Enchanted Portals

Game so bad it killed me during a screen transition

i REALLY hate this game. NOT fun. first boss is so freakin not diddy blud tuff. 0/10 do not recommend.

So I held off on buying this game for a long time because of the negative reviews. But recently, the developers released a major update last month announcing adjustments, improvements, and new bosses so I decided to give the game a try. I am a huge Cuphead fan, and I was hopeful that even if this game was a third of what a great game that Cuphead is, I would be happy. Now, that being said, this game is not as good as Cuphead, not even close. But, I would describe it as Cuphead-Lite. And I have to say, I enjoyed this game very much. It obviously has the Cuphead feel, the devs have not been shy about their desire to pay homage to Cuphead. And I feel like they did a pretty good job at nailing some of the aspects that make Cuphead a great game. Enchanted Portals obviously has gorgeous graphics, character animation, and backgrounds. The character movement is also pretty good as well. The Jump, Double-Jump, and Dash all feel smooth. Shooting is responsive, and the 3 bullet types didn't bother me as much as it apparently bothered some other people. I mean these devs had to change it up at least a little bit as compared to Cuphead. The Run & Gun levels were a little repetitive, but they were still somewhat enjoyable. Obviously, the highlight of a game like this is the boss battles, I thought they were creative, challenging and fun. They even added some new bosses with this new update, I really enjoyed the new Painter boss! I played thru all the levels as well as the new bosses in about 3-4 hours, so it is short and sweet. I'm not sure why the Steam page says no controller support, I played the whole game with my Xbox controller and it worked fine. I give credit to the developers for sticking with this game, still adding new content and refining their game even over 2 years after its initial release. A lot of devs would have just abandoned the game after the initial negative reviews, but they stuck with it, are making improvements, adding new content, and I think the game has turned into something to be proud of. I wanted to post this positive review, hopefully other people who enjoyed the update will as well, and maybe we can get some momentum built for these devs and this game. Perhaps, turn the overall Steam reviews from Negative to MIxed or Positive. I mean, more games like Cuphead is NEVER a bad thing, am I right!

Temu Cuphead, but its actually a fairly decent game.

t’s basically a worse copy of Cuphead in almost every way. The mechanics feel clunky, and switching weapons with LB is unnecessarily awkward. Gameplay is just moving forward with little variety, and the enemies are generic and forgettable. Where it really falls apart is in the movement and hitboxes—they feel off and frustrating. For some reason, you’re forced to switch between specific colored weapons (green, blue, red) without any real logic behind it. The worst part might be the sound design, with the same generic music looping over and over.

This game is a little impossible first off all it is a rip off of cup head and yeah... that's it but i would not recommend playing it

this game in the most repectful way posible is actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the ''tutorial'' it doesnt show you ANYTHING

I always appreciate when a developer continues to fix a game even when there seems to be no hope of recovering from its infamy. Apparently, there were problems like not being able to switch spells while moving, not being able to move while or after dashing, enemies completely flooding platformer levels, progress and button remapping not being saved, etc.. I can only imagine how much I would've hated this game if I had played it any earlier than November 10th of 2025. Unfortunately, because it's two years old at the time of this writing, everyone had already moved on, which means that most people probably aren't going to care that it's better now. The sour taste had already left a lasting impression on them and I don't see them giving this game a second chance anytime soon. Even if they did, there's still only so much that you can do to improve this game without just flat out remaking the whole thing. I'm just hoping that this will be a good learning experience for the devs and these updates will show people that they want to make something good and win their good graces back by the time they make their next game, whatever that may be.

ليست بمستوى كب هيد, وليست قريبة منه حتى, الفرق بينهم يقاس بالسنين الضوئية أعتقد, ولكنها لا تزال ممتعة قليلا, الرسوم جميلة ولكن الصوتيات كارثية جدا, والتحكم غريب, تشعر ان الشخصية التي تتحكم بها تنزلق في الهواء بطريقة ما.

Não posso falar pelos outros ou pelo patch antigo, mas pelo que joguei da nova atualização, eu achei bom. O primeiro boss está legal, e o da vaca é sensacional — ótima animação. Os gráficos e o gameplay estão ok. O jogo é claramente uma versão mais simples de Cuphead (ainda desafiadora), mas mesmo assim não perde o brilho. Talvez eles pudessem ter atualizado o jogo antes — isso teria ajudado bastante no marketing da empresa. Porém, considerando o estado atual, está bem melhor do que eu esperava lendo as reviews bomb que descreviam o patch anterior.
