When they go on a winning streak, the Devil himself appears and offers to raise the stakes: If Cuphead and Mugman can win one more roll, they will receive all the money in the casino if not, the Devil will take their souls. Against his warnings, the brothers wander off, enter the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. On Inkwell Isle, Cuphead and his brother, Mugman, are two fun-loving children who live under the watchful eye of the Elder Kettle. The game also has a two-player local cooperative mode, in which either player character can return to the game after being killed if the other one parries his soul before it rises off the screen. The levels are accessible through a top-down perspective overworld with its own secret areas. The Super Arts must be earned by entering three mausoleums, one in each of the first three worlds, and parrying a group of invading ghosts to stop them from reaching an urn at the center of the screen.Īfter completing a level, the player is ranked with a grade based on their performance, based on factors such as the time taken to complete the level, damage avoided, and number of parried attacks.
A less powerful strike can be executed at the cost of one card, its particular form determined by the currently equipped weapon.
The super meter is represented by a row of five playing cards, all of which must be filled in order to use one of the three strongest attacks ("Super Arts") in the player's inventory. Player characters can use a slapping "parry" attack on objects marked in pink to various effects, the most important of them being increasing a "super meter" that enables more powerful attacks. Equippable weapons and special abilities known as Charms can be purchased from Porkrind's Emporium, an in-game shop, using coins found in levels and the overworld. Player characters have infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. The game also includes role-playing elements and a branching level sequence. While most boss battles take place on land, several bosses are instead fought in aeroplanes in levels which play like side-scrolling shoot 'em ups. Defeating every boss on normal mode is required to complete the game, while expert mode is unlocked upon completion. Each boss fight includes a simple, normal, and expert difficulty mode (with the exception of the final two bosses, which lack a simple mode). Each of these boss fights and run-and-gun levels is housed in one of four different worlds, with the fourth world containing the final fight against the Devil himself.
