This Cuphead Clone Failed BADLY

Ya forgot to mention the fact that you can’t switch bullets midair, you can only switch bullets on the ground and not moving

People when a game copying old cartoony style depicts native americans the same way they were depicted in old cartoons 😱

Oh my lord, the video started and I instantly recognized every one of those sound effects from RPGMaker

I'm not saying this to be rude, but please invest in a pop-filter

The amount of cuphead fans losing their mind over this (not even that bad) game is very funny tbh

The dash sound effect is from Pepsiman 😂

This whole thing feels very sad. I’d be very surprised if the devs didn’t feel most of the same stuff everyone else did about this. You don’t work so closely to something like this without it sinking in unless you’re totally delusional

The 1st time I ever saw this I legitimately thought this was a mobile game ad not a game on steam. Now that i watched a couple videos on it I can say that it still seems like it would be a mobile game. Now the only thing missing is having an ad every time you die and and some type of microtransaction system.

People: “I really want more cuphead! When will cuphead 2 come out??”
game that’s like cuphead with its own little spin comes out
People: “OMG! HOW DARE YOU RIP CUPHEAD OFF?!!”
the last cup comes out
People: “I’m so excited for this! Looks completely original!”

the sound effects are so BADLY they are stock sounds

If you're gonna copy a game, at least try to make it play halfway decent. Sure, it's kinda looks nice, but that's it, and that's giving it a lot of credit.

I thought enchanted portal was going to be good or ok I got my hopes up bc i really like Cuphead and this game was going to be like it

At this point I'm pretty sure the game wasn't even supposed to exist and it was just some another Kickstarter scam that went very wrong. Not only everybody hated the could be Cuphead ripoff but from what I know some game studio actually got interested in the idea and because of that, now they had to make an actual game.

From the opinion of a brony. This game is amazing for a 2 man team

This is not an inspiration, it is a rip off

The "It's just more Cuphead! You like Cuphead don't you? So you should like this game" people are looking stupid as hell right now

The “racist” thing was a dumb thing to make a game to remake assets for.

I wouldn’t really say it’s a clone, but more of they took way too much inspiration

I agree that the boses are creative such as the space cow (my favorite one btw), Beethoven, Princess/Frog and Cerburus. These could've been great bosses but only if the game was worked on a little more and if the attack patterns weren't randomly generated. Never played the game or Cuphead, but I can tell that this game needs some more work.

Ok we get it people are pissed off of the whole indian boss they fixed it LET IT GO

Enchanted portals is coming out on Nintendo switch if anyone wants to play it

You don't need to invest in publicity when you get that much exposure as a Cuphead ripoff from channels like this one. Now I know it comes out and how can I check it out.

Stardew Valley was inspired by Harvest Moon and made by one guy. It turned out amazing. This just feels like a cash grab. The animation looks bad. It looks like something my friends would’ve drawn in high school after watching too much Gravity Falls.

Respect for putting Minecraft as a clone of Terraria and not the other way around

Recommendašion to MDHR,
Make þe protags of ðis clone into bosses in your game.

Its a fangame. Ofc its not going to reach the same quality as its source material, especially since Cuphead is an extremely ambitious, creative, highly praised game. Portals has flaws but it is a fangame, not a cash grabby clone

i understand that looking at the native american scene it may seem obvious to you that its racist but for 1 we have no place to put an opinion over the ones of native americans and for 2 a lot of people grew up with that imagery around them CONSTANTLY. to them its just a silly little depiction of people wearing feather hats and holding bow and arrows. its not often done with malicious intent, just misunderstanding. if they acknowledge that its not okay based on what the group its not okay to has said and change it then clearly they arent racist cos if they were racist their response would be "god youre so sensitive"

not everyone is educated on this stuff. my boyfriend didnt even know what the n word was till he was past the age of 10 and when he asked what it was, saying the word. they explained it instead of just harassing him for saying it and now he never says it and he understands why its bad.

i get that people do it with good intentions but sometimes the immediate aggression of just explaining it does more harm than good. and yes, immediate aggression does include calling people racist.

Making a game is like cooking or baking. You can have all the necessary ingredients, but lacks the most crucial element: balance.

Fictional content is by definition not real. It has no responsibility to reflect reality. The only time fiction becomes a problem is when people try to overlap our realities, with their fictions.

I'm sick of people defending the developers by gaslighting critics of the game. "People just hated on it because it's a clone"- No, people hated on it because it's a clone that's way too derivative of its inspiration, at times to the point of borderline plagiarism (the airplane phase of the robot cow boss is too similar to Cuphead's Dr. Khal's Robot for me to think it was a coincidence). Do I think they were deliberately trying to steal from Cuphead? No. I think they simply wanted to make something like Cuphead but weren't creative enough to come up with something more original.

