Our take on Freedom Planet
Character abilities shape movement as much as combat: Lilac flies and spins with dragon powers, while Carol uses motorcycles to ride along walls and ceilings.
What is Freedom Planet?
Freedom Planet is a combat-focused platform adventure set on Avalice, where Lilac and her friends fight an alien attack force.
Lilac uses dragon abilities to whip enemies, spin, and fly at high speed, while Carol attacks with punches, kicks, and motorcycles that ride up walls and ceilings. Stages combine combat, exploration, fast movement, hidden routes, treasures, crystals, and large boss encounters. Adventure mode includes voiced story cutscenes, while Classic mode removes interruptions and dialogue. Five elemental shields reflect specific attacks and provide additional benefits. Special unlocks include mini-games, achievements, artwork, and music.
