Gacha games are everywhere, but Cuttlefish enigma It brings the concept to another level with a proposal without shame as a controversy: convert the most iconic male characters into the Waifus attractive
A Waifus Gacha … but with (too) faces known
If there is something that characterizes the role -playing game Gacha is their ability to do it Attract players with surprising designs of female charactersy Cuttlefish enigma Don’t go with the rodei. In his official trailer, you can see female versions of protagonists of some of the most famous souls of the last decade.
Here you are Denise, the most motal womanwho looks like the version of Genderbend of Denji of Maineaw man. Also Rora ZoranA green swing loud One piece. And, of course, SealingA witch with a blue mask that does not worry about hiding its inspiration in Satuu Gojo of Jujutsu Kaisen.
But it is not there. The game presents what seems to be A female version of Luffy on its coverdressed similarly to the protagonist of One piece But with a more detector design. There are characters that evoke Naruto, Yagami Light death NoteA Senku de Dr. Stoneand included a Shinji Ikari de Evangelion… that, with a completely ridiculous detail, It seems to wear the head of the unit-01 as if it were a hat.
Johnity or shameless plagiarism?
The most curious of Cuttlefish enigma It is not only the number of characters inspired by large franchises, but how little you strive to hide it. The references are too evidentFrom hairstyles to colors of clothing and accessories. In some cases, such as in Chronis (clearly based on Jotaro Kujo de Jojo’s bizarre adventure), have even preserved their position, without any significant change.
It is difficult to imagine that this game reaches its launch without lifting suspicions in companies that have the rights of these characters. Although the official names are not mentioned, It is evident that this title is moving in the thin line between the inspiration and infringement of copyright.
Will legal control survive?
Cuttlefish enigma Its launch is scheduled for iOS and Android devices, provided The large Japanese companies responsible for these souls do not decide to intervene before. Cases of copyright in the video game sector suggest that this may not end well for developers.
Yes, against all the forecasts, it manages to go to the market, the game has everything you need to become A viral phenomenonEspecially in the lover of the audience of anime and Gacha Games. The question is: How long can they play it before eliminating it from all digital stores?
Safe success … if you survive copyright
Beyond the controversy, Cuttlefish enigma A trend follows that has already provided results in other Paychas titles. Games like Azur Lane or Genshin Impact have created whole empires on drawings of attractive and mechanical charactersAnd this new role -playing game seems to bet on the same formula. However, the big difference is that there is no “reasonable similarity” here: the characters are female versions practically iconic tracks anime heroes.
The interesting thing is that, although some fans can see this game as a parody, The legal risk is immense. It would not be the first time that a title inspired by the anime has been withdrawn due to rights of rights. In China, for example, many games have chosen their characters thinly to avoid problems, but in this case, Cuttlefish enigma He does not worry about hiding his references. Will it be a risky game or a great movement? We will know it soon.
While we wait to see what happens Cuttlefish enigmaIt is worth taking a look at other titles Officers who captured the essence of the souls more legitimately. Games like Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections or Odyssey of one piece Have shown that the popularity of souls can be used Requests are not necessary.
