==Plot==
The story focuses on Angelo the Hedgehog, a dark blue hedgehog that looks like Sonic, Shadow, and Silver. And with the Fusion one, Shadic. He is said to be the "Utmost Ultimate Life Form" that was born 1,000 years ago, and has died. However, after his death, he was warped from the Paradox Prism after the Mephiles incident. And is surrounded in mystery as there are no records of him at that time and he cannot remember his past. As such, he would spend various days repeating the same questions: who he is and why he was enhanced. Angelo was soon experimented by Prof. Gerald Robotnik, adding his mechanical arms and legs, and with a new kicks. Prof. Gerald Robotnik didn't go wrong with his Project: Angelo. As soon as he had the Paradox Prism, he noticed that Angelo wants to fight onto something, Mephiles. Gerald makes Angelo getting sucked onto the Paradox Prism, and do what it's done for him.
On what seems to be another usual day, Angelo is standing on a building, still puzzled about his past. A newspaper with the headline of celebrations taking place in Philippines now that the Sinulog Festival on Philippines Today blows by in the breeze as the day was extended to 10, catching on the hedgehog's leg, then blowing off into the distance. Angelo pays it no mind as he struggles to recover all the pieces of his past with the only memory he has, which involve him as Angelo fighting Mephiles and dies, and being alive and was enhanced by Dr. Gerald Robotnik 70 Years ago, as Mephiles is looking onto Angelo. He continues to ask himself who he was, why he cannot remember anything, and Mephiles fighting him.
As Hydro ponders, the sky is suddenly engulfed in sparky, rainbow-ish and colored clouds. From the center of these clouds, Angelo makes friends with Sonic and his friends, including Hydro, but the only problem is Mephiles killing him and why Mephiles makes war onto Angelo. One of the alien creatures, a squid-like cycloptic being called Doom's Eye, approaches the hedgehog and projects a hologram of the awakened Mephiles. Mephiles cryptically informs Angelo that the "day of reckoning" is soon to come and instructs him to collect all seven Super Emeralds and Overlord Emeralds and bring them to him "as promised". Not knowing what the leader was speaking of, Angelo demands answers, but the hologram ends and Doom's Eye retreats, with an sudden array of explosions keeping Shadow from pursuing. Angelo thinks about those emeralds, but he only trust Mephiles getting the emerald, but the only thing is he doesn't remember him as Mephiles is trying to manipulate him.
Bewildered by what just happened, Angelo figures that if Mephiles truly knows if Angelo trusts Mephiles, then he had a choice to get the Super Emeralds and the Overlord Emeralds, he will also think if it's use to be the good guy and if it's be used to be the bad guy. Believing that the Overlord Emeralds are the key to the truth about his past, Angelo sets off to find them, his frozen heart now beginning to move as an epic adventure to uncover the mysteries of his identity begins. After his release again, Mephiles orchestrated a centuries-long plan to Manipulate from Sonic and his friends and Angelo making angry, which succeeded when he killed Sonic the Hedgehog. He then re-merged with Black Doom, making something more bigger than earth. As Hydro trapped in the void, he's now a projectile that helps Angelo. With the help of Sonic and his friends, Angelo will get his revengeance from Mephiles. Yet there's another that got warped on the Paradox Prism, Shahra, Merlina, and King Arthur. Angelo takes onto his secret base as the world Sonic didn't know Angelo ever had a secret base. Angelo looks at himself. His hands, his foot, it was chopped by Mephiles, and the Scientist, Gerald Robotnik added additional mechanical arms and mechanical legs so that Angelo can move again, as the Project: Angelo didn't go wrong, Gerald Robotnik is in belief. He was never asked to tell Angelo to destruct or destroy worlds, he doesn't know what to do with Angelo. 
