Lilac, a dragon, Carol a wildcat and canine Milla.Lilac can twirl through the air for extra height and dash through the air to reach higher areas and attack multiple enemies.

The game’s characters were designed by artist Ziyo Ling whom DiDuro found via DeviantArt – a known goldmine of Sonic fan art…ahem – and while the characters were redesigned, you can still clearly see shades of the Sonic characters they originally started as like Cream and Dr Robotnik and while it ultimately doesn’t make any difference to how much fun I had with the game, it wold have been nice to see some greater differentiation in design from their early beginnings, though enemies are refreshingly varied. Freedom Planet is a retro-styled adventure for the Wii U straight out of the Sega Mega Drive era that plays like a love letter to Sonic the Hedgehog and Ristar but takes the right steps into modernity when it needs to.įreedom Planet started its life as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan project by independent developer Stephen DiDuro before he decided to try steering the game towards being something original instead of simply being derivative of an existing product.
