Without innovating anything new on its own. I am not impressed by the trailer.

Cuphead did not invent anything new. It was just another Run&Gun game like Contra, Metal Slug and other classics. Only thing that was unique was the art style of old rubber hose animations. So it feels odd that when Enchanted Portals wants also use the same art style it gets all the critique of being a clone. I am sure that people who love the genre of run&gun and want another one with similar art style than Cuphead they will love Enchanted Portals also.

You would be surprised to learn how difficult is to draw graphics like this. For other graphics you can easily buy assets and modify them. And no one calls your game a 'clone' even though it uses exactly same graphics than 50 other games. At least Enchanted Portals is not another lazy asset flip.

The thing is that metal slug an contra look,plays and moves completely differently, is a bit like comparing street fighter with mortal Kombat, same genre but different game.

The problem with Enchanted Portals is it looks and moves exactly the same as cupehead therefore this is a clone.

90% of games that I play are old school, run and gun, side scrolling platform, beat em up etc. I played tons of run and gun in my life and I have an eye for this things. Its not the art style the issue when I saw the video I 100% believed that was a sequel of cuphead not for the art style necessarily it was the way how everything was moving. It was like taking the code of Cuphead and just replace the asset with similar graphics.

Of course artists get inspiration from other piece of art created but this is not the case for Enchanted Portals, it is not inspired but Cuphead its a replica I mean everything is replicated this is the main problem.

Cuphead isn't even a run and gun. People who think it is are incredibly ignorant.
