In addition, she has a cyclone spin that allows her to deal damage and float, as well as a proper attack, both of which are critical to effectively conquering the bosses. She has a comparable move to Sonic’s spin, but in the air it will rocket her in a given direction serving as an aerial boost. Unlike Sonic though, Lilac’s moveset isn’t strictly limited to just spinning and jumping. He commands a powerful army and will stop at nothing to obtain the power of the stone.įreedom Planet is structured like a typical Sonic game, where each level has a couple parts and ends in a boss battle. Brevon, the antagonist, has also arrived on the planet, but he seeks to steal the Kingdom Stone and use it to power his ship. They come to find out that Torque is an alien and has been sent to protect the Kingdom Stone. The game starts with Torque, a duck-like creature, crashing his ship and Lilac and Carol coming to his rescue. Thankfully, GalaxyTrail Games was savvy enough to include an option that cuts the inane story out entirely, which would be my recommendation.įor those who care, the game stars a few different anthropomorphized characters, Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Torque. That said, these interludes between levels go a bit long, and most of the time I wanted to skip ahead to jump back into the action. It’s your typical B-level, Saturday morning cartoon quality, though the delivery of the voice acting is at least better than expected. The end result is a well constructed, fast-paced platformer that entertains from beginning to end.ĭepending on how you choose to start your playthrough of Freedom Planet, you may or may not have the pleasure of experiencing the game’s story. However, there are a few changes to the classic Sonic formula that sets Freedom Planet apart as its own unique experience that merely wears its influence on its sleeve. Though you play the part of a purple dragon, it’s clear it could’ve just as easily been a blue hedgehog. The genesis of Freedom Planet is quite evident from the moment the game begins.
