Apart from the fact that there are a ton of things that could go wrong along the way, said final phase is no cakewalk either, with parrying appearing to be an essential part of the sequence at first glance. Players must choose at least three of the nine different mini-bosses in King Dice’s arsenal before facing the dealer himself. While not definitively the hardest boss battle in the game, it does have the potential to be the longest and most unforgiving of the lot. We are, of course, talking about the penultimate boss and the Devil’s right-hand man, King Dice. The worst thing, though, would be to get through all of the gruelling boss battles of the first three areas only to find your progress hampered by the Big Bad’s doorman. Many may have flocked to the indie title for its vintage art style, but only the most ardent (or stubborn) would dare to see it through to the end.
StudioMDHR’s Cuphead, while an absolute delight for players who enjoy a challenge, most certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.
