History[]

Sonic Overload is a fan game developed by Heroic412229 and was first made a few years ago. During the making of the game, it went through a few name changes before it was decided to be called Sonic Overload, ex. Sonic Overdrive, Sonic Overland, etc. In Japan, it was named Sonic Turbo Adventure.

The idea and goal for Sonic Overload was to create a game that is able to take the player(s) on a journey into the world of Sonic by making the player(s) truly feel like they're the character(s) they're playing as and allow them to truly feel like they're on a true adventure without it being over-exaggerated. This was approached by a suggestion "What would it be like to actually live and move around in a world like Sonic's?" and Heroic412229 decided to choose both the graphics and story that is similar to Sonic Unleashed.

The 3 reasons for Heroic412229 to add extra characters in the game beside just Sonic and Sid were to add more variety to the game and he didn't want the focus to be just on the two main stories. The last reason was that he wanted to bring back the multiple characters aspect from games like Sonic Adventure and Sonic 06 and give each character a reasonable purpose to be in the game.

In terms of story, Heroic412229 wanted a story that would convince the player(s) that they are inside the world of Sonic and wanted to blend the tone of both lighthearted and serious into the game without taking itself too seriously on either tone. The main and side story concept was added in order for Heroic412229 to create simple but unique stories that complimented what the game was about.

Heroic412229 wanted the level design to be open-ended while still giving the player an idea of where the goal is. He also wanted each gameplay styles to not only focus on speed, platforming, and exploration but to be differentiate them in someway.

When coming up with a good theme for the game, Heroic412229 wanted a main theme that was supported by several supporting themes in each character's story. The main theme was supposed to be about epistemology and how everything exist for a reason/cause.

With some help from SpeedyBlue, along with some other friends, Heroic was able to created a script for the game that was at least passable for the series, though it's still being updated at the time.

Plot[]

About 10,000 years ago, there was a large village that housed a young and miserable panther whose true name was recently unknown at the time. He had no one to trust or look up to for help and support and was continuously treated poorly, even by himself. One day, he had enough and, after gaining his morality/empathetic powers, decided to them on the world to change everything. The gods heard of this and sealed him away to prevent him from causing potential harm. After what happened, he was given the name "Ominous" as a reminder of his extremely heinous actions, as well as put him in legend in order to make sure no one would dare to awaken him.

Gameplay[]

The game is basically divided into two main stories and nine side stories; After completing the two main stories, the player has the option to either choose to complete the side stories or final story. Much like the Adventure series, each story is told through different perspectives to know the characters goals in the game and how they play in each story. Each character has his/her own style of gameplay, some of which are recycled versions of the other with a few major differences. The main gameplay style is similar to other modern games as it focuses on a 2D/3D perspective. The Red Rings return to the game for more replay-ability. There are five rings in each level and collecting them unlocks concept art, new music, movies and the ability to unlock Super Forms in regular levels. Like most Sonic games, This game has a unique health system. Rings are collected and used for protection and earning lives. If the character gets hit by an enemy, they drop all of their rings and have to pick them before they disappear. If they get hit by an enemy without any rings, fall into a bottomless pit, drown, or get crushed, they lose a life and return to the checkpoint that they went through. If they get no lives, the game over screen will appear and they have to restart.

Unlike other games, Sonic Overload has over 25 playable characters with different abilities and gameplay styles. In this game, The player has the ability to choose whether type of gameplay style they desire, depending on the character. The game also included the ability to play a level with any character they choose, however, the levels' mechanics and gameplay changes in different orders, depending on the character the player is playing as. Despite this, all of the character's gameplay styles focus on how to finish a level while keeping up their momentum in order to finish the level as quickly as possible. Sonic Overload also has an Esports leaderboard that records and ranks data on the player's performance. Sonic Overload has a deep combo-system each with a different category, showing the player(s) what they did to earn it and a deep score multiplier that increases every time the player(s) does a perfect combo.

There are ten countries and nine stand-alone areas to explore and collect items. They are designed as a metroidvania-like style for puzzle solving, story-progression and exploration. They also contain items and vehicles that are used to advance through them. Each area has one vehicle to travel to another area, even to the Chao Gardens. Every hub world is playable in 3D. Every character in the hub worlds can be talked to. There are also missions in the hub worlds, Special Stages and rival battles. Bosses can be accessed through Boss Gates found at the end of each two levels.

In the 3DS version, unlike the Wii version, the gameplay and designs are similar to Sonic Rush, Though the Special Stages are based on Sonic 4 episode 2. There are ten missions per level.

Single Player[]

Sonic's Story[]

Sonic's levels and gameplay are similar to the daytime stages on Sonic Unleashed, which allow the player to get to the end of the stage, while destroying enemies and collecting rings along the way. Sonic's gameplay features moves like, Homing Attack, Spin Dash, Boost, Stomp and even Freestyle Tricks. He is the fastest character in the game.

Sonic's stages and gameplay consist of him running to get from point A to point B at high speed, platforming toward the levels to get to the Goal Ring, similar to original modern games.

Sid's Story[]

Sid's gameplay is a combination of Sonic's gameplay and Sonic Adventure 2's mech-shooting stages. His gameplay and stages are more run-and-gun oriented than the others. They allow Sid to use his Ergokinesis to shoot at enemies and crates, find secrets, and move through the levels at high speed in order to get to the Goal Ring.

