Sonic Frontier" Game System

Evolution into a next-generation stage-clearing action game
This title is a next-generation stage-clear type action game that has evolved from the stage-clear type format of previous Sonic games to a "playable world map" field by extending play to the "world map" itself, a system that connects stages and controls the game's progression. This is the next generation of stage-clearing action games.

The "Open Zone," a playable world map
The "Open Zone," which exists as a "playable world map," allows players to enjoy high-speed gameplay in all directions, unrestricted by the concept of a course, thanks to gimmicks installed on the map.
The "playable world map" includes various elements such as "battles," "puzzle solving," "side quests," and "cyberspace. These elements can be played in any order, depending on your play style.

The "Sonic-like" battle system
In this title, players can enjoy Sonic's unique battle moves, such as the sonic combos that are unleashed one after another, by making full use of the various button controls.
The combination of "Evade," "Parry," "Counter," and "Special Moves" makes battles even more challenging, and allows players to take full advantage of their techniques.

In this title, players can also select "Auto Mode," which automatically launches a variety of attack combos at the touch of a button. Anyone can enjoy high-speed combo action with ease, from those who are good at battle action to those who are not so good.

Unique Enemies Obstruct Sonic's Adventure
The Starfall Islands are roamed by mysterious enemies that Sonic has never encountered before. Players must use the new battle system and abilities to defeat these mysterious enemies.

[SOLDIER

■SOLDIER

SOLDIERS appear in numbers, surround Sonic, and attack with sharp two-handed thrusts.

CYCLON

Floating in the air, they use Sonic as a foothold, and occasionally create tornadoes to inflict damage.

BANGER

BANGER rushes toward Sonic, and when Sonic attacks it, it chases after him at high speed and attacks back.

SHELL

While protected by its hard shell, Sonic's attacks are impenetrable. It attacks by sending its shell flying like a boomerang.

BUBBLE

An enemy consisting of countless spheres. It attacks Sonic by generating electric shocks.

Guardian Gods
The "Guardian God" is an enemy that is more powerful than the "Divine Soldier. When defeated, it drops an important item.

NINJA

A ninja-like enemy that launches spectacular attacks at super speed. They are difficult enemies that sometimes defend against attacks and sometimes attack by disguising themselves.

TOWER

An enemy with a structure that looks like many layers of parts stacked on top of each other. Its weak point is located at the top of its head, so target it by destroying them one by one.

ASURA

An enemy as huge as a building. Run up to the swinging arm and find its weak point to attack.

New action "Psy-Loop".
A new action that creates an enclosure using a strip of light that traces Sonic's "path of movement". Various effects will appear depending on the target, such as enemies, items, areas, etc.
Using Sonic's mobility to master the psi-looping technique can be useful in game strategies and escaping from a pinch, creating new ways to enjoy Sonic's games.
Furthermore, as you enhance your skills, you can learn more Sonic-like high-speed enclosure techniques ......?

[Riddle Solving
The ruins of ancient civilizations scattered around the island hide various tricks. Solving the riddles will give you items that will increase Sonic's power and defense, open up maps that will give you an advantage in the battle, or reveal new routes that will allow you to move around the island at high speed. There is a wide variety of riddles to solve, from mind-bending puzzles to those that require action techniques to mini-game-like puzzles.

In addition, while challenging riddles will give you an advantage in your adventure, with the exception of a few, they are not essential to the game strategy, so be sure to try them as a break from the high-speed action.

[Dennou Space
The ruins scattered around the island hide an entrance to the "cyberspace" created by an ancient civilization. In the "cyberspace" created by super science from Sonic's memories, you can enjoy a conventional speed-run Sonic game full of a sense of speed.
The key to the "Dennou Space" is to conquer it and obtain the key to move on!

[Two Control Styles].
This title offers two control styles: "Action Style," which is suitable for enjoying precise platforming action, and "High Speed Style," which allows you to enjoy the usual Sonic game controls with a sense of speed.
The user can choose the style of operation that is most comfortable for both the field and the cyber space, so even beginners of Sonic games can enjoy the game with ease.
