Cuphead for Xbox One is pure eye candy — with a punishing edge

[Windows Central]

Cuphead is finally around the corner for Xbox One and Windows 10 and while beautifully crafted, its ruthless gameplay isn't for the faint of heart.
Since its reveal at E3 2014, StudioMDHR's Cuphead has become somewhat of a flagship for Xbox One's indie efforts through the ID@Xbox program. Despite several delays, the game has maintained a passionate following and now looks to be one of the biggest titles to hit the console this fall. After scaling up alongside its reception, Cuphead has significantly grown from its initial vision, with influences from both boss-rush titles and fast-paced platformers. Now, it appears Cuphead has finally received a release date, with a debut expected for both Xbox One and PCs this September.
Ahead of its release in the weeks ahead, we were given the chance to get hands-on with a pre-release version of Cuphead. Providing an idea of how the game has progressed leading up to launch, we spent 30 minutes in its wacky retro world, while discussing the game's evolution with its creators.
