Looking for some classic Sonic The Hedgehog style action? Look no further than Galaxy Trail’s Freedom Planet. The game is ‘a combat-based platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against an alien attack force.
If you are a fan of the 16-bit era Sonic games, it’s definitely worth a look–as it uses many of the traditional elements of the Sonic games, while adding its own twists, such as a special meter for certain kinds of boosts and double jumps.
The game was a successful, celebrated Kickstarter project back in 2013, and has received myriads of praise from gamers all over the world. Of course, Freedom Planet would be make for an incredible mobile experience, and during a recent Reddit AMA, Galaxy Trail talked about a possible 3DS port of the title, noting:
The game’s resolution is nearly perfect for the 3DS, but there are some technical restrictions we’d have to deal with first and we also want to think of a good way to utilize the touch screen.
Of course, they also chatted about Freedom Planet‘s transistion from a Sonic The Hedgehog fan title to its own, original property:
Very, very early on. The switch happened when we were still playing around with the physics engine and everything was drawn as boxes and circles, haha. The only Sonic element that existed in some form was rings, which were soon switched out for life petals.
The game is currently available on PC via Steam, and Nintendo’s Wii U, and again, we’d encourage you to give it a look! The full AMA is also filled with interesting questions and answers, so if Freedom Planet looks at all interesting to you, I’d go ahead and take look.
