Now, like any boss rush-focused project, some folks might disagree. I wouldn’t say that most of what the DLC has to offer is significantly harder than some of the later challenges in the base game which is a good thing, as there’s really no reason for that to be the case. Last month, the team said that they want “every boss to feel like a final Cuphead boss,” and that’s kind of an overstatement. Again, there are no run & gun platforming stages per se, but there is a set of “challenge rooms” that gets straight to the point, and will force you to master the parry system if you haven’t already. You can really tell how the team put some extra seasoning on the visual style and the individual details for these new fights. ![]() One stage (featuring the “Moonshine Mob”) really grew on me, with several very interesting phase transitions and an incredible marriage of music and visuals - even surpassing most of what the game had achieved thus far. Full stop, I enjoyed the run & gun platforming stages (which the DLC has none of, to be clear) immensely more using her. Making her a charm that can be swapped out at any time if it gets to be too much is a smart move, but Chalice is a ton of fun in any context and I’m glad she’s in the game as-is. While the developers stopped short of calling her an “easy mode” when I talked to them pre-launch, she’s definitely going to feel that way to some people. As you can imagine, it’s kind of a huge deal and changes the way you approach every single boss in the game - old content included.Ĭhalice actually ended up being one of the most significant things about The Delicious Last Course for me when all was said and done. While it does take up the charm slot, Chalice comes with her own set of skills, including a parry dash (literally it’s a parry doubling as a dash, more on that in a second), a double jump (like, a passive double jump, no big deal), and a dodge roll (that has invincibility, or iFrames). Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.To be clear, you can “morph” into Chalice as one of the two main characters (Cuphead or Mugman) by equipping a special charm. And for more, check out the developers reacting to a blisteringly fast 23 minute Cuphead speedrun. In other Cuphead news, a TV show based on the game is coming to Netflix. “As with so many of our fellow developers, creating games during these unique times has brought with it a host of challenges, and we’re so grateful to our Cuphead community for their patience and excitement as we’ve pushed to make The Delicious Last Course a true high watermark of the studio’s art, design, and animation,” said Studio MDHR co-director, Chad Moldenhauer.Ĭuphead: The Delicious Last Course has been delayed a number of times, first in 2019 and then again in 2020 amidst pandemic conditions. The DLC’s levels will take you to a previously undiscovered Inkwell Isle, where new weapons and magical charms will help you take on the new bosses and help Chef Saltbaker. ![]() Chalice can be used not only in the DLC, but also the original Cuphead levels, too. Chalice - better known to Cuphead veterans as Legendary Chalice - as a new playable character, who comes with a modified moveset and new abilities.
