![]() These issues aside, there really is something here. The entire package does not inspire confidence, especially for a game that is charging you €19.99 for the privilege of playing. The music also feels a tad underwhelming, but that is of course subjective. They lack impact and don’t give a lot of feedback for things like hits the player takes or delivers. Some of the game's sound effects feel like stock asset sounds. On top of all that, which persist throughout the entire game, there are also some odd design choices to look at. You have a shield and a dash, but both of these don’t activate immediately when pressed, making them borderline useless, and some hazards are frustrating to avoid because of a sluggish, unintuitive jump.Ĭonsidering games like these live or die on the simplicity of their controls, this is a very concerning issue. Not only are some key mechanics not explained to you, some controls feel sluggish, like you’re fighting against your own character. You fight some pretty fun bosses here and there if you can struggle through the tutorial, but even that is a slog. Looking for some more hardcore boss fights and platforming action?

Of course, some even posted memes mocking the game.Ī video game called Enchanted Portals has had a lot of people call it a ripoff to Cuphead and I have to agree with that consensus. This game feels almost plagiaristic as it has the same mechanics and the art style Cuphead achieved so well. ![]() ![]() ![]() Leaked photo of Xixo Games Studio developing Enchanted Portals.

Of course, many also rose to the game’s defense – stating that there was enough room for more Cuphead gameplay in the market. Others simply felt the outrage was unnecessary, and appealed for cooler heads. The new game #EnchantedPortals looks obviously inspired by #Cuphead but there's room for both games. AbsoluteSpooky ? Retro Ghouls ? OctoIf anything, this game will make people want to play Cuphead even more, since Cuphead's beauty and style are simply unmatched.
