It's pretty good. A 2D puzzle platformer. The console games have puzzles, but are 2.5D and a bit more focus on action than puzzle.

Still can't believe they wanted to change him on the Wii remake. So happy enough people showed how much they cared for him.
>>
>>245597823

Well, it's different from the console versions (which I assume you didn't play, so that doesn't matter) because it's all 2D, not 2.5D. It's still pretty good though.

In regards to it's story, not really anything special (unlike the other games which are pretty good story wise) but not knowing who Klonoa is might make this game a little confusing.

This video is a pretty good review of the game:

I have no fucking clue. I hate that redesign. Like they were tying too hard to be "edgy" and it just makes him look awful. Just think of the ending of the game using that design. All emotional feeling is almost sucked out to me.

It's actually a series of 4 panel comics that were released in Japan. This is a translation of them. I'll admit, some of them are pretty corny or have jokes that are lost in translation, but there are a couple of good ones in there too.

There's always reaction face potential too.

A fight? Rayman punched those blue faggots to a different constellation in Rayman Legends.

Klonoa stands no chance.
>>
>>245599374
As someone who owns all the games, I had a lot of fun. It's different to the console ones in that it's basically a puzzle game that controls like a platformer but a lot of the puzzles are pretty good and the windboarding sections are pretty good.

Not as good as the console games sure, but it's still a good game in it's own right.

What makes it terrible? It's not godawful like some of the shovelware out there on the GBA.

Lately, I've been playing some shovelware out there for the GBA that were cheap at Goodwill, like Urban Yeti, and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams could be much, much worse.

I have seen many Klonoa threads on /v/ but I still have no idea what kind of games they are because every thread is just full of people discussing how much they want to fuck him.
>>
>>245603236
Console games: 2.5D platformers in which you inflate enemies to use as throwable projectiles or as a secondary jump
Handheld games: Similar gameplay but as a 2D puzzle game
>>
>>245603236
Puzzle platformers where the main gimmick is you grab enemies and toss them. It sounds very simple, because it is, but the game sets it up in interesting ways that it doesn't get old very fast. Also gets kind of feel-y at times.
>>
>>245603236

Really? I haven't seen those kinds of threads in a while.

To answer your question, the Klonoa games are 2.5D or (or 2D for GBA) platformers. Known for it's fun gameplay, interesting level design, and surprisingly dark twists (especially the first game, but not really for the handheld games).

CGR does a good job of explaining the games if you're looking for reviews.

Someone asked about this flash game in a Klonoa thread a few days ago, I knew what he was talking about but couldn't find it before the thread 404'd. Seems like an okay time-waster.

This shit never derails when I'm around to dump the comics and manga.


But they can only last so long...
>>
>>245618976
Why did they drop the comic?
Did they seriously blow their entire site's budget by making Bravo Man and Wonder Momo animations and games?

Why didn't Klonoa get that treatment?
>>
>>245619634
That dude on the left, is that Kirby's Nightmare or is it NiGHTZ's Wizeman?

Never played a Klonoa seriously, should i pick it up on the wii-u?
>>
>>245619871
Look through the thread, everyone's linked reviews saying it's good. I'd suggest playing
Door to Phantomile, though. Get it on PSN or if you can't, get the Wii game, or emulate the PSX version.

That guy is Tenebrae, and he was made as the comic villain with no appearances other than in the comic.
>>
>>245619871

Problem is, we don't really know who he really is (just his name) or what he wants. What you're seeing is the cliff hanger that we've been left with.

Also, yes you should get the Wii U game, although I recommend playing the first one so you get an idea of what they're all about and get acquainted with the story (even though the games don't tie in with each other). You can either get the PS1 version or the Wii remake (although I would advise that you change the voice acting from English to the original PSX voice overs), or you can pirate it and use an emulator.

"Looking at why Shiftylook has come to an end, there are a lot of reasons. In my opinion they invested a lot up front on promotion and marketing to make the site launch with a big bang. Even though they were just starting out, they set up enormous booths at conventions with live music, arcade machines, free t-shirts, and more. It was impressive, but it also kind of overwhelmed the focus on making webcomics. I guess that’s the double-edged sword that comes from being the subsidiary of a large company like Bandai.

There were plans to monetize these comics to support operations, but those plans didn’t materialize until quite recently. They did finally come out with two games near the end of 2013, but I felt neither of them was very well planned out. The Bravoman mobile app was a bit rushed and not polished as well as they wanted, and adding a freemium pay-to-play model to it made it a tough sell in the crowded mobile market. Their second game, Namco High, was a visual novel. That’s a genre that’s very popular in Japan but still quite a niche market here in the west. It seemed to be banking largely on Andrew Hussie’s mega-popular Homestuck characters as guest stars to bring in an audience, which was an interesting experiment but it seemed that the Homestuck fans weren’t looking for a crossover. There’s still the upcoming Wonder Momo game from WayForward, which actually seems like a perfect match, but it’s unfortunately coming out too late to save the comics.

In the end, I feel the current webcomics like Bravoman, Wonder Momo, Katamari, and Klonoa are actually at the popularity levels that a decent webcomic SHOULD be at after only 1 or 2 years. If properly monetized, they would probably be able to modestly support their creators, but that’s not enough to support a company with expenses like Shiftylook."

Ariga also drew a few comics for Bravoman, which was nice.
