![]() ![]() First impressions are definitely mixed, but now it’s a matter of waiting to see how the Kickstarter campaign performs. Ultimately, Enchanted Portals will never be Cuphead 2, but it could turn out to be a guilty pleasure one of those games that can be enjoyed if you turn off your brain and forget that Cuphead ever existed. Even the soundtrack in Enchanted Portals features some quirky jazz tunes that would sound completely out of place… if it wasn’t for Cuphead doing it first to wide acclaim. ![]() However, the leading duo is downright unappealing, and there’s a disconcerting lack of concordance between the characters and the background in some stages, leading to a weird immersion-breaking effect. Boss battles are hectic and seem to feature some imaginative mechanics and tough challenges. The boss design isn’t bad either the stylish Elvis Presley rooster and the princess are a couple of good examples. There is no denying that some of the artwork in Enchanted Portals is extremely eye-catching, with clever color choices and all-around impressive animation, despite the odd lapse or two. At least, they use a magic wand instead of firing from their fingers. ![]() Everything about them feels like a carbon copy from Cuphead, from jumping to shooting. The gameplay mechanics heavily riff off Cuphead’s accomplished blend of platforming and boss rush, with the two main characters as the biggest offenders. While StudioMDHR didn’t invent the genre, the exceptional and original art style is what made it a special game, treasured by many players looking for a substantial, fun challenge.Įnchanted Portals features a pair of young magicians who are sucked into a vortex, landing in a world where many bosses await. Well let you know if and when a comment is made, as well as if anything. Studio MDHR has yet to comment on the trailer. The Enchanted Portals Kickstarter trailer is getting quite a backlash for being unabashedly inspired by Cuphead. Enchanted Portals is expected to release on the PC and Nintendo Switch. ![]()
