique and inspired by 1930’s era cartoons which reflect the almost completely out of place ideas and attitudes of that time with references to the devil, drinking, gambling, and speakeasies with a sort of fantastical Steamboat Willie Disney style that masterfully expresses itself. Developed by the quite unknown Studio MHDR, Cuphead became a rising star at an astonishing speed and quickly found itself among the “holy grails” of gaming, on par with the masterpieces of old.
