I really wanted to like Paper Monsters Recut more then I did, but unfortunately, the lack of difficulty and the fact that it has a bland feel to it keeps it from achieving greatness. The poppy and catchy music rivals some of the best tracks from other 2D indie platformers I’ve played and reviewed on the Wii U. The music matches with the game greatly as well. The night levels really have the essence of the moon shining down done perfectly. The games 3D imagery is gorgeous and the lighting effects are some of the best I’ve seen from an indie studio. The game looks like it came straight out of Paper Mario with it’s cardboard cut-outs, cotton balls, paper mache and popsicle stick art assets. It has a 3D feel but plays in a 2D scope. Where Paper Monsters Recut really shines is the graphical style it takes on. Ultimately, the gameplay feels kind of bland though. I’d compare the game more to a Kirby game in difficulty then a Mario title but I wouldn’t consider this a bad thing at all as a gamer of any experience level should be able to enjoy Paper Monsters Recut. On the topic of difficulty, all the enemies and platforming are pretty easy. Some of the collectables are super easy to find and some are difficult but never feel impossible. The mini-games are just okay as they are just infinite runner type games. These are used later on to unlock mini games to get high scores in. Within each level of Paper Monsters Recut you can collect 3 Golden Paper Clips and 1 Gold Button. The boss fights at the end of each area are fun additions as well. These are some of the better moments in the game and help give it it’s own identity. The gameplay gets broken up a little with the inclusion of levels where you will be in a submarine or on a sled. There are secret warp pipes that will take you to new locations in the background(reminds me of Mutant Mudds) or underground (very Mario-esque) and well as secret areas located within certain walls. Pressing the B button while in the air again with perform a double jump move.
You will run with the Y button and jump with the B button. There is much more this game has in common with Mario as well.

The game is broken down in an interactive world over view map, similar to what we have been seeing in the Mario series as of late. That’s it for your basic story and it never really gets to be much more then that. In Paper Monsters Recut, you play as a cardboard cut-out robot who is trying to save Paper Land.

Mobot has since then ported it to the PC market and now it has finally made it’s way to what would be the most fitting platform for the quirky little title, the Wii U.
Paper Monsters began it’s life on the mobile markets of the andriod and iOS operating systems. Does Mobot Studios’ Paper Monsters Recut follow the trend or break from the norm.
The best thing about the over abundance of this genre is that most of the games are quite good and bring something unique to the table. There is surely not a drought of indie developed 2D side scrollers that are landing week in and week out on Nintendo’s eShop. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, if you are a Nintendo fan and love 2D platformers, the Wii U is the system for you.
