    Cuphead might be a tough cookie, but it charms with superlative art and music. For every time you might be frustrated by a tough section, you'll be delighted by some wonderful animation or new attack. It isn't perfect; the Run and Gun levels don't live up to the bosses, and a lack of feedback can make fights feel futile. Overall, though, the game succeeds in what it sets out to do -- just be prepared for a real challenge.

    - Very creative artistic choice of visuals and character's design.

    Cons:
    - Its gameplay mechanism is designed very poorly, you might enjoy fighting against some of the bosses, however, most of the time it's straight frustrating.
    - The game is very short, it does seem like developers had a choice either to make a good game with enough content or just make it very difficult to play, so people will play the game to fill that gap the gameplay's time.
    - The shop's items are almost useless, only the "smoke bomb" is the one that really helps,
    - Super attacks that affects on damage's power are almost useless as well, due to game designed in a way that it will progress based on scripted animations.

    Credits to artists, regarding of developers - they could've done better job.    … Full Review »
