Let me get this out of the way first: Do not buy this game if you are looking for a relaxing, easy time. Cuphead is tough. Like, really tough. It will test your reflexes, your patience, and your will to live. And that's exactly why it's one of the most brilliant and rewarding games I've ever played.
The Good:
The art style is the first thing that grabs you. It's not "retro-inspired," it's a jaw-dropping, authentic recreation of a 1930s cartoon. The hand-drawn animations, the watercolor backgrounds, the film grain effect—it's all absolutely gorgeous. Paired with a phenomenal big-band jazz soundtrack, the presentation is a 10/10.
But a game can't survive on looks alone. Thankfully, the gameplay is rock-solid. The controls are incredibly tight and responsive, which is essential because this game demands precision. It's a series of epic, multi-phase boss battles with a few run-and-gun platforming levels mixed in. Every time you die (and you will die a LOT), you know it was your own fault. You learn the boss's patterns, you get a little bit further, and when you finally land that last hit and see "A KNOCKOUT!", the feeling of victory is incredible. It's a perfect fit for the Switch, running flawlessly in both handheld and docked mode.
The "Warning":
The only "negative" is the extreme difficulty, but that's also the game's biggest strength. This isn't a con, just a warning. If you get frustrated easily or don't enjoy trial-and-error gameplay, this might not be for you. There is no easy mode. The game expects you to learn and improve.

Really challenging, yet addictive game. Playing with someone else might get a bit chaotic but it’s nonetheless great fun. Boss battles take center stage here and with the added power ups one can utilize, it makes for a phenomenal experience and one I recommend to anyone looking for a demanding yet fun game. This is also not including the amazing art style and music. Truly a wallop of a game!

This game is hard as nails! But I simply adore the art style and themes this game has going for it. The developers did a great job with the little touches, such as the incredible music score and little details that are hidden on the gameplay side. Recommended if you enjoy memorizing boss patterns and overcoming them.

This is the second platform that I've purchased this game on, and it is worth every penny. Kudos for such an original style - great art, maddeningly hard, and there's actually a plot to the game!

This game is a blast! The art-style is the immediate thing you'll notice but the gameplay is incredible and the controls are awesome. Like a classic ultra-challenging platform game that utilizes cutting-edge graphics!

A fun, and challenging game that brings back the frustration of games such as contra... In a good way. The art style is on point with classic cartoons, and the music works so well. Learn the mechanics, get to understand items available to you in game, and just enjoy. Watch some videos on the game, prior to buying, to make sure this is the type of game for you.

this game it's a lot of fun, with the gameplay, the graphics, the feeling, but sometimes it is also so hard, co-op mode makes things a little easy, but still hard, but you'll gonna love it.
