The latest title of a very popular action game “Sonic” series.
This game has evolved into an open field stage clear type game eliminating the concept of course to enable players to freely select how to proceed with or even the order of the game including battle against the opponent, puzzle solving and quest etc.
Spectacular refreshing battle with added adventure elements to freely run around a vast 3D field while keeping the attraction of high-speed action unchanged, and amusement which is expanded each time the game is updated were supported by a lot of fans. For these reasons, the game won the award.
Work Introdution
Unless you continue to run, you cannot achieve your “desire”.
“Sonic Frontiers” is an action adventure set in a new land where players can freely run around in a vast island with supersonic action special to Sonic.
This is a next generation stage-clear type action game that has evolved the stage-clear type Sonic game into a playable world map called “Open Zone”. You can play various elements such as “Battle”, “Riddle Solving” and “Cyberspace” etc. in an arbitrary order according to the play style.
The way of Sonic is blocked by a lot of weird enemies.
Please enjoy refreshing battle special to Sonic making supersonic combo using battle techniques learned through the adventure one after another.