"Cuphead didn't create run and gun platforming or old rubberhose animation you know." Yeah no shit, and I doubt the majority of the people who hated on this game thought it did. Thing is, the developers didn't have to make it a run and gun platformer- or a platformer at all for that matter; and they didn't have to use an old cartoony art style either- they could have used a different art style. To their credit, they do use various different art styles in the released game, but it's such an under baked and poorly executed idea that it doesn't add anything to the game. Honestly, they should have made this aspect the main sell of the game- "Cuphead, but with various different artstyles", but I suspect they only implemented this after the backlash in an attempt to make the game less derivative of Cuphead.

Ultimately, the developers' critical error was making the game so similar to Cuphead that it felt unoriginal and derivative. They were practically inviting the backlash.

Plus, not a fan of how this guy casually dismisses the claims of racism regarding the stereotypical Native American outfits certain characters were originally wearing like there's no issue here. The main issue for me is that this was done in service of depicting those characters as antagonists, which (intentionally or not) evokes an ugly history of Native American persecution that old stereotypical portrayals like this were used to justify.

This is another way in which Cuphead is way better. The Moldenhauers went out of their way to avoid using any designs that could be considered racist and were pretty successful in that- So much so that the claims of racism Cuphead did get were- rightfully, written off as unfounded. This game in contrast bumbled it's way (to give the developers the benefit of the doubt) into actually doing something racist so the accusations have more merit here.

As a POC, I was furious when the internet tries to get rid of the pancho/sombrero outfit in Mario Odessey. No we weren't offened, we were thrilled! So stop witchhunting

I really hope they don’t stop making games all together because of all of these videos. I hope they listen to the videos and try to get better at what they want to do. I think they really wanted to make a good game, I hope they can take and listen to the criticism without getting really angry or just calling them haters. I honestly hope they keep trying!

Everyone who's playing palworld right now owes this game an apology

This game deserved to fail harshly, there's no way in hell anyone in their right mind would play an unoriginal clone of a real masterpiece. Unless it's well executed, like crowsworn or something. Vut this atrocity of a game does nothing good

The weird thing about Enchanted Portals is that it retroactively became a decent to good game in comparison to other Cuphead clones that are far worst, say what you will about enchanted portals but it had a lot more care and effort put into it than something like The Last Cup or Rubber Rose Rampage

Enchanted Portals still has a lot of problems but it at least seems to have effort put in it, compared to the cheapest cash grab I have ever seen with a Mickey skin

I had legitimate high hopes for this game....
...then it came out...
Kinda busted my heart open to see the end result.
THEN RUBBERHOSE RAMPAGE CAME OUT.
now I'm pissed.

Honestly? The people who point at things and scream that it's racist because of some perceived inaccuracy or insensitivity are just as bad as the people who point at things and scream "woke" whenever there's a non-white protagonist. Creators would be a lot more willing to put diversity in their works if they didn't have morons coming at them from both sides of the argument screaming at them for it.

I won't judge before buying it

Terrira is ass

i don’t understand how they managed to finish animations in the preview that looked good and then it got scrapped

Isipin na dumaan sa problema ng pag-outubro ng isang larong puno ng mga karakter na akma sa Xankfomatia/Fruit Ninja aesthetic at ibinasura bilang hindi bawal ang walang pagsisikap na clone. Tulad ng sigurado kung ang laro ay magaspang, ang laro ay magaspang, ngunit upang bale-walain ito nang buo dahil ito ay gumagamit ng isang nakikilalang aesthetic ay hangal. Ang mga manlalaro ay ang pinakamasamang funkin, tao

I think calling games like Cuphead indie games does a lot of damage to actual indie devs. They had over a dozen employees, numerous outside contractors for art and music, and a large amount of external funding and marketing from Microsoft (literally the opposite of the original definition of indie). This amount of manpower and funding would have been considered a AAA game in the early 2000's.

The worst part about this game is that BECAUSE OF EVERYONE FEARING this game was a CupHead knock off and it would be bad, leading to barely anyone funding it, it ENDED UP as a CupHead knock off and it was bad.

Today (19-05-2024) I bought and downloaded this game for Sony PS5 from the PS Store (Ireland). It only costs twenty quids. I played it. I thought it was going to be a great game but it is not very good. It doesn't even make any sense to me at all. I decided to delete it on Sony PS5. I am not going to play it ever again! I knew I really shouldn’t have wasted my funds on this crap. By the way it was my only time to play it.

I'd say it's definitely a total rip-off of Cuphead, a popular 2017 run and gun game.

Go and play Cuphead instead!

Yes the boss wasn't offensive at all.

And nothing of value was lost.

Imagine going through the trouble of animating a game full of characters that fit the Fleischer/Cuphead aesthetic and being dismissed as a no-effort clone. Like sure if the game is rough, the game is rough, but to dismiss it entirely because it uses a recognizable aesthetic is silly. Gamers are the the fuckin worst, man
