Because it's a Microsoft exclusive. I don't know if it's just XBOX or XBOX and PC though.
EDIT: It's both according to that wiki.

It looks pretty cool...the problem I have with platformers though is that they are usually too short. Somebody needs to make a platformer that's like 60-75 hours long. It can't be that fucking hard.


Maybe but they need sufficient gameplay to support that. A lot of these platformers operate on the merit of old school simplicity (A is jump, B is attack, C is special attack), and it gets stale before long.

It's not even that much of a platformer. It's mostly 25 to 30 boss fights. All are awesome.

There was a free puzzle platformer on Xbox GwG called Chariot. It was really long and I never finished. Spent like 20-30 hours and got halfway through. Though that could be because I was doing it solo and it's intended for co-op.

So you want it to be padded with a story that's probably not worth reading/listening to and fetch quests?

For some reason I lost my liking of platforms years ago. Now they don't appeal to me in the slightest. :(


Its not a platformer (I dont like them either).

Its part Contra, part bullet hell with a focus on boss battles. Glorious boss battles.

play distorted travesty 3

it's an action platformer that's probably like 95% gameplay and 5% not gameplay (cutscenes, dialogue) that took me around 75 hours to 100% clear my first time through. sounds like exactly what you're looking for. it's also free

I mean it looks good.

Just seems to be an issue of hype affecting reviews.

First boss at 2 minutes, you may think it looks familiar

also to actually be on topic a little: cuphead is fun if you like boss battles. If you're looking for platforming, look elsewhere. And then the flipside of that is if you don't want a platformer you still might like it, since really it's not a platformer at all. Having a jump button and a few platforms doesn't make a game a platformer, lol

so far I've been liking cuphead, one thing that bothers me a bit though is that the bosses have a bunch of extremely large unpredictable attacks that will almost definitely hit you the first 1-2 times you see them. It's not that they don't have some kind of telegraph, it's that you can't tell from the telegraph which particular small part of the screen you should be standing in to dodge it. Which wouldn't be so bad except unexpected hits feel really awful when you only have 3 health

Probably because Cuphead is the most unique and amazing art style to show up in a game in years.

I hope this starts a trend. I'd love to see some straight up looking 1980s animation type shooters.

PC

https://distortedtravesty.blogspot.ca/p/spoiler-warning-this-page-contains.html (there's a DL link in the sidebar on the right)

There's 2 other games in the series and this page is all like "warning, this spoils the other games" but the other games aren't that great and the story is not really a big selling point anyway so I wouldn't worry about this part

I mean, I figured that, as Cuphead is more like 1940s animation and not 1980s, but they both exist.
