When you talk about Freedom Planet, it’s hard to not mention the Sonic series. I say that due to how clear the similarities are with how speed is a focus in level design, core gameplay having Sonic elements and the original Freedom Planet originating as a Sonic fan production before morphing into it’s own original franchise. But with Sonic scrapping his feet to go on two adventures in 2017 through Sonic Mania and Project 2017, the place for Freedom Planet as a series is quite interesting.

The original did it’s own thing to great effect but with the sequel, it feels even further from Sonic then before. I say this as a good thing however, as my time with Freedom Planet 2 has me very excited for the full release in the future. Today I was able to spend over two hours with the Sample Version the developers released online for all to play and I wanted to share my thoughts on it.
So lets explore Dragon Valley and see what new tricks Lilac & friends picked up since the original release of Freedom Planet!

Remember the days of little mini games being contained with DVD’s you owned as a child? I remember those quite fondly, even if the mini-games that were on them weren’t very good. But to think full indie-quality games can be found within Blu-Ray Disks! That’s right; KonoSuba Season 2 isn’t just releasing on Blu-Ray in the future but it will contain a special game that is remarkably similar to old-school Mega Man.
It looks quite fun and you can see the trailer for the title above this text. No word on whenever it’s exclusive to the Blu-Ray or if you can purchase it on Steam in the future but we will cover more on this as the story develops. I loved what I saw; it really looks like a quality Mega Man-like game.
