Welcome to the resistance bunker, glad you made it in one piece! I'm Redhead On Moped and I'll be in charge of the briefing while Commander Knuckles is away. If you have a fighting spirit, then you have a place in our ranks. Let's do it to it!
Here's how it happened. Making yet another grab for global domination, Dr. Eggman launches a large-scale offensive on an urban center. It is a desperate time for survivors; all hope is lost! Then, out of nowhere, appears the heroic visage of the world's fastest supersonic hedgehog -Sonic- who makes short work of the surrounding forces. But Dr. Eggman has a surprise of his sleeve. Sonic find himself face to face with a troop of much tougher enemies. One wields a mysterious power which proves too much for our hero. Sonic is defeated and captured! his present status is unknown. With nobody left to stop him, it's a matter of a few short months before Dr. Eggman succeeds in conquering all but a tiny fraction of the world. Our best reports say only 1 percent remains free from his rule. Even in Sonic's absence, the survivors weren't ready to give up! A rag-tag resistance was formed, with Knuckles The Echidna as commander. Together with their latest recruit, they are ready to do what needs to be done.
The fate of the world is in your hands!
Lean, mean, eyes of green, Sonic The Hedgehog is ready to take on the forces of Dr. Eggman!
Commander of the resistance, Knuckles The Echidna doesn't chuckle; he'd rather flex his knuckles fighting Dr Eggman's evil army!
Miles Prower, known to his friends as Tails, has been out of it for months. Without Sonic, he seems to have lost direction in his life. His whereabouts are currently known only to few.
This pudgy blue hedgehog seems to have arrived out of thin air. As far as we can tell, he's a Pint-Sized Sonic From Another Dimension. Perhaps he holds a key to saving our world...
There you are Buddy! Thank you for joining our ranks. Armed with that wispon, you're sure to be an asset for the team! Wispons are the go to-weapon for you and your friends, be they bear, bird, cat, dog, rabbit, hedgehog, or wolf!
This mysterious entity is somehow even faster than Sonic. Witnesses say he's the one that defeated him. What's his connection to Dr. Eggman, and how can we stop him?
Large, and somehow in charge, Dr. Eggman must be stopped at all costs!
Bow your head low, all hail Shadow. From what we've learned, he was part of an infiltration operation alongside Team Dark, but contact was lost. Has he gone rogue?
There are 4 playable characters and 4 main gameplay styles in Sonic Forces. The first is Sonic/Shadow, where you race through the world in a style of play Similar to Sonic Unleashed (360) and Sonic Colors, minus the drifting. The second play style allows you to play as that Pint-Sized Sonic From Another Dimension, with controls similar to Sonic Mania, that's right, you get the drop dash! The next mode is all new, and it's all about your Buddy, the custom avatar hero! Buddy's look can be customized to suit your needs, but the kind of Buddy you pick changes the gameplay. Here's the score.
- Bear: Blows away enemies with a Homing Attack
- Bird: Flies high with Double Jump abilities
- Cat: Keeps one Ring after being hit
- Dog: Restarts with five Rings after the player dies
- Hedgehog: Collects Rings when getting damaged
- Rabbit: Has longer invincible time after receiving damage
- Wolf: Automatically draws in Rings when near them
Buddy's gameplay is all about the wispon, a new weapon that works alongside the various alien wisps which have stayed on Sonic's world. Each wisp gives you a different color power for Buddy to use, so experiment with what's best for you. The possibilities are... INFINITE! The final mode allows Buddy to team up with Sonic and unleashed the real super power of teamwork with the incredible double boost! This maneuver dashes through everyone in your path, and with Sonic's speed and Buddy's Wispon, you'll be unstoppable!
What are you waiting for? JOIN THE RESISTANCE!
