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!
