#Cuphead bosses full
But, I digress… The standard three-phase approach is used to full effect with Grim Matchstick, with his first phase being your typical dodge stuff, try and parry stuff but if you’re like me parrying usually ends badly – and in this fight, it ended badly a lot. As the fight progresses he quickly fills the screen with more and more fire, fireballs, and fireballs that you can shoot that end up blowing up and turning into even more fireballs – it turns into an incredibly frantic sprint to the finish line against the most adorable dragon boss since Skyrim. Grim Matchstick – Aww, look! An adorable dragon that you have to fight, this can’t possibly be that hard, right? WRONG! This fight is insane and infuriating and this cute bastard made me so mad. I may or may not have thrown my controller during this boss, and ya know what? I’m not the least bit embarrassed about it. Kahl himself and his screen-filling electrical storm attacks, moving platforms, and a variety of other mechanics that either can’t be parried or are so fast it’s borderline impossible to do anything other than dodge and shoot randomly until you hopefully prevail. Once you’ve overcome bombs with massive explosions that hit you from WAY farther away than they should and your typical side-scrolling aerial dodges and shenanigans, you’re met with honestly one of the most insane phases of any boss fight ever, which sees you facing off against Dr.
But before you get there, you’re literally taking the robot down piece by piece, and not unlike other Cuphead boss fights, as you take down weak points the fight just gets harder and harder. Kahl’s Robot is insane from beginning to end, but honestly, it’s the final phase that really pushes things to the absolute limit. Kahl’s Robot – The only airborne fight on my list is a serious doozy if I do say so myself. And as I am want to do, I’ve been thinking about my five favorites, so without further ado (and in no particular order), here are my five favorite boss challenges from Cuphead!īefore we start, I want to send a quick shoutout to the Boss Fight Database YouTube channel, where I got all the footage for the boss fights. The game has 19 bosses in total, all of which had their own charm and challenges to them – heck, even the two intro bosses gave some people trouble and were a perfect appetizer for the madness yet to come. And the support this game received was 100% deserved, because it is absolutely amazing – it was a wonderful and charming soundtrack and sound design, beautiful retro art style all supporting a genuinely challenging action platformer with some of the hardest boss fights around. This game really came out of left field for a lot of people when it released in 2017, and eventually, it received glowing reviews and accolades at that year’s Game Awards, standing up to AAA titans in the “Action” genre, like Call of Duty and Destiny. So if you’re like me, and you like a game that can give you a good ole fashioned butt whooping in the best ways possible, then you absolutely need to play Cuphead. I don’t want things to feel impossible, mind you, but when you take down a boss that is fair but also really hard, what you’re left with is a truly fulfilling and worthwhile gaming experience. A game is often only as good as its villains, and games that can really capture innovative boss mechanics with a good balance of solid design and challenges are typically high on my list of games I love to play. You know what the say: sometimes good things come in threes! Over the last two weeks I’ve covered my favorite boss battles in World of Warcraft and The Legend of Zelda, and today we’re talking some of the most epic and grueling boss fights ever, from Studio MDHR’s smash hit, Cuphead!Īs I’ve covered before, challenging boss fights are frequently one of my favorite parts of video games.
