This means that the game may lead you towards a top path with a lot of goodies that you naturally think is a better way to go - but it winds up being a catch 22. Most games of this type are straight up left to right affairs, but the Klonoa series mixes things up with a variety of paths to take in order to progress. This blend of platforming and light puzzle-solving continues when it comes to progressing throughout the stages. One small way to use them is to throw them from the foreground to the background and either interact with items or parts of the world. He can throw them into one another to take them out or use them as a means to throw himself upwards. Klonoa doesn’t just jump around, but he grabs enemies with a magic ring and uses it to do all sorts of things to them. The core platforming action is more puzzle-infused than most games of its day and its format meshes will with the modern-day being full of puzzle-platformers. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was a unique game for its time and one that has seen its core formula hold up nicely, although its graphics did age quickly noticeably even when compared to the original release of the sequel. One concession that a lot of companies tried was a 2.5D approach - which combined the core of a 2D platformer with polygons and depth in the game world. The original game came when the industry was shifting away from 2D platformers towards 3D ones. Both are outstanding side-scrolling platformers that manage to stand out just as much now as they did then since so few games even in the franchise’s heyday were directly influenced by it beyond The Grinch’s game ripping off the gameplay formula.
Combining two top-notch platformers, one with a stellar remake already out there on the Wii with the original game with its follow-up that never got a re-release of any kind - making this the first time it’s been released in over twenty years.
Having covered both the original Klonoa for the PS1 and the PS2 sequel before, the release of Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series has been one of 2022’s most-exciting all year.
