I don't know how difficult it is to make but Cuphead really feels like playing in a tv cartoon which sounds like a dream of a 70's/80s kid. Did the game get enough recognition or was it overshadowed by the CODs, Creeds, and Fortnites?
It got a fair bit of recognition, and apparently even has an animated series planned. Sales were not nearly comparable to things like CoD...but not much is. Around the PS4 launch earlier this year they said they were past 6M copies sold, which is fairly in line with what one might expect from a hit game in the "difficult" niche (especially for one not on PS4 before that). Figure, that was from it's launch in 2017 on just Xbox and Windows, to summer 2020. To compare, Dark Souls III came out in 2016, and in May 2020 was stated to have sold around 10 million, with a series total of around 27 million.
