One genre of games the Wii U eShop is filling up with is platformers, some of which nail the gameplay, and others which fall relatively flat. Mobot Studios decided to throw their hat into the ring with Paper Monsters Recut, an improved port of Paper Monsters for iOS devices, and aims to bring a visually attractive platformer that appeals to both younger and older players.
With the latest news about Nintendo finally breaking their long-term embargo with mobile game platforms, AppGamer (and the developers over at Crescent Moon Studios) thought you should get used to a bit of platforming a la mobile with Paper Monsters: Recut.
The game: Paper Monsters Recut. The mission: Get to the end. The good news is that Mallary from AppGamer is here to help!
Developer Mobot studios released the first iteration of Paper Monsters back in 2012. In Recut, they have decided to repackage their kid-friendly platformer for its official console debut along with a new PC and iOS version. Initially, I was excited to try out this attractive looking platformer akin to a Paper-Based world, best described as a blend of Super Mario with LittleBigPlanet. It has great 3D graphics within a vibrant world, likeable characters, calm pace and harmonious music. Unfortunately, the stuff on the surface didn’t quite translate well into the gaming experience as a whole.
