no.6: King Dice - Cuphead: "Don't Deal With The Devil"

"I'm Mr. King Dice, I'm the gamest in the land.
I never play nice, I'm the Devil's right-hand man!"

As video game companies continue to circle the proverbial toilet bowl these days, I've found myself drifting more and more to the independent side of things. It's only natural and I'm far from the only person to be in this position, but it's interesting to me just how quickly some of these titles have climbed into top spots for me! One such title being, of course, Cuphead.

While Cuphead is an all around feast for the eyes, the one thing that always leapt out at me was the character of King Dice. While he's the game's penultimate boss I always found him far more interesting then the Devil and I jot that up to his over all swagger. I don't know, I just enjoy big, greasy gambling themed characters; I blame Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas!

With an immediate interest on the character, King Dice was one that I planned to add into a Halloween Countdown for some time but, well by now you know the drill. For one reason or another, it didn't happen and unfortunately over time my interest in Cuphead has waned. That's not to say that I dislike it now, it's just not something I'm hugely invested in. The game is over and done with and now it sits pleasantly in my perspective as something I appreciate, but it's lost a bit of spark for me as it's been supplanted by other indie titles in more recent years. Which ones? Well, wouldn't you like to know...