In the city of Cebu, Philippines, Angelo gets caught in the crossfire between the soldiers of the Iblis and the Black Arms. During which, he meets his old rival, Mephiles, who wants to take revenge with. Along the way, he finds a Super Emerald and Overlord Emerald and continues forward to locate the next one. However, he also encounters Doom's Eye, from which Black Doom communicates to Shadow. Angelo needs to get betrayal between Black Doom and Mephiles. The destruction along the way from the Sinulog Festival takes encounter. Either way, the black hedgehog's presence during the invasion is then made known to GUN's Commander, who holds a deep grudge against him and hunt Angelo down when they got manipulated. Angelo was in deep confusion of what's happening. Meanwhile, the President declares that humanity must stand united to repel the Black Arms and Mephiles, and after witnessing the aliens' senseless destruction, Dr. Eggman decides to put an end to it and deploys his Eggman Fleet against the invaders. Eggman gives all the Super Emeralds to Angelo to fight of Black Doom and find Mephiles. Angelo will have to fight Black Doom. After the heroes win, they will get the last Overlord Emerald. Angelo will say that he will take down the Black Arms with Sonic and his friends' support, therefore fulfilling Maria's last request to protect the earth. 
Shadow had obtained all seven Overlord Emeralds aboard the Black Comet. Mephiles then appears before him and commands that Angelo must give up the Emeralds so that they can begin the "Ritual of Awakening Solaris." Just then, Sonic, Shadow, and Silver arrives, followed by Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Omega, and even Eggman, to tell Angelo not to listen to Mephiles, as the alien plans to destroy the planet. Mephiles rebukes this, claiming that he will make Angelo take peace as Sonic and the others are threats to Angelo. Angelo didn't decide who to listen, and are offering salvation and peace. He then reveals that he also plans to harvest the humans as an energy source for his race, shocking Angelo and others. Suddenly, he takes the Emeralds and from Angelo and uses Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet down to the surface of the Earth, where it creates tendrils to anchor itself to the planet. 
Mephiles then explains that he killed Angelo and gets the Super Emeralds, which were needed to bring the comet down to the surface. Angelo becomes distraught by this revelation and becomes unresponsive while Eggman is in disbelief that Angelo is a demigod who got killed by Mephiles and gets the Super Emerald 1,000 years ago. Sonic and the others prepare to fight back, but their bodies are then suddenly paralyzed by a special gas being emitted from the comet. Mephiles gloats on his victory and leaves them to be devoured by his alien offspring. As the end seems near, Angelo suddenly hears Gerald's voice asking for help, which assists him in regaining his composure. He then shows that he is immune to the gas by standing up and stepping on one of the leeches, shocking Mephiles. Angelo then states that he has left his past behind him and has become determined to destroy Mephiles. Enraged that Angelo would betray his rival, Mephiles threatens to take back the life he gave Angelo. But Angelo uses his magnetic powers to obtain the Overlord Emeralds, suddenly making Angelo and Mephiles going Hyper, and drag themselves out of Black Comet and fought each other. 
After an intense fight, Mephiles is defeated and falls to his demise. Shadow then uses a hyper-powered Chaos Control to warp the Black Comet back into the planet's orbit before destroying it completely using the Eclipse Cannon. Everyone on the Earth cheers in joy as the alien threat has been destroyed forever. Sonic and friends congratulate Shadow for his success while Eggman attempts to sneak away to obtain the Chaos Emeralds, only to pursued by Knuckles. The President decides to honor Gerald's memory by working toward a better future, with the Commander in full agreement. But... Solaris was awakened. Everyone on earth panicked as Sonic and the others saw Solaris, facing Angelo. Angelo closes his eyes for to fight what he believes for. Angelo clenches his fist and fights Solaris by himself as Sonic, Silver, and Shadow's hyper powers won't be enough.

