Would it be a stretch to call Cuphead "souls-like"?

Would it be a stretch to call Cuphead "souls-like"?

It would.

"souls-like" is already a stupid term, games that just throw you in there and don't hold your hand existed ages before DS.

Yeah sure fuck contra and metal slug

"souls-like"? didn't know that hard games are like dark souls

Not a stretch at all my good sir. Mario Odyssey is my personal pick for best Souls Like in recent history though.

No because Cuphead is just a game for redditors and it would be insulting to compare it to Dark Souls. It also isn't nearly as hard. Git gud and play the real deal.

Yes it would. It doesn't play anything like Dark Souls and you know it. Here's your reply, fag.

That fucking term is stupid. It's like calling every platformer a "Crash Bandicoot-like" or calling every racing game a "Mario Kart-like"

ye

fuck off, reddit

>Cuphead is considered hard
>While Ghost and Goblin exists

What was the Dark Souls of punishing and hard classic games? MegaMan? Contra? Ninja Gaiden?

Can't you abuse of invincibility frames in Metal Slug by entering and exiting the Slug multiple times? Surely that makes it lose difficulty points.

yes kys

Can't tell if expert grand master bait or high grade retard. If abusing iframes takes away difficulty points than the Souls series is on the level with Kirby games

The Devil was the hardest boss desu. The first phase of the devil>>>Robot's first phase. Then again I also thought Cala Marie was probably the most difficult plane level.

You get a souls-like! And you get a souls-like! Every game in this godforsaken industry gets a souls-like! Obey your lord and emperor Dark Souls!

Wally Warbles was more difficult for me than Cala Maria. Cala Maria's fight takes a nose dive in difficulty after the first phase.

I think the core message is very souls like

Cuphead is as souls-like as Dirt Rally is.
Just a game that requires you to git gud.

>game is even remotely difficult
>gets called the 'Dark souls' of its genre

Because it's only had modern comparisons made by normies.

Shit analogy. Mario has been the platform game codifier since the beginning.

Dark Souls is relatively new and isn't even that hard. You ever played Jak 2? Dark Souls is just trial and error. Jak 2 forces you to either hone your skills or fuck off.

A better analogy would be comparing every platformer to the new Bubsy game.

Also, Dark Souls 3 is definitely the Abe's Exoddus of hack and slash games. You could call it Oddworld-esque

Fuck off.
