Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series (PS4)

Product Information

Klonoa Encore trademark now listed as Issued and Active". My Nintendo News. 2020-09-11 . Retrieved 2020-10-19. Bandai Namco is re-releasing two beloved Klonoa side-scrollers ( Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil) on modern platforms. 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.

It’s fun stuff if a little safe at first. Occasionally, you’ll face a boss battle and these tend to be fairly logical and straightforward if a nice change of pace from simple platforming. Folgaran the Armor Beast is the first boss that will be fought throughout the game's story at the top of Claire Moa Temple, which is the next level that occurs after completing La-Lakoosha ~Sacred Grounds~ for the first time. As things progress though, Klonoa: Door To Phantomile suffers from some difficulty spikes later in the game. It can get much tougher requiring precise jumps and use of the double jump system. By the end of the game, timing is everything and while playing on easy helps a tad, it’s still tough to get through. Although, gaining a longer reach with the Wind Bullet does help a bit with your chances.

In the second part of this fight, its paws will now be on the field and will also rotate with Folgaran as a new hazard. You can easily avoid this by jumping over them. Additionally, it will begin to hover in a much higher position than before and all the Moos in this fight will be replaced with Flying Moos. Its speed will also increase once it is at its final piece of health. Indee, Jeuxvideo (July 10, 2022). "Le retour d'un jeu vidéo culte de la PlayStation: le test de Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series!".
