Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

The Good
The presentation is crisp to say the least. Character design of the main character is cute but I could not tell an arm from a leg when looking at the other characters. Klonoa has great music and the sound desing is also good. Surprisingly the story was also quite good.

The level desing and the bosses are the best bit of the game though. Bosses were tough enough that after the first one I think all the bosses took me couple tries to pull it off. This is mostly thanks to the 3d aiming and positioning which brought my blood to boil a few times.

The Bad
The game has a bit of challenge. Platforming is decent, controls are ok. I feel the controlswere a bit slippery but after a bit of adjustment you can pull of even the trickier platforming without throwing your controller to the wall. for a 2.5d game this I liked the challenge and innovation.

The Bottom Line
Good 2.5D game with replayability. I appreciate that the game was short, around 5 hours to beat. You can return to the levels afterwards and collect all the missing collectibles. The game offers a bit of challenge but you quickly build up your skills so the game stays light. I'd recommend the game for platform enjoyers and those who want a delve into low-poly games.
