Incredible '30s-style cartoon visuals, Challenging boss battles and imaginative boss design, Different combos of arms and charms help you improve your odds, Every bit as addictive as it is tough
Arguably crosses the line into stupidly difficult, Can be hard to pull off key parry move
I love Cuphead for its challenge. I died plenty of times beating each boss, but my first instinct was to hit retry. This level of difficulty will likely prove too much for some, but for me, it's exactly what I want from this sort of old-school platformer...
