Freedom Planet - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo E3 2018

The indie hit Freedom Planet is coming to Nintendo Switch! Freedom Planet is a fast-paced combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. The campaign may be played through as Lilac, Carol, or the unlockable Milla, each of whom has completely unique gameplay mechanics, an altered story mode in which the selected character takes the lead, and even a few of her own unique stages. Freedom Planet is available on Nintendo Switch Fall 2018!

"This doesn't look like its ripped off Sonic, it just looks inspired by Sonic." -Alpharad

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

Yep

[@beauwalker9820]

It also has a bit of Sparkster, Gunstar Heroes, and early Sega Saturn sidescrollers. Not to mention it's own stuff too.

[@MaoweDAshi]

Literally this is said by the devs of Freedom planet themselves... I know cause i met them before

[@dumbassdiana9367]

It was originally a fan game

[@jfiffl7]

No. Its titled specificly: "Freedom Planet"

[@CrisisghostOM]

Give it a chance guys! The game is fun and the soundtrack amazing, the sequel it's on the works

Orange Spoon Sonic also has great music.......

[@slipperybrocoli5967]

Leonardo Balleza ? What does that have to do with anything? The game plays significantly different from Sonic, and playing this doesn't prevent you from playing a Sonic game. Seriously, what is the point of your comment?

[@transientrose]

It's sad how many people are calling this a Sonic ripoff. The game was merely inspired by Sonic. The game is actually really awesome in more ways than one, and I encourage everyone to give it a chance. You may be surprised ^^

[@beauwalker9820]

It also has inspiration and similarities from other games like Ristar, Gunstar Heroes, Sparkster, and other 16-bit, and 32-bit 2D games. Though, in a good way, and the game is still quite original.

[@whiskii]

Fyi Nintendo users- this game is terrific. And you're all thinking 'Looks like Sonic'. Well the creator was in fact making a fan-made, retro sonic game to please old-skool fans of the genre, but the game was turning out so good that a Deviant Art artist offered to design new characters. The rest is history, but I played this masterpiece on Steam 2 years ago and I'd highly recommend.

[@darkflamesquirrel]

I second this. Amazing game, and its a pity that people are passing this off as just another Sonic clone. Its far better than Sonic IMO and this is coming from a Sonic fan.

[@azurewarrior2000]

The DA Artist didn't design those characters... She CREATED them (well, only Lilac, Carol and Milla). Torque and Spade were created by the person who originally created the game itself.

[@BronyBladeGaming]

"A game that's absolutely Not Sonic." -Alpharad

[@ThisIsCSDX]

It's Classic Sonic's spiritual successor before Mania happened, so...

[@jerichozorua999]

It's actually better, because DRAGONS!!!

[@YDarkLinkY]

actual its a better then then sonic itself

[@conanthefan101]

It was designed to be a sonic fan game till the developers realized how good it actually is, so they hired a deviant artist to make the characters. That's about how it happened, I probably missed to mention other factors or even got some points wrong and if that's the case, go ahead and correct me.

[@bctalicorn809]

"So to my surprise, I am enjoying Freedom Planet much more than the earlier Sonic games, so I am going to look for something worse. As the 'Not' Series is not known for good games." -Alpharad

Nice to see this game is really getting the attention it deserves. As to all the people who are saying this is sonic: This game is way different. Play for yourself and find out.

[@FloofPuppy]

[@FullHitPoints]

@Photo Nerd Yeah, you've _never_ played the game _at all._ If you did, you'd realize just how inaccurate that statement is.

[@Seraphna]

Photo Nerd Your spam of false claims really makes me wonder what your beef is with this game. Every post is an outright lie.

[@MenuMinyu]

Connor Mcinnis guys he is right They just copied sonic In the classic sonic games they had punching and kicking,ridable motorcycles, Voice acting in cut scenes, swimming for all the characters and rideable tank and dragon Cause those were totally in the classic sonic games +999999 sarcasm Only people that played freedom planet would understand that joke which that guy obviously didn't I played all the classic sonic games and last time I check the only few sonic games that you can drive vehicles (not sky chase) Is sonic drift,all stars, sonic adventure 1 and 2 and generations

[@raphael3655]

This is a good game trust me. It's better than 90% of sonic games out there. You can finish the game within 3-5 hours but my play time is 35 hours. It has high replayable values, and they are coming out with the second game next summer which looks amazing. I strongly recommend checking this game out

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

Looking forward to the sequel. It's getting additional challenge modes which looks like loads of fun and the characters are fun to play as (based off the demo i played on Steam)

He said "at first i thought this was a sonic game" which implies that he does not think that now. But i agree with you. This game has alot of different mechanics than your typical sonic game. I don't know how people think that this game is a Sonic game.

[@gammagantle]

I bet the only Genesis platformers most of the commenters played are the Sonic games. Because FP takes heavy heavy inspiration from games like Gunstar Heroes, Rocket Knight, and Ristar as well. Like how Shovel Knight does this with the NES games.

I bought it twice digital (PC and Switch) and bought it again physical on Switch. Honestly, its better than Sonic 1-3K to me and I played those games for over 200+ hours from 1991-1998

​@@Turbotef my god 3 years and im still waiting on FP2

[@mastertjt56]

I love how people are saying this is a rip off of Sonic and people using Alpharad's quotes. This game WAS inspired by Sonic not a copy. Sega themselves supported the creators of this game. This is coming from a sane Sonic fan. Also Mania was cool but not that AMAZING everyone says it is

[@theminecraft2516]

Yeah I don’t think Mania is the best Sonic game since I still prefer SA2, Generations, Heroes, and Sonic 3. I still think Mania deserves a lot of praise since it was 15x better than Sonic Teams new game at the time

IS GOING TO STOP ME

[@Seraphna]

SEGA actually gave their express blessing to the developer to make this game.

[@slipperybrocoli5967]

JJSponge120 The game actually plays quite a bit differently from sonic. One example is that you can walk past enemies without taking damage. You only take damage from actual enemy attacks which makes a big difference in the way you play. There are various other small but important changes that separate this game from 2D sonic. On top of that, this game was made before Mania, so Sega hadn't made a 2D sonic game since Sonic 4 Part 2 in 2012, which was very bad btw.

Freedom Planet & Knuckles

[@Snotnarok]

Knee jerk comments are funny. It's not Sonic, you can't play it anything like Sonic because it doesn't share any of the mechanics. Lilac can dash in the air and bounce off walls, double jump with a hover, kick and stomp kick to do a lot of damage or get boosted speed on hills Carol claws enemies or roll through them while being able to double her move set with a motorcycle. Mila can hover jump for higher air, use a shield to reflect attacks, throw big murder cubes and use the cubes as a short range blast. Characters can attack and special attack, parry enemy attacks and have life bars. If that sounds like Sonic to you, you've been playing a game different from everyone else. I guess Donkey Kong is the same as Sonic since he can roll around and into enemies right?

[@coreyferreyra]

Wow, Jazz Jackrabbit 4 looks amazing.
