roryjr Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Anyone else willing to admit that they only got through some levels in Cuphead because of co op play with their teenage son? This is a hard game at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slab0meat Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just bought it the other day. Only played twice, solo. Have beaten two bosses simple & hard, and one just simple, I think, so far. And I haven't finished that forest run n gun. But I love the style, so dying a lot hasn't fazed me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sorry for the bump....I've never explored this part of AtariAge before and missed this topic. Cuphead is the main reason I wanted an Xbox One. I loved the game. It was certainly tough, but the unlimited lives make it much more manageable than it could be. Like everyone else, I adore the art style. Hopefully they're working on a sequel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm on isle 3 now... isle 1 was totally finished, 2 was only on simple + the run n gun type areas.. it's already getting quite difficult for me on 2 regular setting... but still fun while getting me quite angry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I was saddened last night to find out I can't do anything after Isle 3 if I haven't gotten all contracts? Ugh. I think I only have 8 right now. And I don't think I'll be getting that Pacifist challenge...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's tooooooo haaaaaaaaard and I don't have a teenaged son to carry me through. In theory, since I bought it from the Windows store, I have at least double the chances to play through this since it's Play Anywhere (PC/Xbone) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It's tooooooo haaaaaaaaard and I don't have a teenaged son to carry me through. Just have to keep playing and learning those patterns. You'll get it eventually if you persevere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Make the mausoleum levels and run 'n gun levels a priority, since they will get you some new abilities or the means to buy new abilities. Use those new abilities to experiment in the levels you're having trouble with. I found the abilities that give you one more hit point at the cost of attack power to be quite useful. The attack that's like a short-range spread gun worked well for me as an alternate attack, and I also found the boomerang attack helpful in a few levels. I was eventually able to beat the game just through perseverance and a bit of experimentation, and I'm generally bad at sidescrolling run 'n guns. I've actually never beaten a Contra game without cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hydro Thunder Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Found this at a Gamestop (they bought ThinkGeek recently), and thought I was overspending at $20. Apparently it was on clearance, as it rang up at $10, so steal! The box has a nice raised / embossed print too, good stuff all around. Recommend a trip to GS if you want to nab one on the cheap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slab0meat Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I eventually had to quit. I couldn't start the final battle without beating more bosses on the harder level (at least, I think that was the issue)..... haven't gone back to it yet. Who was your second boss? Don't you have a choice of the order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger03 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 the fact that easy mode locks you out of the true ending is a slap in the face to gamers like me with motor control issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
