![]() So is this something newcomers will enjoy?īefore playing Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, my biggest question as someone who hadn’t grown up playing these platformers was, is this something that newcomers like me will enjoy on Switch? The answer is, it depends on how much you love classic platformers, especially ones that can be challenging in some areas. Sometimes it felt like they were distracting from the main action of the game since they were so obtrusive. However, the dialogue boxes also felt super chunky and took up far more of the screen than they needed to. Minor things felt outdated, like the level titles and dialogue boxes.Īs far as the dialogue boxes go, I very much appreciated that all cutscenes can be fast-forwarded by pressing the R button or skipped entirely by pressing the + button. Fortunately, it only stays on screen for a short time. These massive titles block the screen for a bit at the beginning and end of a level, making it hard to see enemies or watch cutscenes you've worked so hard to reach. Honestly, the things that felt the most outdated were the level titles and dialogue boxes. The previously mentioned fixed camera in a 3D space does feel a bit old, but there are plenty of other platformers on Switch that also do this, including AAA games from Nintendo like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. Do they feel like old games on Switch?Įverything worked well and functioned as it should have as I played. Otherwise, they can take a long time to defeat. But they do have narrow hitboxes, often with some kind of shield working in their favor, so you must time your throws carefully in order to be successful. On that note, the games’ bosses are pretty straightforward too, and don’t take that many hits to kill. ![]() Some platforming elements in this game can be tedious for some players. Some platforming elements in this game can be tedious for some players, so if this doesn’t sound appealing, you should probably stay clear of this game. However, there are some places where enemies disappear after you use them. Fortunately, most enemies respawn pretty quickly giving you plenty of additional chances. This took several attempts on my part since the bad guys were floating at different points along a path and I needed to jump at the peak of their pattern to reach my destination. To do this, I had to grab a flying enemy, double jump off its head, then grab a higher flying enemy in midair, and then double jump off this second enemy’s head to reach the platform. What is gameplay actually like?įor instance, in the first game, there was an area where I needed to reach a key high up on a platform. He’s noticeably taller than he was in the first one, his blue hat is now on backward like all the hip kids, and while he uses the same basic skills as the first game, he also learns new ones that make gameplay more interesting. Klonoa experiences a bit of a glow-up in the second game. To prevent this, Klonoa and his new friends travel to four kingdoms with the end goal being to obtain elemental powers from the bells in each location so our hero can become strong enough to fight off the big evil. In the second game, Klonoa experiences a bit of a glow-up with a new look and skills. The three characters travel together and are informed of a prophecy stating that a bell of darkness is about to appear in the world that will lead to chaos. Two sky pirates attempt to steal his Wind Ring but are scared off by the presence of Lolo, a priestess in training, and her companion Popka. This time, Klonoa somehow appears in the dream world of Lunatea. In the second game (which originally released on PS2 in 2001), Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, the plot is a little more evolved, but not by much.
