A remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
Help Klonoa save Phantomile, a land formed by the dreams of its inhabitants, and recently besieged by an unknown evil. Klonoa’s breathtaking journey takes him through a series of increasingly difficult stages across multiple kingdoms as he strives to save his friends and homeland. Throughout his quest, Klonoa is aided by his friend Hewpoe, a benevolent spirit who resides in the ring from which Klonoa is able to fire his Wind Bullet. The Wind Bullet gives Klonoa the ability to grab and inflate his enemies and use them to his advantage.

Lo abandone al poco tiempo de empezar a jugar porque me resultó un plataformero muy genérico y sin mucha personalidad, más allá de los diseños de personajes y el arte, que som aspectos que están bastante bien.
You will all go to jail for not buying this game
Played via the Phantasy Reverie Series release on an Xbox Series X.
This was fun - I had no real idea what I was in for when starting this game but I had a great time with it. The art direction was stupendously adorable and the music was genuinely great. Sometimes later platforming challenges were mildly infuriating (especially the Extra stage at the end) but this was a solid little game with a very surprising narrative. Whilst the Phantasy Reverie Series release is a remaster of the Wii remake, it does feature the original PS1 audio replacing the Wii's dubs and to be honest I'm glad I experienced it this way since I can only imagine an actual language attached to this game would have ruined at least 50% of my immersion and emotional investment, especially during those last cutscenes.
I've never played a Klonoa game before but from what everyone's saying I made the worst possible choice in the history of mankind by playing this version first. The very simple reason I picked this up was because it was available - unfortunately publishers don't deem older releases viable to keep selling and since there's no way I'm paying $300+ for the original PS1 release this was the next best option. Do I agree with this method? Absolutely not, and it's debateable whether rereleasing older games with an artificial new coat of paint is really the best but I certainly don't regret my time with this release.

Played this on the new Reviere collection. A small 3 hour 2.5d platformer that uses a gimmick of using your enemies to help you jump and traverse obstacles. Fun for what it is however later stages become really frustrating and suffers from many outdated elements (i.e later stages can take up to 30 mins and if you lose all your lives you have to start all over again). The art style is very charming too. Lots of potential with this gameplay.
Klonoa habla español castellano.
I regret playing this version. They butchered the artwork and cutscenes. The worst of the three versions.