==Gameplay==
Angelo can teleport to any place and use pyschokinesis and hand-to-hand fighting skills to defeat enemies. Another new feature in the game is the addition of Vehicles such as Motorcycle that Angelo may drive though most of the vehicles are optional. Angelo can run faster than the vehicles, and faster than Sonic, Shadow, and Silver. Angelo can use the Super Emeralds when he gets it all, he will turn to Super Angelo. Angelo will take friendly-fire to any other characters or co-ops, but it may not damage their health. The Super Emeralds and Overlord Emeralds play a major role in this game. They aid Angelo's memories and powers and makes Angelo an overlord Hedgehog. Angelo also uses Shadow, Sonic, and Silver's moveset with a buffed damage, and for Angelo becoming Hyper, it can be performed after filling up the player's "Hero", "Normal" and "Dark" gauges which is for Hyper Angelo Only. Angelo can use his abilities like Aeon Maximun Punch, Kick Buster, Super Aeon Wave, Master Puncher, Fierce Death, Super Eye Laser, Tension Of Fire, and Creep Teleportation.
The player mainly controls Angelo the Hedgehog. For some missions, they also team up with various characters from the series, such as Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Amy Rose, Charmy Bee, Doom's Eye, Dr. Eggman, E-123 Omega, Espio the Chameleon, Knuckles the Echidna, Shahra, Miles "Tails" Prower, Rouge the Bat, Sonic the Hedgehog and Vector the Crocodile. While they are controlled by an AI by default, most of these characters can be controlled by a second player like in the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube versions of the game by connecting a second controller and playing in a "co-op mode". These characters can run, jump, and attack under the second player's influence. Some allies have different attacks compared to others however: 
*Amy: Can perform the Punch and Jump Dash.
*Espio: Can perform kicks and chops and a a small Jump Dash.
*Knuckles: Can perform the Punch, but slightly differently from the other allies' punches, and the Jump Dash.
*Omega: Can Attack with his arms, but differently from others punches and Jump Dash.
*Maria: Can Punch, but only jump one foot off the ground and cannot use the Jump Dash.
*Rouge: Can perform kicks and the Jump Dash.
*Sonic: Can perform the Homing Attack and Punch. Sonic's Homing Attack in particular can aim towards targets outside the usual range.
*Tails: Can perform the Tail Swipe and Jump Dash.
*Vector: Can bite the enemy and perform the Jump Dash.
*Shadow: Can perform the Homing Attack, Punch, and Chaos Control. Chaos Control enable Shadow to teleport/warp from opponents.
*Silver: Can perform Spin Dash, Homing Attach, Punch, and Psychokinesis. Psychokinesis enable to help the player by dashing through enemies.
If an ally is controlled by an AI, they will act differently compared to the others. If it is a playable ally, they will attack any nearby enemy if Angelo gets within range. Some allies will use their attack and others will jump to attack an enemy. Hero allies will always attack Eggman's robots and Black Arms soldiers (even if they themselves tell Shadow not to harm the former). The allies overall act as combat support and guidance and give help to Angelo should he need it.
The gameplay is similar to that of the other titles in the Devil May Cry series, focusing on fast-paced "stylish action"; The player fights off hordes of different enemies with a variety of attacks and weapons. They receive a style rating for combat based on several factors, such as move variety, the length of a combo, and dodging attacks. The game's music changes based on the player's performance in combat. Every time the player interacts with the mechanic Shadow or finds a statue, Angelo can buy new abilities for each character. While there are three playable characters, the game forces the player to use only one per mission.
Angelo can use a Katana weapon called Dragon. It also looks like Vergil reappears as a playable character in the Devil May Cry series. It also carries over his playstyle like Vergil from the fourth game's DMC Special Edition, including the Concentration gauge system and weaponry. Angelo can enable the Nephilim trigger, Angelo can also use Judgement Cut using Dragon. This also has Stylish Ranks, those are measurements of how "Stylish" the player's combat is, and is represented in the Stylish Rank Gauge. It is a constant struggle maintaining the steadily-depleting Style gauge in order to reap greater rewards from battle. Once the gauge fills up, a new Style grade is reached, denoted by a higher letter. The full names for each grade vary between the games, but it always starts with D, and ends with a variation of S. The Stylish Rank at the time of an enemy's death determines how many Rings they will relinquish (and possibly Star Rings), and it is a main component of the final mission score. The Stylish Rank is now represented by a gauge. As players land successful hits and dodge attacks, the gauge increases. Once filled up, it will go up a rank. Phantom Rush also can be used too as the Style goes up and receives number of combos.
