The first appearance of the skill tree! High-Speed Battle System!
The enemies in Starfall Islands, the setting of Sonic Frontier, are more durable than those in previous games in the series.
Therefore, it is important to not only push the enemy, but also to counter their attacks by parrying, breaking their guard, etc., and to take advantage of their attacks in order to inflict more damage.
Sonic can sense the "signs" of an enemy's attack, so counterattack by evading or parrying.
The starting point for this is the " homing attack.
This is Sonic's basic move, which automatically homing attacks when the target cursor is displayed, and combos are triggered by inputting "Homing Attack".
The " skill tree," which appears for the first time in the series, is a set of skills that can be connected from the "homing attack.
Skill trees are unlocked by collecting " skill pieces," which are obtained by winning battles and adventuring around the island.
As you learn more and more skills, your combos will be enhanced, and battles will become more fun.
Some of the skills that can be learned are "auto combos," which allow players to automatically perform a variety of attack combos with the touch of a button, so even those who are not good at action can enjoy exhilarating battles.
