The 2.5D is still as fantastic as ever, but in today’s graphics, it feels like an entirely different world, especially with how bright and vibrant it is. As soon as I performed that first jump, I was thrown back to my childhood, the kid in me squealed with joy as I continued on my merry way, and it’s fair to say that I was more than a little awestruck by my surroundings. Of course, there’s no way we can let this happen, and thus a long journey full of remarkable platforming ensues.

You’re introduced to the game’s main antagonist, the evil ghadius, a ghastly being that would see Phantomile enshrouded with nightmares. Naturally, as any of us would (unless you fear the unknown), Klonoa and his lil pal Huepow, decide to make the climb up the mountain in order to find out what the situation is, and that’s when this story truly gets underway. That includes our protagonist, as the anthropomorphic animal is plagued by nightmares that see an airship crash into a mountain, and sure enough, this becomes a reality.

In both games, you take on the role of the titular Klonoa, and in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile you go on a quest, in a world that’s fueled by the dreams that people have at night. And yes, it’s every bit as fun as its predecessor. In case you’re wondering, the latter of those titles is from 2001, and was initially a PlayStation 2 title. This story has been updated with the final release date.KLONOA Phantasy Reverie Series Switch XCI Free Download Romslab Update (April 21): Publisher Bandai Namco confirmed in April that Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series will be released on all platforms simultaneously. Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series appears to be sticking to the mainline entries in the Klonoa franchise, however. Namco released a series of handheld sequels and spinoffs, including one major swerve: Klonoa Beach Volleyball for the original PlayStation. Both games featured simple-but-deep 2.5D side-scrolling platforming through colorful 3D worlds. The direct sequel, Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, was released for PlayStation 2 in 2001. The game was later remade for Wii under the title Klonoa. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was originally released on the PlayStation in 1997, making this year Klonoa’s 25th birthday. Enhancements include revamped graphics, adjustable difficulty settings, and two-player co-op. Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series will feature remastered editions of the two classic side-scrolling platformers, Bandai Namco said in a news release. 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.

Bandai Namco is re-releasing two beloved Klonoa side-scrollers ( Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil) on modern platforms.
