Fri 3rd Apr Although you are completely right to some extent, I do think that for many of us, it was more like some other people already noted that even though Cuphead's developers did not invent the aesthetics, they were the first to use them in a game, and they used it so well. It lost it's identity because of it and will always be compared to Cuphead.īut, as I said at the beginning, I will play it and hopefully enjoy it. Unfortunately, Enchanted Portals, as good as it looks (and hopefully plays) is copying a lot from Cuphead in both visuals and gameplay. While it is true there are plenty Metroidvanias out there and nobody seems to complain it copies original Metroid, a good portion of them give a unique spin to the formula. It has more than a passing resemblance to the Cuphead. So when something similar comes out, absolutely it will be compared to the original.īut the problem here is not really the art style but the gameplay. True, Cuphead doesn't own the style of 30's cartoons, but, if I'm not mistaken, it is the first one to utilize such style in a video game, at least to that degree. On the other hand I totally get the people that are saying this is a rip-off of Cuphead. On one hand I love to see more games like Cuphead and I am definitely getting Enchanted Portals once it gets released. To that end, we have created a new extended trailer in which we show some of the changes and new additions we’ve made to the game and a lot of you have been suggesting: Now, Xixo Game Studio is resurrecting the crowdfunding drive, claiming that it will allow them more control over the project – and has released a new extended trailer to support this.Īfter several months of hard work and exploring different options to fund the development of Enchanted Portals, we have ultimately decided to relaunch the Kickstarter campaign as we believe it would grant us more control over the project. 
It quickly faced accusations of plagiarising the look of Cuphead, and the crowdfunding campaign was cancelled not long afterwards – although the developer insisted that this was down to interest from a publisher, negating the need for the Kickstarter. The game was first announced in October of last year, with a Switch release on the cards even at that early stage. Original Story : Enchanted Portals – the 2D platformer that caught heat for looking a lot like Cuphead – is heading back to Kickstarter, developer Xixo Game Studio has announced. "After several months of hard work and studying possible options to finance the development of Enchanted Portals, we have finally decided to relaunch the Kickstarter campaign and thus have greater control over our project," they assured in early April after announcing this return equipped with news and improvements.Update: The Kickstarter is now live, with a €120,000 / £104,659 goal. The minimum financial contributions to obtain the game are currently at 15 euros. If all goes well, the launch of the game is planned for the month of October 2021.
