Its a fun game, the boss stages are by far the best parts of the game with the run and gun levels being just difficult enough to still be fun and a challenge. The flying stages/boss fights where you control a plane instead of the regular cuphead/mugman, can be far more frustrating due to odd feeling flying speed/controls. But as there are only something like 4-6 of these stages they aren't necessary to complete the game.

If you don't like contra-style shooting maybe give it a miss, I certainly had to struggle with them before the gameplay clicked with me. Also change the default controls if you are planning on using a gamepad with triggers like a 360/XONE controller, as they seems to be set for a gamepad that doesn't have triggers.

The game also looks very good.

9/10
