Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series (PS4)

Product Information

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was originally released on the PlayStation in 1997, making this year Klonoa’s 25th birthday. The game was later remade for Wii under the title Klonoa. The direct sequel, Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, was released for PlayStation 2 in 2001. Both games featured simple-but-deep 2.5D side-scrolling platforming through colorful 3D worlds. Once you take down Lepito's first bar of health, he will now have a shell with spikes around it to protect himself from the player. Keep in mind that he can create two ground waves that collide with each other at the end of their respective trails. The key to this part of the boss fight is to throw a Moo at his shield to make it tip over and have him roll inside it.

The original game – Klonoa: Door To Phantomile– came out in 1997 at a time when platformers were going through an identity crisis. Two paths were forged. There was the Super Mario 64 way of doing things with large open worlds to explore and the Crash Bandicoot method offering up 2.5D worlds to traverse. Klonoa: Door To Phantomile was a fantastically compelling example of the latter. Well designed, it drew you in before challenging you a ton in the later stages. The remaster delivers a hit of nostalgia, but also that same sense of challenge. Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series [a] is a 2022 Klonoa video game compilation developed by Monkey Craft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It features remasters of the platform games Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (1997), originally released on PlayStation, and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (2001), originally released on PlayStation 2. The remaster of Door to Phantomile is built from its 2008 Wii remake developed by Paon. To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details.

The graphics have received an elegant revamp while Klonoa's beloved world and classic gameplay have been faithfully preserved. Keep in mind that two spinning spike objects will come towards your path at random intervals during the first part of the fight, so be sure to avoid them by jumping so they can disappear once they collide with one another. Bandai Namco is re-releasing two beloved Klonoa side-scrollers ( Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil) on modern platforms. The collection, called Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, is headed to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on July 8.

With both games, everything is suitably charming and fun, but a touch shallow. If you love platformers, you’ll have a good time but it’s not the longest of experiences with each game taking about 5-6 hours to complete. This wouldn’t be an issue if Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series was a well-constructed remaster but it’s pretty basic. There are improved graphics and a new easy mode, but there’s little else here. A new two-player co-op option helps a little but it’s fairly basic and only really suitable if you want to team up with a younger member of the family as the second player doesn’t get much to do. Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series will feature remastered editions of the two classic side-scrolling platformers, Bandai Namco said in a news release. Enhancements include revamped graphics, adjustable difficulty settings, and two-player co-op.
