I played/streamed the demo of this game. Later, upon release, I purchased the full version, given how much fun I had in the demo. Here are my thoughts:

Pros:
- Fun gameplay. Reminds old school (seasoned) gamers of the arcade days of yesteryear.
- Awesome top down graphics. Colorful sprites and satisfying explosions after pulling off special attacks, melee moves and General tank shooting
- Challenging difficultly. Once again, for those that enjoyed the tough games of the retro age, this is a game you’ll enjoy.
- Soundtrack. The soundtrack fits each level and boss battle in the game. From upbeat and encouraging to brooding and cautious.
- Upgrade systems. Upgrade all kinds of weapons, the damage %, capacity, customize load outs per vehicle used (up to three different variations) and continue to improve yourself as the levels become more and more challenging.
- Tutorial. I’m putting this here because some game tutorials tend to lack some vital info, having you smash different buttons in order to reach that “so that’s how you do it!” moment. The tutorial in the game is simple, straightforward and easy to grasp.
- Aiming. Whether you’re looking to take out an alien bug, a turret atop an enemy base or enemies over a wall, there’s never an issue hitting your mark.

Cons:
-The difficulty. Although I enjoyed the in your face challenge (aka the Cuphead difficulty), some may find themselves repeating levels minutes after they load in. There are options to take the Easy route over the Hard one.

This game is definitely worth a purchase, especially if you’re nostalgic of games like Galaga or a fan of shooters and boss battles.
