adventure here’s five things you need to
know besides the obvious don’t take bets
from the devil thing number five
throwback to classic genres
[Music]
once upon a time on a gaming console far
far away there was a style of gaming
called run-and-gun
or shoot him up or sometimes bullet help
but that’s slightly different basically
you were tasked with shooting everything
you came across all right it’s not like
the genres dead but we certainly haven’t
seen much of this in the modern gaming
era top head is like a love letter to
the contrast but Gradius –is the how
can you keep up with what’s going on on
screen right now games of yesteryear
complete with the frantic two-player
action and out-of-this-world bosses in
quell Isle is a fresh take on a classic
style of gaming number four brilliant
art style and you thought you’d only get
this kind of game art in that one
Kingdom Hearts 2 world or a certain
survival horror game the old-school
animation influence is clear here and
cop head looks like an adventure that
was locked in a time capsule for decades
before it was finally released in 2017
the color palette the backgrounds and
the fact that everything seems to be
moving around is a nod to those classic
1930s cartoons with a unique cast of
vegetables um sorry expressive
characters all that’s missing is the
bowl of cereal and pajamas for the
perfect Saturday morning cartoon
[Music]
number three the music
[Music]
speaking of time capsules how about that
game’s soundtrack it’s the bee’s knees
that cats meow
the vintage sayings that make you want
to wear a pinstripe suit and dance to
that band jam session it’s one of those
soundtracks where the music perfectly
dictates what’s going on in the story
without any need for dialogue you can
tell what it’s just cop had exploring
the area or what he’s going toe-to-toe
with a bouncy ball whose tombstone tries
to kill him it adds to the game’s
charming aesthetic for sure and you’ll
definitely be snapping your fingers to
those cool cats um not that cool cat
though number two publicity through
controversy
not exactly what you’d expect in a game
that starts with a storybook controversy
with video games tend to point to me is
this too intense for my child direction
but on this occasion the c-word was
stirred up through someone’s awful
gameplay when Dean Takahashi tried his
hand at cuphead he probably didn’t
expect to go viral but his 20-some
minute demonstration led to a debate
about games journalists and their
ability to provide proper assessment of
a game based on their skill or lack
thereof
this gave cop had an extra big boost of
press at just the right time as the
release was only about a month away
[Music]
number one it’s the dark souls of
it wouldn’t be a run-and-gun game
without a difficulty level that makes
you feel a fiery hot rage the worst part
you get infinite lives so there’s no
real reason why you can’t keep trying
until you reach that friendly flower or
oh that’s trying to kill you – of course
it is everything once you did what am I
thinking
and that’s how these games work right if
at first you don’t succeed well curse
those damn cup brothers for going to the
casino and then try again because after
all the game shows you how close you
were to the end every time you fail much
like the souls series though get used to
that you died screen do you agree with
