It's certainly a looker, but Paper Titans is a little too shallow once you get past its gorgeous facade.

After the first flush of excitement, Haunted Hollow doesn't manage to add anything to keep you interested.

No online multiplayer will stop the GG hardcore needing to pick up a copy, and its high difficulty will be too abrasive for new players. It's still a technically superb fighting game, though, even if very few people should bother owning it.

A stripped-back and accessible approach to card battling is Rocket Patrol's selling point, but also its weakness as it lacks the depth and variety necessary to hold your attention.
