Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil feels a lot more polished and has many more tricks up it’s sleeve. It’s also a great title for younger gamers to sink their teeth into as well. For me, this is a nostalgic run through, a chance to kick back and go ‘oh yeah, I remember this bit’. That being said, games don’t always have to be challenging to be enjoyable.
Back in 1997, this would have proved a bit of a tough call for gamers, but it’s mega simple now and not very challenging. The game mechanics are very simple use enemies to jump, collect gems, and beat bosses by hitting them with enemies four times. Klonoa doesn’t attack directly however, relying on a magical ring to fire wind bullets that grab enemies, which he then uses to throw at other enemies or double jump with.Ĭheck out my article on how to beat Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for some more epic tips! It’s a little like the HD version of the Wind Waker on the Wii U, with all the colours appearing much more vibrant on the screen.įor those who haven’t played Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, it’s very Rayman-esque in its design and gameplay. See, look how crisp the bell is in the first boss battle before Rongo Lango shows up. The same 2.5D side-scrolling action ensues from the start, but somehow everything feels much more textured, those rare moments where Klonoa walks towards or away from the camera for a second feeling even more special. How can this game have been out for 25 years?Īnyway, forgetting I’m 32 for a second, the levels all look sharp, crisp, and much more detailed than the original title.
Hang on, 25 years?! I just had to stop myself mid sentence. I know that it’s been 25 years since the first game came out, but… The first thing that I couldn’t help but notice is how crisp and clear the levels look now. You dive straight back into the 90s from the very first side-scrolling moments, reliving all the excitement of Klonoa’s world from the get go. Nostalgia alert – it’s going to hit you right in the face as soon as you turn on this game.
