So i want to make a review for anyone on the fence about Cuphead and Mugman.

Pros:
- Megaman/Contra Style Gameplay: [10/10] amazing controls, great weapons, and you feel as if you are doing proper damage which seems to be lacking in most games

- Music: The music is right out of the 30's style and the sound effects match it 100%

- Artstyle: [10/10] All hand drawn and animated afterwards in whatever program they used. You can really tell these devs spent a LOT of time and effort making this game beautiful and extremely fun to play

- Difficulty: [10/10] HARD AS NAILS. This game is extremely challenging but fair at the same time. Requires precise timing and memorization of the bosses forms and when you play co-op... the bosses health doubles. AMAZING

- Replayability:[9/10] I see myself playing this game many many times over. It has the Binding of Isaac difficulty but with an art style and game scenario I've never seen before. Once you beat it you unlock Hard mode which I cannot wait to master.

This is truly a masterpiece

Cons:
- Can be speedrun in 9 hours or so. I dont mind this since most people would have a HELL of a time beating the first 4 bosses. It takes a LOT of patience and skill to master act one. I can see a LOT people giving up in that time. Thats really it. I want it to be a 200 hour game its just that good.

-No Online Multiplayer: Its only a couch co-op which i really wish they would fix... but in the same sentence, there arent many couch co-ops that are on this level or that i would play with most people. I usually default to fighters since there is such a lack of couch co-ops now that don't get boring within 30 minutes. This one I can see my friends and I nailing through a bunch of times after a couple beers without ever getting bored.

If you thought you were getting "a family friendly 1930's cartoon style game"

You're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong. Its Dark Souls 4 but plays like Megaman.

If you think im kidding... go get it.

20 bucks on steam and to be honest i would have paid 100 for this game. Its just absolutely astounding and one of the best games i have ever played in my life. Im on Act 2 right now and i just cannot get enough of the game.

The game is incredibly optimized and works great with any controller.

I beat one level with my fight-stick and it felt almost natural... but because i played SO MUCH Mega Man as a kid i had a hard time adjusting to it, so the controller it was.

It is totally playable on the KBM but this one just begs for a controller and it makes total sense. I have a SNES controller that i may map this too and give it a shot and try and recreate the old MegaMan/Contra feel.

Seriously... dont drink Starbucks for a couple days and pick this game up. I cannot explain how fantastic this game is.
