Sonic Legions

Sonic Legions is a game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by AlpacaSoft along with the team behind Sonic Mania, composed of Christian Whitehead, PagodaWest Games and Headcannon. The game is made for the PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch and later came out for PC through Steam.
Legions follows seven trios of characters on their own quests to defeat a new powerful villain, Aeon the Eternal, who wants to locate the Null Star and become the ultimate being to destroy the world.
== Gameplay ==
Sonic Legions is, in concept, similar to the game Sonic Heroes, in that the game is divided into the stories of the different teams, of which there are seven, , , , , , and . Each team, as one could guess, goes through the set of levels in their story and fights various bosses. The differences from Heroes begin with the fact that the game is two-dimensional, in the style of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but also mainly in that the trios don't go into a zone all at once, the player gets to choose which of the team members they play as, between the three classes, Speed, Flight and Power.
Speed characters, like Sonic and Espio, have their level paths focused on getting from point A to B quickly, they have the highest normal jumps and reach their top speed with ease. Flight characters, such as Tails and Rouge, focus on going vertically, reaching high areas to progress through the zone, and finally, Power characters, like Knuckles and Eggman, bust through breakable walls and are able to hit enemies directly, without jumping on them, at the cost of being rather slow and not having very high jumps.
Legions sports a multiplayer versus mode, where two players pick their team and character and race each other through a chosen zone, to see who can make it to the goal first, the player can also unlock other modes, such as "Vs. Boss Mode" which is a versus multiplayer mode for fighting bosses seen through the levels, and "Boss Rush Mode" which is a sort of battle royale where one player has to defeat every boss in the game (Not counting the Final Story boss) and get the best time.
Special stages make a return, here, they are basically maze levels, where the player has to make their way through them with enough rings to open the next gate, gain a time bonus and a new ring quota, this is done three times in order to get a Chaos Emerald, all seven of which are necessary to get the true final boss and ending. Only one team needs to get the seven emeralds to unlock the Final Story, along with beating all of the seven default team stories.
== Characters ==
=== Team Hero ===
This team is made up of Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna, the three heroes of Mobius who are always up to stop any bad guys trying to take over or destroy the world. This team is the normal difficulty mode.
	Sonic 	The fast, energetic and loud-mouthed leader of Team Hero, known by many as the "Blue Blur", Sonic is always glad to help whoever needs him most. 	Speed
	Tails 	Sonic's best friend, the intelligent flying fox, Tails, who can use his two tails as propellers to reach tall places that most others can't get to. 	Flight
	Knuckles	Knuckles the Echidna is the guardian of the Master Emerald, but he's not very bright. He is capable of gliding for a short time and climbing up walls, along with delivering intense punches.	Power
=== Team Dark ===
A team made up of Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega; Unlike Team Hero, Team Dark rarely helps those in need and are in on this for their own benefit of not getting destroyed by Aeon. Their levels are usually more difficult than Team Hero's.
	Shadow	Shadow is a hedgehog with a dark past, made by Gerald Robotnik to be the ultimate lifeform and losing his only friend, Maria, early into his life, he takes matters into his own hands and has somewhat of a dislike for people like Sonic.	Speed
	Rouge 	A government treasure hunter and femme fatale, Rouge usually calls the shots for her team, as she has many of the skills needed to accomplish their objectives. 	Flight
	Omega 	The last E-series robot created by Eggman, Omega is the most powerful of his kind and helps Shadow and Rouge in the quest to stop Aeon. 	Power
=== Team Rose ===
An all-female team made up of Cream the Rabit, Blaze the Cat and their leader, Amy Rose, who is in search of Sonic, her love interest, and ends up following him in his adventure. Team Rose is easier than Team Dark and Team Hero.
	Amy Rose	A hedgehog girl in search of Sonic, leading her to be a part of the adventure to defeat Aeon. She has access to her hammer to attack enemies, as she doesn't roll up to jump. 	Speed
	Cream 	A young, cheerful rabbit who can fly with her ears, using them as wings, she is always accompanied by her Chao, Cheese. 	Flight
	Blaze 	Blaze is a fire-controlling princess from another world who joined Team Rose after Big left them to live a more peaceful life with Froggy. Blaze lacks much physical strength, so she fights with her fire abilities.	Power
=== Team Chaotix ===
Team Chaotix is a group of detectives comprised of Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee, they are hired for a few missions before they are roped into the battle against Aeon. Their stages more often than not have a secondary objective that the player can accomplish while going through them.
	Espio 	A ninja chameleon who can throw different weapons, such as shurikens and kunais, he's the team's main investigator, given his camouflage abilities. 	Speed
	Charmy	Charmy is Team Chaotix' expert tracker, due to his small size and ability to fly. He looks and sounds like he'd be a naive child, but he takes his job seriously, like the rest of his team.	Flight
	Vector	The leader of Team Chaotix, Vector the Crocodile may seem like he's not that bright, but nothing gets in the way of him and the reward for his crew's hard work. 	Power
=== Team Babylon ===
More well known as the Babylon Rogues, Team Babylon went after Aeon along with everyone else when their base of operations, the Cloudy Oasis, is attacked. Their stages are built around staying on the upper path, while lower routes are available, they are harder than the uppermost ones.
	Jet 	Jet the Hawk is the leader of the Babylon Rogues, a rival to Sonic and a proud descendant of the past members of his group, Jet doesn't let anyone beat him and his team so easily.	Speed
	Wave 	Wave is the team's mechanic for races, but here, she is simply able to fly and glide around the stages, making it easy to stay on the top routes. 	Flight
	Storm	The intimidating and silent type, Storm the Albatross shows no mercy towards the Badniks and other enemies he destroys on his way through zones. 	Power
=== Team Bounty ===
A group of mercenaries that take out targets for cash, the team is made up of Dean the Cheetah, Nena the Raven and Huang the Panda. Much like Team Chaotix, their stages have secondary objectives, usually consisting of defeating a certain amount of enemies or a specific rare enemy somewhere in the stage.
TBA
=== Team Egg ===
Doctor Eggman's own team, consisting of Metal Sonic, an Egg Robo and Eggman himself, in an Egg Mobile mech. Team Egg's stages are very challenging, at the same level as Team Dark, if not harder. Their story also starts before everyone else's, as Eggman was the one who awoke Aeon in the first place.
TBA
=== Others ===
TBA	Aeon the Eternal	The game's main villain, the leader of an ancient hedgehog tribe that had basically gone extinct, but Eggman revived Aeon in a plan to use him to take over the world, but he rebeled and swore to find what he called the Null Star, which would turn him into the ultimate being and allow him to destroy the "pitiful new world" he found himself in. Throughout the game, Aeon hijacks many of Eggman's machines and puts them to use against the protagonists as the bosses of each zone act.
