Sonic Frontiers remembers our good memories through a new video freshly uploaded by SEGA. This time, the developers of the Sonic Team wanted to highlight the combat system as well as the skill tree. Because yes, the supersonic hedgehog will be able to unlock additional skills by picking up skill fragments from defeated enemies. Basically, the hero will have the teleguided attack, the vertical jump and the trampled blow, but against tougher opponents, it will not be enough. To improve his stats, Sonic will have the possibility of recovering red power points and blue defense seeds.
On the combat side, there will be a way to slam combos, knowing that a gauge will fill up as the blows are struck. Once full, the frenzy will trigger, which will have the effect of increasing the power of the character tenfold for a given time. The Sonic Boom is advertised as being effective at hitting enemies from a distance, not to mention the ferocious dash. To neutralize opponents equipped with a shield, it will be necessary to rely on the Course-loop which will also make it possible to recover the Rings in the event of damage suffered.
As for the clashes against the Guardians, they are presented as being tactical because it will be necessary to scrutinize their patterns to discover their weaknesses. Finally, in Sonic Frontiers, there will also be parries and counters, always with a view to inflicting maximum damage. In short, failing to thrill us with their open-world, the developers are trying to show that the mechanics will allow us to have fun. Answer on November 8, when the game will land on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
