Player characters can use a slapping "parry" attack on objects marked in pink to various effects, the most important of them being increasing a "super meter" that enables more powerful attacks. Equippable weapons and special abilities known as Charms can be purchased from Porkrind's Emporium, an in-game shop, using coins found in levels and the overworld.
Player characters have infinite lives, maintaining all equipment between deaths. The game also includes role-playing elements and a branching level sequence. While most boss battles take place on land, several bosses are instead fought in aeroplanes in levels which play like side-scrolling shoot 'em ups. Defeating every boss on normal mode is required to complete the game, while expert mode is unlocked upon completion. Each boss fight includes a simple, normal, and expert difficulty mode (with the exception of the final two bosses, which lack a simple mode). Each of these boss fights and run-and-gun levels is housed in one of four different worlds, with the fourth world containing the final fight against the Devil himself.

The tweet revealing the game has since gone viral with over 1 million views. “We were prepared for some backlash, but the trailer definitely reached way more people than we could ever anticipate, and all the hate and negativity coming our way has definitely had a huge impact on us.” It looks as if most of the levels end with a boss fight.Īccording to Polygon’s interview with Xixo, the artist and composer revealed that the team are big fans of Cuphead and it acted as a huge inspiration for Enchanted Portals.
