![]() ![]() As a result, at the time of writing this article, the Kickstarter trailer above has received nearly 3,000 dislike - which doubles the number of its like counts. The big band jazz music doesn't match this game's concept at all!Įven though they have justified that they are fans of Cuphead and have taken a huge inspiration from the game "from a place of respect and admiration", it's definitely not reasonable for such extremely identical features. But the developer Xixo Games Studio was too lazy to mix it up. ![]() The concept of this game is aesthetically magical, so some dreamy and fantastical music might suit the game really well. However, with unmistakable animations in everything: jumps, bullets, and even the bosses - Enchanted Portals is basically Cuphead with a name change at this point.Įven the music from this game was in the same big band jazz genre as well. First thing first, Cuphead plays good and looks aesthetic, and Enchanted Portals does the same thing. It's a compliment and a criticism at the same time. Actually, it's too identical that no one would recognize that it's a completely unrelated game without being told beforehand.Ĭan you tell the differences between Cuphead and Enchanted Portals? Enchanted Portals is like Cuphead-at-homeĮnchanted Portals is a 2D platformer game that has cartoon-like visuals that's very similar to Cuphead. But the more I look into the trailer, I am sure that Enchanted Portals has definitely crossed the clear line of being inspired and being a copycat. In fact, I think it's just a new game that takes the inspiration of Studio MDHR’s Cuphead at first. The concept of this game is very fine for me, as it's concept is kind of cute and vibrant. Shoot your way through this world to find the spellbook's pages back However, this world has a lot of dangerous creatures, and they'll have to use the abilities of magicians to defeat them. In order to get back, the two will need to gather all of the pages from their spellbook together. Their actions have opened a magical portal, which then sucks them and the spellbook to another world far from their home. The two young magicians have more curiosity than they should And karma strikes instantly as the two are messing around with something more powerful than they have expected. ![]() The game starts in a magical world, as the two young magicians are playing recklessly, throwing spells from their spellbook everywhere. XIXO Games Studios has stated that if the goal isn’t reached that they will endeavour to find an alternative funding method to continue development.Let's set the stir away for now, and find out what will happen in Enchanted Portals first. Whether you are playing alone or with a friend, the magic is nonstop in this game, and the action is both fast-paced and whimsical.Īs you can see from the trailer below, Enchanted Portals leaning pretty heavily on the foundations built by Cuphead, a criticism that XIXO Games Studios has been confronted with on more than one occasion, but the overall product does look promising nonetheless.Īt the time of writing, the Kickstarter is around 15% of the way to its goal, with only a few days left before the campaign ends on May 16. Here’s a quick description of the game from its Kickstarter page:įeaturing music sure to get stuck in your head, a charming old-timey art-style, and comedy from beginning to end, Enchanted Portals is a co-op 2D platformer at its heart – but a platformer in which there is always something different and exciting waiting around the corner. With a similar art style, evolving boss battles and an option to play co-op, Enchanted Portals definitely looks to be borrowing quite a bit from the popular platformer, so those who enjoyed Cuphead should keep an eye on it. The two-person studio XIXO Games Studio is currently working on Enchanted Portals, a 2D platformer with a great many similarities to the aforementioned Cuphead. If you are one such fan, another indie title, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, might be worth your attention. The adventures of Cuphead and Mugman (and later Ms Chalice) were so good that it left fans clambering for more after the final DLC was done and dusted. Cuphead took the world by storm back in 2017 when it mixed a charming as hell 1930s cartoon aesthetic with criminally hard gameplay, garnering a lot of critical praise ( we gave it a 9) and a loyal fanbase in the process.
