I know the animation process takes time, but I really hope they are able to get extra staffers on board to speed up the process for the next game. All-in-all, the DLC is a stellar value for like 8 bucks, but after so many years of waiting, I think I was expecting just a little bit more. For me personally, I don't really think The King's Gauntlet was a worthy substitute. I was sure we'd at least get a couple of them but no. I'm also rather disappointed there were no Run 'N' Gun levels this time around. It makes it kinda hard to appreciate all the time and effort Studio MDHR put into lovingly crafting all these animations when your eyes have to dart around so rapidly. I feel like a person with epilepsy legitimately couldn't play some of these bosses without experiencing a seizure. Like, I love a challenge, but I found myself getting pretty disoriented with the amount of projectiles on the screen-especially when the background was scrolling. I almost feel like some of the new boss fights are a little TOO chaotic. It took a bit for me to get the muscle memory back. In Cuphead, it's set to X by default, but in games like Hollow Knight and Blue Fire, you press ZR to dash. So many games nowadays have an air-dash move, and I found myself forgetting which button does the dash in Cuphead. I think I was a little turned off by the DLC at first because not only are these bosses more challenging than the base game, but I hadn't played in a very long time and was pretty rusty. The DLC has some of my favorite music in the game, though, and the animation is top-notch, of course.

Between Klonoa, Sonic Origins, Fall Guys, and more that all released within such a close period, I'm completely swamped at the moment! There's just been so many other games to play right now, I kinda keep forgetting about it, lol. With that said, I still haven't finished the DLC yet. Cuphead is like one of my top 5 favorite games of all-time, and I love it so much I 200% completed the game.
