Sonic Rogue

Sonic Rogue is a video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. Inspired by a recent trend of popular triple-A game series experimenting with rougelike gamemodes (ex. God of War Valhalla and Splatoon 3: Side Order), Sonic Rogue was created with the goal of applying a similar structure to modern Sonic gameplay.
== Plot Summary ==
Sonic awakens after an otherwise uneventful sleep to find himself in the center of a strange futuristic city overlooked by a massive tower. He finds that he's awaken in a plaza beneath the tower, which is bordered by six large metal cylinders of unknown purpose. With little other ideas, he enters the tower to investigate.
After a tutorial run consisting of ten floors, Sonic encounters Dr. Eggman. After a brief skirmish, Eggman reveals that the city is a simulation he has trapped Sonic and his friends inside, and expels Sonic from the Tower, but not before Sonic swipes a keycard-like device. Upon landing, Sonic is met by Belle the Tinkerer, who reveals that the cylinders are stasis pods containing Sonic's friends, before using the keycard Sonic obtained to free Tails. However, doing so causes Sonic to enter a ghostlike state, as only one of them can be fully tangible, and thus, able to enter the Tower, at one time (Belle is exempt from this rule due to her nature as one of Eggman's robots). Belle reveals that the only way to escape the simulation is to reach the top of the Tower and defeat Eggman at the top, and that all of Sonic's friends will have to complete a run in order to escape.

== Gameplay ==
(work in progress)
Sonic Rogue is a 3D platforming action-adventure rougelike hybrid, though basic gameplay and control is most comparable to Sonic Frontiers. The bulk of gameplay takes place in the Tower; the Tower consists of 30 floors (basic floors having a length comparable to the Cyberspace stages from Frontiers), with a boss battle every 10 floors. The player selects a character from the Plaza, unlocked using keycards obtained by defeating bosses with any character for the first time. By default, the player starts a run with 3 lives and an extremely basic move set and stats, plus a special move unique to each character (Sonic gets the Spin Dash, Knuckles can glide, etc.), although more moves can be obtained by obtaining certain Chips.
Before each floor, the player is given three objectives to choose from, with more difficult floors giving better rewards. Upon selecting a floor, the player is given a Chip. These Chips provide different enhancements depending on their type: Speed Chips upgrade running speed and special moves, Flight Chips improve control in the air, Power Chips increase attack damage and unlock new combo moves for use in combat challenges, and Ring chips increase ring capacity and decrease the amount of rings lost on taking damage. Each character has a primary and secondary preference for Chip types (Sonic has a Speed/Ring preference, for example) that affects what Chips will be most likely to appear during a run. In addition, certain chips are unique to certain characters.
