Cuphead is a classic run and gun action game heavily focused on boss battles. Inspired by cartoons of the 1930s, the visuals and audio are painstakingly created with the same techniques of the era, i.e. traditional cel animation (hand drawn & hand inked!), watercolor backgrounds, and original jazz recordings. Play as Cuphead or Mugman (in single player or co-op) as you traverse strange worlds, acquire new weapons, learn powerful super moves, and discover hidden secrets. Cuphead is all action, all the time.

Basically The classic Mega Man, & Contra games but slightly easier compared to those classics cuz Contra 3 on Hard Mode is Impossible
this game isnt hard and im kinda pissed and annoyed at people calling it difficult because its just so easy its like super mario but slightly harder
As a gamer later in life (45+) I found the primary issue I had was playing this on a Switch Lite. I would recommend a Console or PC with a Good Controller. If you have tried a boss more than 20 times in a row take a break or a day and try again over a couple of days you will win.
