![]() You initially attempted launching a Kickstarter campaign for this but canceled it, correct? What exactly caused this cancellation? It was a bit rough, but once the initial surprise died down there was quite a substantial change in the reception of the game, with more and more people reaching out to us to say that they love Enchanted Portals and would love to play it someday. We were fully aware from the start that there would be backlash of course, but we couldn’t have ever anticipated just how viral the first trailer became, and with it how much toxicity and criticism would be thrown our way. The way Cuphead seamlessly blends the look of a 1930s cartoon with the classic run and gun gameplay was really appealing to us, we thought it was a shame that no other games were trying to do something similar so we set to do it ourselves! Were you nervous about creating a game with a very similar look and feel to that of Cuphead? How do you feel that has impacted the reception of the game? We’re a small team of just two people and for our first project in the world of game development, we wanted to create a similar game, as an homage to it. Well, it is no secret that we’re avid Cuphead fans, and Enchanted Portals was born from a deep admiration for the original. What really made you say “We have to make this!” First off, let’s start with why you’re passionate about creating this game. And the developers have graciously agreed to an interview with us so let’s get right to it. This is something we have talked about a couple of times over on Indie Pod -a podcast all about indie games- and wanted to know a little bit more about. If you are new to this type of game, then maybe you see a diamond in the rough through the trailer alone.For those looking for a new platforming, boss-rush game with old cartoony animation then look no further! Enchanted Portals has you covered. If you are a fan of Cuphead, proceed with caution as this game might not live up to expectations. The game could be great or a complete flop, but it is way too early to tell. From the names to the premise, the game feels fairly basic, and many fans are concerned about this. “Bob and Penny are two rookie magicians stuck between dimensions which will have to face numerous dangers in order to retrieve the pages of the Magic Book and be able to return home safely,” it reads. The main characters themselves lose some value when reading through the description. There is the interesting ones like the rooster man or the giant robotic cow, but the frog and the moon look basic and bland. The main character looks really basic, and the bosses, although varieties, can appear fairly basic. Like Cuphead, it does feature a co-op ability so two players can fight the dangers side by side.įans are already splitting in the community about whether this is a unique and great spin on the game or if it is simply a discount copy. On the bright side, the backgrounds are vibrant and pretty, and there seems to be a good mix of bosses to give it a unique feel. The animation is a little wonky, but that is to be expected from such a small team. The combat, music, style, and feel all look close to the formula, but it seems to be a much slower variant. Many people are already calling it a discount Cuphead due to obvious inspiration from the game. This game takes a magical adventure of their design and mixes it with all the aspects that fans love from Cuphead. The game is being developed by Xixo Studio, which is a small two-person team that is major fans of Cuphead. They are working on Kickstarter to raise funds for a release on the Nintendo Switch. It is a co-op platformer/shooter that brings back memories of jumping through a magical land and blasting things with a snap of your fingers. ![]() This game is styled like Cuphead and is destined for a life on the Nintendo Switch. Like magic from another dimension, Enchanted Portals has appeared with an adorable trailer and a familiar play style.
