A whole new island, more creative bosses, new weapons, and Ms. Chalice brings new abilities into the mix. Well worth the asking price. Oh, and make sure you solve the graveyard puzzle, you won't regret it.
★★★★★ Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course is a full expansion that adds a new island, a large collection of challenging boss fights, a new playable character, weapons, charms, secrets, and additional challenges. It is much more substantial than a simple cosmetic DLC. The biggest addition is Ms. Chalice, a completely new playable character with her own modified moveset and abilities. After unlocking her, she can be used not only in the DLC but also throughout the entire original Cuphead campaign, giving the base game a new way to play. The DLC takes Cuphead and Mugman to Inkwell Isle IV, where they must help Chef Saltbaker gather ingredients for the Wondertart. The island contains a series of new boss battles, including Glumstone the Giant, Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, The Howling Aces, Mortimer Freeze, and the challenging final battle against Chef Saltbaker. There is also the King's Leap challenge with several special fights and a secret boss encounter. It also adds new equipment that can be used to improve your builds. Among the additions are weapons such as Converge, Crackshot and Twist-Up, along with new charms including Astral Cookie, Heart Ring and Broken Relic. Some of these are particularly useful for dealing with the DLC's difficult bosses and can also be used when replaying older content. Adds: - Ms. Chalice as a new playable character. - Ms. Chalice usable throughout the original game after unlocking her. - Brand-new Inkwell Isle IV. - A large collection of new boss fights. - New final boss: Chef Saltbaker. - The King's Leap challenges. - Secret boss encounter. - New weapons. - New charms. - New abilities and gameplay mechanics through Ms. Chalice. - New secrets and collectibles. - New original jazz music and hand-drawn animations. Pros: Huge amount of new boss content, Ms. Chalice fundamentally changes how the game is played, new weapons and charms, excellent animation and music, additional challenges, and the new content is extremely well integrated with the original game. Cons: The difficulty remains very high, so players who already struggle with the original Cuphead may find the DLC even more challenging. It also requires the base game and doesn't function as a standalone game. Worth buying? Absolutely. This is one of those DLCs where the amount of gameplay content is excellent for the price. If you enjoy Cuphead, there is very little reason to skip it. It adds meaningful gameplay rather than simply cosmetics, and Ms. Chalice alone gives you a new way to experience the original campaign. Overall: 10/10 — one of the best DLCs in the genre. It feels like a genuine expansion to Cuphead rather than an optional add-on, and it is highly recommended, especially if you enjoy challenging boss fights.
I want to make out with this dlc. It has the greatest, most beautiful, most attractive weapon in the whole game: Crackshot. That alone makes this dlc worth it what a goat. Not jokes aside cuz I was very serious, very cool bosses except cow lady I hate her all others really cool really pretty. Converge is also nice when you want to use Spread but you want more range. Seriously, amazing dlc, it's worth it. Given how cheap this is, I can understand the only content is one extra Isle. If this was more expensive I would be a little iffy about it but despite the not too much content, this is so cheap and tbh a lot of games would charge more for worse with more stuff to do but less quality. Play Chalice like 2-3 times and you'll never want to go back to the Cuphead and his brother, The Blue Bozo.
