Top comment"This game is not for mainstream gamers, at all. The marketing said this was a throwback to PS2 era gaming, and this game is exactly that for better or worse. ...Very Underrated Game...Easy to learn, not a long game. You’re looking at 20-35 hour long game. It does get tougher as the game progresses"

Come one, come all, to witness an interactive entertainment spectacle for the ages. Presenting…the all-cartoon Wondergame Cuphead!! In this classic run and gun action game, play as brothers Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or local co-op) as you traverse strange worlds and take on massive, screen-filling bosses to earn your souls back from The Devil himself! It’s no exaggeration to say there really isn’t any other experience like this worldwide phenomenon from developer Studio MDHR. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, Cuphead’s visuals and audio are meticulously created with the same techniques of the era: traditional hand drawn cel animation, watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Cuphead truly is a playable cartoon that feels plucked from the golden era of animation. But that’s not all! This raucous retail edition includes the incredibly popular DLC expansion “The Delicious Last Course” on-disc/cartridge, offering players a bevy of additional bosses, wondrous weapons & charms, and all-new playable character Ms. Chalice. Add in a set of delightful pack-ins lovingly crafted by the artists at Studio MDHR, and you get quite simply the most complete Cuphead experience ever, perfect for long-time fans and newcomers alike!Top comment"Cuphead is a Cartoon Throwback Masterpiece...I played the game with my son back on his console and heard the hype of the classic cartoons of yesterday, having watched the videos before the digital release. ...games...video game was the disc of the play by day by night shift"
