I agree with Jim, it's glening from Cuphead's style when it comes to gameplay and animation choice, but that aside, the vibe is all it's own and going for a more fantasy feel then a old school toon throwback in the form of a shooter. Hence why they started up a kickstarter in the first place to make it look better. Well you gotta keep in mind that these are early concept builds, not the final product. ![]() That said, I think the game still looks really good, and I'm excited for it.Įdited by DrNoPuma on Oct 22nd 2019 at 1:22:44 PMįrom We Are Monsters on a Spooky Quest. ![]() Of course, other games get their styles ripped off all the time, and people don't complain like they have for this one. Also, it's hard to tell from the trailer, but it looks as if the gameplay has some subtle differences from Cuphead too (for example, when the boy gets hit with a hammer, instead of taking damage, he seemingly just gets squashed down for a few seconds.) It's a shame that they couldn't have strayed from Cuphead's style a little more, but I don't think it's fair to call it a complete ripoff. So many creative ideas went into this game. While the game does seem to use a similar Boss Game format and art style, the worlds, the characters, and the plotline are very different from those in Cuphead. ![]() It borrows the gameplay style, and the art and seemingly the music in its aesthetic too. The game has come under fire for seemingly being a ripoff of Cuphead. So a game like Enchanted Portals could easily be a welcome addition for players looking for more Cuphead-like content while they wait for StudioMDHR to finally announce its next big project.Enchanted Portals is an upcoming run and gun game by Xixo Games Studio. Since Cuphead released two years ago, there haven't been many boss-rush, shoot 'em ups that have released since, and the game displayed that there is a healthy demand for more within the genre. That, however, doesn't mean that players aren't still poking fun at the connections between the two games.Ĭlones and "like" games are common enough in gaming that Steam even has its own " Souls-like" category tag to describe games that are so similar to their inspiration that players easily recognize them within their own internal genre. When the Kickstarter campaign first closed, many assumed that it was due to the outrage at the game's similarities, but it would seem that the attention the game received as a result of the controversy may have garnered the interest of a publisher. In other recent posts, regarding the backlash, Xixo has attempted to address the Cuphead controversy, claiming that the similarities are due to Enchanted Portals being so heavily inspired by it, as opposed to being an attempted clone or competitor to the game. As a result, the Enchanted Portals campaign has been delayed indefinitely, pending negotiation results to determine if the crowdsourcing will even be necessary. This could mean that Xixo can instead focus solely on development as opposed to splitting its attention between the game and the Kickstarter rewards that would have come with the campaign. The Facebook post details that Xixo is in the middle of negotiations with an unnamed publisher that might be able to fund Enchanted Portals without the need for a Kickstarter campaign.

When the studio released the campaign reveal trailer, many users took to their favorite social media outlets to speak out about how Enchanted Portals seems to resemble Cuphead, causing the two year old game to trend on Twitter once again. ![]() Now, in a post on the game's official Facebook page, the studio has announced that it will be delaying the Kickstarter campaign indefinitely due to negotiations with a prospective publisher. Xixo Games Studio, a two person operation centered in Spain, announced a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming game titled Enchanted Portals earlier this month.
