I’ve never played a 3D Sonic fangame that had this much passion and care for the series. Especially the level where you’re climbing up a giant tree and later escaping a massive flood rushing behind you at maximum velocity! It’s really exhilarating! Also, the music throughout the stages, to my knowledge is all original and sounds very professional. The graphics look really nice, using Unreal Engine 4. The game is surprisingly challenging but in a good way! As the levels are broken up, ranging from boost gameplay to stopping from time to time to do some carefully designed platforming. Not to mention a few Tornado flying levels.
The gameplay is a combination of platforming and boost. But this fist episode will keep you busy for hours: playing as Sonic, Shadow and flying the Tornado with Tails. Apparently the game is being released in episodes. It has the tone and personality of a Sonic Adventure game and Sonic has his cool, carefree personality back. Nearly everything in this demo, from art to sound to the gameplay engine, was made from scratch.So I just beat the first episode of the Sonic fangame Sonic Omens and it was…AWESOME! This is how a 3D Sonic fangame should be done! SEGA you better take notes! Music, story, level design, gameplay, all original. The trailer’s blurb reads: “Sonic Utopia is an experiment that not only tries to expand on Sonic gameplay in an intuitive way in 3D, but also aims to capture the best of Sonic’s style and tie it together in a cohesive experience. We’re obviously holding out hope that next year’s Project Sonic will do the business, 100 per cent fan-made, nothing-to-do-with-Sega Sonic Utopia looks like the modern-day Sonic game we’ve all fantasised about.Ĭreated entirely from the ground up by The Great Lange and a programmer named Murasaki, Sonic Utopia looks like it takes that sense of frantic speed from the original games and adapts it admirably for a 3D game world. Nothing anyway that can hold a candle to some of the plumber’s genre-defining adventures. When the ring-hogging hedgehog burst emphatically onto the scene in the early 90s, he looked (literally) unstoppable.īut we don’t need to tell you that, unlike Mario, Sonic’s shift into the third dimension has been troubled at best, and to this day there still hasn’t been a truly excellent 3D Sonic game. Sega’s speedy mascot is one of video gaming’s enduring icons, but sometimes it’s difficult to see why.
