What would they even sue based on? "It looks like Megaman!"? So did Hunter Blade in comparison to Monster Hunter. Hell, HB flat out stole entire concepts from MH and Capcom didn't do pomegranate.
You can't sue because something looks like something else, unless they're also using trademarked things, like Megaman himself, any of his enemies, etc. The game War for the Overworld looks EXACTLY like Dungeon Keeper, which is trademarked by EA, and EA flat out said to WftO's developers that as long as they don't use trademarked creatures or names, EA can't do anything. It's the same exact thing here. These are smart people we have developing this game. They know how to walk the line, and will.
