I enjoyed how dynamic the camera made these stages feel even though the games are played on a 2D plane the way in which the action is framed gives them a sense of three dimensionality. I would’ve much preferred if they’ve just used the original graphics instead.Ī largely successful collection of two great 2.5D games.The presentation is a mixed bag, some environments and characters look wonderful,A largely successful collection of two great 2.5D games.The presentation is a mixed bag, some environments and characters look wonderful, while others are a bit too simplistic.Gameplay is pretty basic, and focuses on a single mechanic for the most part, while introducing different elements and enemies which interact with that mechanic in various ways. In my opinion it just makes the game look ugly.

If it’s for nostalgic reasons, it misses the boat because it doesn’t make either of these games look like their original form. I don’t really understand why that’s there. When I started playing I was kinda worried that the snowboard sections would feel out of place, but gladly they’ve managed to incorporate in a way that would’ve also fit in the first one.Something that’s kinda odd is that Monkey Craft added a ‘pixel filter’. Personally I think story wise it’s a bit weaker than the first, but gameplay wise it’s pretty much more with a few extra mechanics thrown in. These are brutal, expecting you’ve mastered all the mechanics of the game.A nice bonus is that you’ll get the second game as well. Don’t worry, if you collect all the people bubbles you’ll get a bonus stage.

The game is as fun as it always been, even though it bit on the easy side. This remaster is a great opportunity to get it in a sleek now coat of paint.

It’s a wonderful platformer with a story that has no right to be as good as it is. ThisKlonoa is one of those games that you HAVE to play. Klonoa is one of those games that you HAVE to play.
