This game is overall amazing! A great tribute to classic Genesis titles!
Graphics: The graphics of Freedom Planet are what you could expect from an old 16-Bit Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo game, but enhanced with faster animations and more detailed character sprites. This graphical style fits this game very well, as this game originally started out as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game.
Sound: Freedom Planet's soundtrack is top notch - possibly even better than those of the Mega Man and Sonic franchises. It has a 16-bit flair to it, while also using more modern elements. With mysterious sounding songs such as Relic Maze segment 2 and Aqua Tunnel segment 1, and fast paced ones such as Final Dreadnought Round One and Sky Battalion, Freedom Planet's soundtrack has much to offer.
Addictiveness: The game is easy to pick up, hard to master, and gives off the nostalgic feeling of playing Sonic the Hedgehog. The game would have even more content beyond the three playable characters, had the DLC not been indefinitely postponed.
Story: The games story, while optional, is very in depth. An alien named Lord Brevon crash-lands on the planet Avalice and aims to escape by stealing the Kingdom Stone, an ancient artifact that provides power to the three kingdoms of Avalice. Along with help from a space-detective named Torque, Lilac the Dragon and her friends Carol the Wildcat and Milla the Basset Hound must stop Lord Brevon before it is too late. There are some childish/comedic portions, but also heart-wrenching emotional portions. I DEFINATELY recommend playing with cutscenes turned "on."
Depth: The game has much to offer, with 14 stages and 3 playable characters (Lilac, Carol, and Milla) 4 difficulty levels and tons of achievements/collectables. The DLC would have added Spade and Torque as playable characters, one new stage exclusive to Torque called Horizon Starport, and a story mode for Milla. Torque, Spade, and Horizon Starport are still accessible in the Steam version of the game, but only in a beta format, and the DLC was indefinitely postponed due to the developers focusing their efforts on the sequel, Freedom Planet 2.
Difficulty: The difficulty varies based on the level of difficulty you choose before starting the game. You can choose Easy, Normal, or Hard, which effects the amount of damage enemies do to your character, and Casual mode adds the effect of your health being constantly regenerated. Normal mode is actually extremely difficult, comparable to playing the original Mega Man.
Overall, this game is a worthy successor to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and I cannot wait for the sequel to be released. This game is overall amazing! A great tribute to classic Genesis titles!
