[edit] Story

[edit] Gameplay

Sonic has the ability to help people, which will bring him closer to Knighthood, or smite them, which will take a hit to his reputation. At the end of a stage, it calculates his good deeds and his mistakes, giving his a score based on how many of each he did. He can buy items from villagers, which gives him bonuses and which the player can trade online with friends. One of the main differences from Sonic and the Secret Rings, apart from Sonic's sword, is that Sonic is controlled with the analogue stick on the Nunchuk, instead of using the tilt feature of the Wii Remote. A small swing with the Wii Remote makes Sonic do a basic slash, while more advanced combinations can produce parries and thrusts. The skills system from Sonic and the Secret Rings is back, but the developers are making sure it doesn't slow down the game's tempo. There are playable characters in this version, but they are completely optional. Two confirmed characters are Knuckles, who can wield two swords at once, and Shadow. Later they announced that Blaze and Silver will also be playable. Also, there will be 2D and 3D levels like in Sonic Unleashed.

[edit] Audio

The soundtrack will be done by Jun Senoue and the music will mostly be familiar Sonic tunes with a "Celtic vibe".
