Klonoa moves at a pretty slow pace, and can grab enemies with his ring and launch them in any direction. The platforming in Klonoa could be most easily compared to that of a Kirby game. If you’d rather focus on the platforming though the 5x speed button is ready to be pressed. Although a bit full of nonsense words for my liking, the story actually has some incredibly emotional moments (especially in the first game). Its sequel Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil built upon this in 2001 on the more powerful PlayStation 2, and was incredibly well received critically.īoth games are functionally the same though, and feature our furry anthropomorphic hero going on adventure in magical worlds and talking about things like ring spirits and giant bells that must be rung to obtain the elements of the land. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was originally released in 1997 on the original PlayStation, and is one of the earliest examples of a 2D platformer using 3D space to add an extra layer of potential hazards and secrets.

The Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series bundles together the two games that follow the adventures of the weird cat-like creature Klonoa. I was intrigued to see where the Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series was going to fall on this scale, and I’m always keen to play a platformer. I mean sure it might not cost them as much as getting a developer to make a game from scratch, but sometimes twenty year old games struggle when exposed to the harsh reality of 2022. It’s always a bit of a gamble when a publisher decides to remaster an older title.
