![]() In fact, Cuphead sequels will probably be better because now there's some competition.Īlso, the developers of EP also stated on their social media pages that they're avid fans of Cuphead. ![]() Encouraging "Enchanted Portals" will not take away future installments of Cuphead. In the gaming industry, there is no finite space. It's relatively new in gaming and wouldn't mind seeing more developers/corporations cash in on the trend. As someone who loved Cuphead's style/gameplay, I'd love to see more developers copy this style. It's a weird level of consumer-entitlement where people were actually offended that another developer was copying their favourite game's art-style/gameplay. They were almost offended by the fact that it was copying Cuphead's direction. While I was browsing this community of threads talking about Enchanted Portals, I was saddened to see how negative people were about Enchanted Portals. There are games in this industry that deserve to be called a ripoff with all the negative connotation, but this is not one of them. In terms of the modern dictionary definition, yes it is a "ripoff," but that's not inherently a bad thing. It strips all the hard work from a work of art, especially when that work of art is actually pretty good on it's own. I don't think it's ever been used with positive connotation. 24.I view the word "ripoff" as a very degrading term. For fans who want a new Cuphead-style challenge, Enchanted Portals may be able to offer that scenario.Įnchanted Portals’ Kickstarter campaign is set to launch on Oct. ![]() The game’s animations and music were considered a large part of its successful reception. “So we’re trying to turn our attention more towards all those who are supporting us and sending their love for the game."Ĭuphead has been a smash success since its release, even garnering an animated Netflix show starring Cuphead and his brother Mugman. “That being said, along with all those negative responses, a lot of people have also reached out to us to say they adore the game and they would love to see it succeed,” Gemma wrote. Other fans have posted side-by-side comparisons of Cuphead and Enchanted Portals in order to demonstrate the similarities. The tweet on the official Enchanted Portals Twitter account has gone viral, with fans commenting on the gameplay’s similarity to Cuphead. “We were prepared for some backlash, but the trailer definitely reached way more people than we could ever anticipate, and all the hate and negativity coming our way has definitely had a huge impact on us.” “We’re both avid fans and we wanted to make something similar, but always from a place of respect and admiration for the original. “Yes, of course Cuphead was a huge inspiration for Enchanted Portals,” Gemma told Polygon over Facebook. Polygon spoke to Xixo, which is a studio comprised of two people, identified as Daniel, a director and programmer, and Gemma, an artist and composer. The two protagonists navigate their way through a variety of settings, including an underwater world and a sci-fi level, shooting Cuphead-style at big cartoonish bosses. While the first 30 seconds of the trailer are unremarkable, the gameplay portions of the trailer bear a striking resemblance to Cuphead’s signature animation. It’s the gameplay portion of the trailer that has caused a stir on social media, due to its resemblance to StudioMDHR’s Cuphead, released in 2017. The game’s trailer shows the two plucky protagonists, and their cat, getting into this pickle in the first place. The concept of Enchanted Portals is that two rookie magicians have lost their way through time and space, and must defeat bosses to find the pages of their spellbook and return home. Xixo’s latest trailer has racked up over 28,000 views on YouTube in under a day due to a controversy about the game’s art style and inspiration - namely how closely it resembles the stylish run-and-gun shooter Cuphead. The game’s developers have been posting small snippets of animation and details about their game to social media since August. Enchanted Portals is a 2D platformer currently in development by Xixo Games Studio, with a Kickstarter campaign coming soon.
