Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course

I was excited to try this DLC and try it all out for myself to see if it lives up to the hype around it and if it was worth the wait.

As soon as you start the game, you will notice that there is a new theme song to go along with the new title screen that shows Cuphead, Mugman, and Ms. Chalice together. The song is once again incredibly catchy and feels just like an old barbershop tune.

The setting for the DLC is Isle IV, a set of four isles that are part of the larger Inkwell Island from the main game. To get to this new destination, you have to jump into a rowboat to get taken over. This new island is beautiful with its watercolour look, little village to explore, mountains, and a forest; it fits seamlessly with the worlds from the base game. Once you get into the levels, you are treated to bosses with crazy personas and the same classic animation style that we know and love. The new levels that you find in the Delicious Last Course DLC aren't just boss battles: there is a variety ranging from run and gun levels, stages where you have to parry to defeat all the pink-colored enemies, ones where you hop into a plane and take to the skies to defeat a boss, and others where you are in the sky but you are on a floating platform instead of a fighter plane. The vast variety helps the DLC feel fresh and not stale as it would if you were always playing the exact same type of levels. At any point in time, if you want to rechallenge any of the levels from the base game, all you need to do is hop in the boat and select which of the isles you want to travel to.