===Style Rankings===

Hyper Form/Dark Form	Dirty! 	Cruel!	Banger! 	Astonishing Awesomeness!	Supreme!	So Called Lifeform!!	SSShitstorm!!! 	UTMOST ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!!!!
Angelo is also able to quickly dodge and counter attacks and can even parry attacks with the right and advanced timing. The Homing Attack's combat mechanics have also been modified, keeping Angelo stuck to his enemy and allowing for a flurry of follow-up strikes. The player prefers more straightforward gameplay however, the game also has an Auto Mode where various attack combos can be executed with a single button. Defeating enemies will reward the player with collectable Experience Points that they can use to purchase new skills from a skill tree. Some abilities in particular are unlocked through story progression while others are unlocked through the skill tree. A "level up" system is also present, which allows Angelo to gradually become stronger and faster over the course of the game by improving the following four parameters: speed, attack, defense and Ring capacity. Some skills can also be used for Hyper, Super, and Dark states.
In addition, players are free to choose how to go about each mission through Styles, which change the way Angelo fights, thus allowing diverse ways to gain Stylish points. High-Speed Style focuses on evasion techniques, allowing the player to deftly dodge attacks of any kind, it offers more speed, which is great for players, and this will be also used for attacking enemies quickly. Swordmaster Style focuses on melee combat. It allows maximum use of such weapons to their fullest extent and is recommended for those, who prefer close-quarters combat. Gunslinger Style brings about the best in each firearm allowing the player to unleash devastating firepower at a distance. Action Style helps with more accurate platforming, Recommended for expert players, this is the style that is harder to master, which is perfected, makes Angelo more faster. Dark Slyer Style allows Angelo to take onto Dark Aura used also from his Dark Form, Angelo can use the power of darkness to obtain new weapons and skills by leveling the style.

Angelo the Hedgehog: Special Edition is a re-release of Angelo the Hedgehog with an impressive list of added content: 
* It is now possible to play as Mephiles on a separate save file. Mephiles fights with only 3 melee weapons (Beowulf, and Force Edge) and only has one style same as Angelo, Dark Slayer. He plays through the same levels and stages as Angelo but without the voiced cutscenes and behaves like him during scripted scenes. He also still fights a "Mephiles" boss three times, however, this boss has a red coat to differentiate it from player Mephiles. 
**You can also use Mephiles's Super Form, it needs 1000 Rings to make Mephiles going onto Super Form, and with Chaos Emeralds.
**You can also play as Sonic, Shadow, or Silver, including Dr. Eggman.
*The game difficulty modes were shifted down so that the Special Edition's Hedgehog of The Wind mode is equivalent to the original's Hedgehog of The Wind mode, and a new Ultimate Dark-ish Thoughts mode was added to replace the original It's Dark as You Think mode.
*The Bloody Palace based from Devil May Cry 5 was also added, though it ends at the 100th floor instead of restarting, and beating it with either character allows them to obtain their first Super States without completing the Ultimate Dark-ish Thoughts mode.

==Difficulty Modes==
=== Original===
Angelo the Hedgehog is said to be the most difficult game in the series, and the original release Is often regarded as one of the most difficult games of all time. Enemies and bosses generally get tougher while the player gets weaker as the difficulty increases.
The North American version of the original game had a key difference between its Japanese version and the subsequent releases with the Special Editon: the difficulty levels were shifted up by one, meaning that, for example, the NA "Easy-Peasy" would be equivalent to JPN "Hedgehog of The Wind" and the NA "It's Dark as You Think" did not exist in the JPN version at all, and would later become the "It's Dark as You Think" mode of the Special Editon. Unlike Devil May Cry 3, Angelo the Hedgehog is harder than DMC3.
