Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course - First Impressions
Cuphead has just about transcended games at this point. Since debuting in 2017, mischievous protagonists Cuphead and Mugman have been the subject of novels, comic books, tabletop games, and even an (excellent) animated show on Netflix. It’s frankly remarkable that we’re even talking about it as a humble video game in 2022, but Studio MDHR plans to make good on the promise of new content for the full service meal that was in the smash hit boss rush shooter. A Delicious Last Course, if you will.
We got to ride shotgun on a hands-off guided tour of some of the new features, and it's easy to report that Cuphead fans will have plenty to fall in love with here. Returning players will find new abilities, new bosses, and a whole new adventure all from the perspective of a brand new character that MDHR promises will bring a new layer of depth and difficulty to the already dense and challenging main game that is surely to be your new cup of tea.
Cuphead and Mugman, a duo who’ve never met a trap they wouldn’t willingingly walk into, are told that the legendary Chalice needs their help and has arranged travel for them to meet up. Learning nothing from their duels with King Dice and The Devil Himself, Mugman is easily lured into eating a magical cookie that sends him into the astral plane, and gives Miss Chalice flesh and blood. Luckily the ruse was just a harmless test, and Chalice introduces her friend Saltbaker and their grand scheme – to collect rare ingredients and make the ultimate magical dish that will bring Chalice back to life permanently.