Other Character's Gameplay[]

These side characters have their own gameplay and mechanics, but are only playable in the levels rather than the stories until they have their own story and levels.

Tails' Gameplay[]

Tails' gameplay is a slightly slower version of Sonic's that focuses on heavy-platforming and strategy. Tails' gameplay features moves used to solve puzzles, defeat enemies and find secrets while getting from point A to point B at high speed. These moves include his Flight, Tail Swipe, Spin Dash and his inventions.

Knuckles' Gameplay[]

Knuckles' gameplay consists of a platform-heavy, beat-em-up version of Sonic's gameplay. Knuckles uses melee and combat attacks to defeat enemies, collect items an traverse through the stages as fast as possible.

Amy's Gameplay[]

Out of all the other character's gameplay, Amy's gameplay is the most platform-heavy. Her gameplay and stages are similar to Sonic's, except more streamlined and more focused on platforming. Her stages involve using her hammer to defeat enemies, break capsules and crates, and traverse through the levels in order to get to the Goal Ring at high speed.

Shadow's Gameplay[]

Shadow's gameplay is similar to Sonic's, except harder and more combat-oriented. In Shadow's gameplay, Shadow fights more enemies than Sonic. Shadow's goal is to reach the Goal Ring at high speed, while destroying as many enemies as possible using his Chaos Powers, Spin Dash, Homing Attack, Kicks, etc.

Rouge's Gameplay[]

Rouge's gameplay is a more stealth-oriented version of Knuckles' gameplay. In Rouge's gameplay, she has to get from A to B as fast as she can without being spotted while defeating enemies, collecting rings and finding secrets along the way.

Cream's Gameplay[]

Cream's gameplay is similar to Tails' gameplay, except more easier and shorter than Tails'. She uses her chao, Cheese, to solve simple puzzles and attack enemies before reaching the Goal Ring.

Blaze's Gameplay[]

Blaze's gameplay is similar to Sonic and Shadow's, except more focused on acrobatics and using her pyrokinesis as long-ranged projectiles. Her stages involve using her pyrokinesis to shoot at enemies and run through the game with fast, acrobatic and fluid movement. She has the highest jumps out of all the characters.

Silver's Gameplay[]

Silver's gameplay is similar to his Sonic 06 gameplay, except his speed is much more faster and he is able to grab enemies without having to stun them first. Like Sonic 06, his gameplay and stages involve him using his psychokinesis to attack enemies, solve puzzles, and move through wide, open levels to get to the end of the Goal Ring at high speed

Team Chaotix' Gameplay[]

Team Chaotix' gameplay is a combination of both Sonic Heroes and Banjo-Kazooie. Like Sonic Heroes, the player(s) are able to control three characters and are able to choose between them at any time. Their gameplay involves getting to the end of the stage like the others, except their stages are more collectathon-based and more nonlinear than the others.

Two Player Mode[]

Just like Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Overland has a two player mode. 2P mode involves Sonic, Sid, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Rouge, Cream, Team Chaotix, Blaze, Silver, Virtual Hedgehogs, Mii, and even Unlockable Characters to race, fight or hunt for gems. Each type of stage has a split screen, except for the fighting stages. One or Two players has the advantage to choose whether levels to play in to race, fight or hunt for gems. Some of them reward the player with new costumes.

  • Racing - The player to reach the Goal Ring first wins.
  • Fighting - The player to knock out the other player wins.
  • Aerial Run - The first player to reach the goal in the air first wins.
  • Gem Hunt - The first player to find five gems wins.(optional)
  • Puzzle-Solving - The player to solve the most puzzles while reaching the goal wins.(optional)

There is also a Kart Racing mini-game in the two player mode. In the 3DS two player mode, there's also a Shooting mini-game and a random that chooses the characters and levels for the player. Along with the two other characters, the player can unlock and play with non playable characters in 2P Play. These include: Shadow, Rouge, Silver, Blaze and the Chaotix (playable after finishing Sid's Story with an S Rank), Metal Sonic (playable after finishing Final Story with an S Rank), and Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream (playable after finishing Sonic's Story).

Upgrade Shop[]

Upgrades are items awarded for fantastic challenge solving and exploration. They are also gained when emblems are earned, which can be given when doing specific tasks, such as unlock a story or complete missions. They can be very useful in levels and make quests more exciting and challenging than before (ex. they can be use to attack harder enemies faster and more easily, find secret and alternate pathways, or even help you complete a stage or mission much more quickly). The shop is hosted by Omochao. Each character has a different set of upgrades. If the player finishes the stage, complete a mission, earns a certain number of emblems, etc, they get a new upgrade unlocked on the Upgrade Shop. Rare Upgrades are unlocked by red rings which can be used for replayability. There are some limitations though; for example: The maximum amount of upgrades that the player can use in a stage is five, similar to Sonic Generations. There is also an on and off switch for every upgrade for every upgrade. The reason for these limits was to allow players to use the upgrades in different ways without struggling with too many upgrades.

The game has received mixed to positive reviews. Most reviews praise the gameplay and story, but criticize the idea of an OC protagonist. {I know Sonic Forces had a customizable character, but that doesn’t count, since it was technically created by SEGA, with the player only added certain assets.}

DLC[]

This game also has some DLC. This includes new playable characters, music, and stories. Some of said DLC Characters are some of Speedyblue’s OCs, others includes characters from other SEGA games, and some also include some brand new characters. It also includes another story that tells about the Ener-Spheres and Ominous' backstory and how he met Eggman.