===Special Edition===
====Multiplayer====
Here you can create your own character to take simulation all over the globe, therefore, Bloody Palace is the only map that appears in Pulse Mode, like Devil May Cry 5, players can also use weapons. You will obtain this Mode by completing ULTRAKILL!! mode. You can also use weapons based on the Devil May Cry series. This mode contains several hidden weapons and maps, and can be seen in building and streets. Multiplayer consists of multiple game modes, and many competitors.

==Reception==
Angelo the Hedgehog received mixed reviews from critics upon its release; the PlayStation 5 game was rated 91% on Metacritic, along with 87% on GameRankings. By July 9, 2026, the game's worldwide sales total exceeded four million. The game was later released as a part of two budget lines—Greatest Hits for the PlayStation 5, with this representing sales of at least 900,000, and Player's Choice for the GameCube, representing at least 450,000.
Much criticism stemmed from the welcome sense of maturity and, in particular, the addition of guns. Capcom said "This game is only based for teens only, this is also similar to the Cartoon The Mitchells vs The Machines, this game is not more violent than the game Shadow the Hedgehog. This is also not dark-edged, but it is also friendly-family and have humors". Game Informer staff Matt Helgeson said "This game contains the word 'SSShitstorm' on the game which is swearing, the weapons are okay for teens, please be reminded that children below 13+ won't have to play this, do also note that there are word like "Damn" in the game, but, this is only just once and not all scenes contains the word 'Damn'. Angelo the Hedgehog was a great game for teens and not much more like a game like Shadow the Hedgehog. This also have comedic humor for this game". Eurogamer staff writer Tom Bramwell felt that "Angelo the Hedgehog really felt for us, as long as it's not a darker-edged game, the gameplay and cutscenes were well made as the weapons were almost violent, Capcom decided to take its best that children below 13+ won't have to play this, this game is well-made and didn't even made the main character more edgy, and this game looks more simiar to Sonic Frontiers," with G4's X-Play and GameSpy staff writer Patrick Klepek thinking similarly. In contrast, Nintendo Power staff writer Steve Thomason rated the game 8.0 out of 10, stating that this "This is between lighter and darker take of the Sonic series, this game gaves us what we meant, Capcom decided not to make it more edgy for 13+ teens to play it. Although, This game reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with solving with a bit of violence." Thomason would go on to say that giving it this rating was his one of his best while working on the magazine and described the game as "between good and evil".
Capcom remastered one of the controls as the same controls were used in Shadow the Hedgehog like the Homing Attack, Game Informer's Matt Helgeson complained that the attack "this is kind of a remastered from Shadow the Hedgehog, however this game is not even worse, it's about not careening off into nothingness, resulting in cheap death after cheap death," with Nintendo Power, X-Play, Eurogamer, Official Xbox Magazine, and GameSpy agreeing. Other complaints focused on the mechanics of weapons and vehicles. Greg Mueller of GameSpot felt that the guns were nearly useful because of an experienced aiming ability. Like Devil May Cry 5, it also looks like a gameplay of Dante shooting his Ebony and Ivory and it shows the sight seen from the enemies. However, Capcom claimed that "blasting Angelo's foes with the wide variety of weapons without violent reaction is clearly good. This will also be like Dante shooting one of the Demons in the entire Devil May Cry series, Angelo the Hedgehog does not contain blood and gore".
The many possible paths through the game caused reviewers to praise the game's replay value. Rating the game 8.3 out of 10, GameTrailers stated that "this choose-your-own-adventure style gives the game replay value that many platformers can experience with it's best, like Sonic Frontiers." The Melbourne, Australia, publication Herald Sun, and Official Xbox Magazine thought similarly. Nintendo Power agreed, although criticizing the difficulty of the missions that require the player to locate objects. Angelo the Hedgehog was voted the best game of 2026 in The Game Awards for best level, music, gameplay, acting, character designs, and Anticipated Game. The game won the awards instead of Genshin Impact.
