You guide the mascot character through levels as you run from left to right jumping over chasms and fighting enemies. In general Klonoa: Door to Phantomile plays like most other side scrolling platform games. This game was clearly designed with children in mind which generally isn’t bad, but Namco took themselves too seriously here.
I didn’t like this fact because the dialogue sequences are quite cheesy, and the spoken gibberish is offensive on the ears. Compared to most platforming titles this one puts much more emphasis on its story. All is not well, and it’s up to Klonoa to stop them. It turns out that an evil being named Ghadius along with several henchmen who are seeking out a magical pendant. Soon after an airship crashes into a nearby mountain, the two set out to investigate this strange occurrence. Upon removing it he meets, and quickly befriends a magical little ring spirit named Huepow. Living here is a cat/human boy hybrid named Klonoa who one day finds a golden ring sticking out of the ground. Klonoa takes place in a fantasy world called Phantomile which is based off of people’s dreams. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile might just be the best platformer across the entire console easily surpassing the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. One such game, Klonoa, attempts to blend the second and third dimensional mechanics and does so better than any other similar title I’ve played. It’s unfortunate because for the most part these games hold up significantly better than the flashier releases of this era. We had excellent games such as Tomba, Astal, Mischief Makers and the like, but the problem is that most of them were completely overshadowed by the flashier three dimensional titles released in the same time period. The 2D platformer was, by all indications, a thing of the past with only a few devoted game companies still pushing the format.

While the Klonoa series could possibly return someday, it's unlikely this adaptation will ever materialize.Most developers eagerly pushed their new games and old franchises alike into the 3D realm immediately following the launch of the 32/64-bit consoles. Notably in all of them, Klonoa has an attire that was meant exclusively for the film and wasn't based on any of his outfits from the orignal source material. Availability ĭuring the film's short lifecycle, concept art from Ariga was drawn and can be found on Twitter. Not only did Bandai Namco have no involvement aside from a deadline they put on Henshin, but the film's own death was from Henshin themselves. Shortly afterwords in the same month, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada had revealed insights about the film on Twitter via a tweet longer. However, the now deleted Klonoa Anime Project Twitter account (the official page for the movie) posted a Tweet saying the film was no longer "with them" on December 31st, 2018, suggesting the film's end might've been in motion earlier then when Ariga posted. The trouble production it was having, though he expressed hope on another Klonoa project materializing in the future. On January 4th, 2019, Ariga confirmed on Twitter the proposed animated adaptation was sheleved due to In November 2018, Hideo Yoshizawa (Yoshizawa previously worked on the Klonoa games as a producer, and had also joined the movie's production) stated despite no recent news, it was still going to release on Twitter in a replay to a fan, though Ariga shared he couldn't say a word about it in the same thread. In January 2017, now former Gamexplain member and creator of Good Vibes Gaming, Ash Paulsen, was brought on for a associate producer role. The storyline was planned to be set in the same timeline as the games, though would have a narrative original to the movie. Henshin's founder, Rob Pereyda signed on as the producer and Hitoshi Ariga to write the script, design the characters, and co-produce the adaptation. In October 2016, an animated film of Klonoa was revealed to be in development by Henshin at TIFFCOM, the Tokyo Film Festival's rights market.
