A whimsical 2D platformer

Enchanted Portals is a premium action game that takes you on an extraordinary journey with Bobby and Penny, two rookie magicians trapped between dimensions. This platformer promises an adventure filled with extreme battles against zany bosses.

Whether you go solo or team up with a friend in co-op mode, the magic and humor never stop. You also get the chance to choose your preferred style of play. Enchanted Portals offers a collection of challenging platform stages set in various dimensions, each with its unique charm — set against catchy music and old-timey art style that sets the stage for a whimsical adventure.

Spell-slinging action with some drawbacks

As a magician in Enchanted Portals, you have a powerful arsenal of spells and moves at your disposal. From fire and ice to wind, these spells add depth to your gameplay. The ability to double-jump and use a magic bubble for defense enhances your control and strategy. Flying on a broom and swimming underwater add further variety to the game.

This platformer spices things up with status effects that can affect your character, like jump restrictions or an inability to attack. This adds an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay. The boss battles are also a highlight, with colorful settings and multiple phases that keep the action thrilling and fresh. However, the game isn't without its flaws. The narrative feels underdeveloped, leaving players craving a more immersive story.

The tutorial falls short of explaining the game's mechanics adequately. Basic controls and spell explanations are lacking, which can leave players feeling lost. Additionally, some players have found the levels to become repetitive, and gameplay can become tedious when you have to restart from the very first level upon leaving a world on the final level. The controls have also received criticism for feeling sluggish and unresponsive at times.

A magical adventure that needs improvements

In conclusion, Enchanted Portals offers an enchanting 2D platformer experience with co-op and solo modes, challenging platform stages, and thrilling boss battles. The game's spells, moves, and status effects add depth to the gameplay. However, it falls short in terms of narrative depth, tutorial clarity, and controls, which can lead to frustration. Despite these issues, the whimsical charm and catchy music make it an adventure worth embarking on.
