Once you make it to the second part of the fight, Grim decides to occupy the bottom left of the screen meaning you have to get on his level to actually damage him. Instead, Grim tests users’ raw ability to dodge projectiles that span from giant meteors to angry fireballs that hurl themselves at Cuphead. Most of his attacks are fairly tricky to dodge, as the dragon doesn’t offer a ton of parry opportunities for the player. Here is our ranking for all of the Cuphead bosses from easiest to worst.Ĭracking the top three is Grim Matchstick who is way tougher than his cute design lets on. Finally, it’s important to note that difficulty is not an absolute, so what we view as tricky may not be the same for another.

We are solely ranking the difficulty and design of the boss fight. Additionally, we are not taking into consideration glitches or exploits that can make fights far easier. So King Dice includes all 9 possible mini-bosses and The Root Pack will be ranked as a group. When ranking these fearsome foes we decided to only focus on the whole fights and not individual sections.

Of course, this gave us one burning question – which boss is the hardest? This title is notorious for its difficult gameplay and many of the battles demand perfect timing. Don’t let their adorable designs fool you as many of these bosses will absolutely obliterate anything in their way. Designed largely as a boss rush game, players have to battle their way through some truly colorful characters. Cuphead is a love letter to both 1930s animation and side-scrolling shooters. So, what’s your take? Do you agree with our hardest things to kill in video games? Are there more hard to kill enemies you’d like us to know about? Let us know over on our socials here.

And seeing how long you can survive when everything is able to kill you instantly certainly makes for an afternoon well spent. Despite all the step-aways from tradition, Devil Daggers is pretty fun to play. Just a timer on top of the screen counting down the minutes till “game over,” and a health bar to remind you how quickly your health is deteriorating. There’s no story, either, to keep you distracted. The game is also set up on a flat open space, so there’s very little in the way of hiding spots or exploration. The monsters have the upper hand, with faster pace and deadly one-shot kill strikes. All of your time is spent chasing (and being chased by) monsters. Imagine, though, if everything you run into is trying to kill you. It’s one thing to endure fighting one (or a pair) of bosses.
