This, as well as her directional boost, uses up her special gauge which refills in just a few seconds and even faster if you collect crystals. If you want to deal multiple hits quickly, double jumping causes her to twirl in the air and attack enemies using her hair. With Lilac, you can utilize her kicks and uppercut to take out enemies up close. Unlike most standard platformers, Freedom Planet incorporates action into its already fast natured platforming. You can also play the story as Carol and Milla, giving different cutscenes and a different perspective of the events that transpire. But the voice acting does a good job of bringing to life the story that it presents. If Freedom Planet didn’t have voice acting, with the amount of dialogue this game has, I would absolutely hate it. He isn’t meant to be casually introduced, he is meant to be a disturbance to the normalcy of Planet Avalice. He is a villain brought to life thanks to his voice, and his introduction is perfect because he is an invader. His voice is amazingly chilling, with such dynamic power whenever he speaks. However, the best character I would say is Lord Brevon. The conflict just happens to stumble upon them and they willingly get involved. Even being introduced to Lilac and Carol feels strange as if there really isn’t an introduction to them.

When Spade is introduced, we only learn that he his most likely Dail’s brother because he refers to looking for his father’s murderer.

The characters are charming once they’re interacting with one another, but otherwise, they feel very plopped into the story. Now, I hope that was easy to understand because Freedom Planet doesn’t really do a great job of introducing characters or ideas. Instead of leaving him to his mission, Lilac, Carol, and Milla decide to make his mission their mission and so the adventure begins! He is, in fact, a Chaser, part of an alliance between many different worlds, and his duty is not only to protect the Kingdom Stone but to destroy it if it falls into Lord Brevon’s hands. After befriending her and a night of watching movies at Lilac’s treehouse, Carol stumbles upon Torque messing with some machinery and realizes he isn’t a shelduck at all. After getting away with the stone, Lilac escapes from the caverns of the Maze and Carol is saved by this weird but cute dog named Milla. Instead of listening and taking their word, they do get ambushed and when Lilac and Carol head into the caverns of the Relic Maze – they find that it is being stolen not by Aeon from Final Fantasy Sonic X, I mean Spade. Taking on the job for him, Lilac and Carol alert General Gong and Neera at the Relic Maze about an upcoming ambush by Mayor Zao of Shang Mu. After saving Torque’s life and easily tricking Serpentine by just running behind a rock, they befriend Torque and learn his mission is to protect the Kingdom Stone from being stolen. To add onto that, the mind-controlled Dail is now also spreading wreckage across Avalice to gather more energy for himself.Īfter this introduction, and a title screen, we’re introduced to Lilac and Carol being disturbed by a sudden plane crash and checking out the scene to find Serpentine, one of Lord Brevon’s henchmen, attacking a shelduck named Torque. A powerful stone that provides the kingdoms of Avalice with energy is suddenly fading due to the high demand of energy among the kingdoms. After killing the king of Shuigang and taking control of his son, Dail, we’re introduced to the main artifact that is the cause of the conflict on this planet: The Kingdom Stone. We start off at a starry night on Planet Avalice, with the invasion of Shuigang Palace by a galactic furry browed emperor named Lord Brevon.

It is no secret that with the Super Sonic hat on my shelf and my undying love for Sonic Forces over Sonic Mania, that I am indeed a Sonic fan.
