Note that as he improves his proficiency in each of these Styles, Sonic also unlocks more talents and abilities, some of which are unique to a style or another. A Style’s proficiency is improved by completing levels and gathering the Stars by performing well in any stage while using that Style. Later, two other possibilities are unlocked: Paladin Style, which focuses on attack power at the detriment of speed, and the Cavalier Style, which does the opposite, higher speed but less power. He defaults to Knight Style when the game begins, and it’s a style that balances power and speed fairly well. On the menu before a level, it’s possible to change Sonic’s playstyle. Reaching the Blacksmith in Camelot actually opened the remainder of the abilities available in the game. Meanwhile, Sonic can go and practice some new skills.

Sonic gets to the Blacksmith, and surprise! It’s Tails! He offers to sharpen Caliburn’s blade. He almost looks like the Sonic Boom version of Tails with these goggles on. You will usually gain a few followers per level, but it’s possible to gain a lot more depending on how good you are at beating a level, up to the cap indicated on that level. This happens through an experience system where your Followers are your EXP. During the game, you begin as a simple Knave and go up in knightly ranks, from Loyal Page to Hardy Squire and so on, all the way to Knight of the Round Table. This will boost your Knight’s Honor bonus and number of followers. They always request 20 Rings, and if he has enough rings, he'll transfer them after a quick sequence of QTEs.

In fact, some villagers will have requests for Sonic, which he can listen to with Z. You're poor like a peasant! I need 20 Rings!" This one saw Sonic had only 12 Rings, and went "No! Don't talk to me! You look like someone who needs 20 Rings. Obviously, the villagers are not enemies, so hurting them is a no-no. The Knight’s Honor bonus at the end reflects whether you acted in a virtuous way during the level, or if you were reckless and dangerous. The game keeps track of all your actions during a level, how you fight enemies, what you collect, and so on. This level features a lot of enemies as well as villagers, and this is where the Knight’s Honor and Followers matter. He’s ready to rumble against the shadowy knight as well, but the wizard teleports the two of them away, causing Sonic to lose his prized snack in the dust of the gravel road. Sonic downs a chilidog in a single bite, tosses the other, and kills all the smaller monsters in a matter of seconds, catching his second hot-dog in-flight. That wizard, who looks a lot like Shahra the genie from Secret Rings by the way, is clearly in trouble. There’s no way he would allow these chilidogs to be wasted! Also, the last time he got sucked into a literary world, he was asked nicely. "My chilidogs, do you see this? Or am I going crazy?"Ī second after Sonic ran through them, all the monstersĪlthough the contact with the ground is brutal, the hedgehog rushes to get his treats. A portal opens above and down falls Sonic, two chilidogs following suit. As she’s cornered, the wizard casts a spell that summons the Knight of the Wind. …A line this good should go in a novel, I swear. The knight catches up to her and, in a swift strike, cuts into the sky itself, opening a dark wound from which similarly evil monsters bleed out. A young wizard woman is fleeing from an evil-looking armored knight riding on horseback.
