Freedom Planet
Freedom Planet is a combat-based platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against an alien attack force. There's trouble around every turn, from insects to giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but you'll have a variety of special fighting abilities to blast your way through each stage. As Lilac, you can use Dragon powers to whip enemies with your hair, spin like a cyclone, or fly through the air at high speed like a comet. As Carol, you can bust through foes with a flurry of punches and kicks or summon motorcycles that let you ride up walls and ceilings.
What it feels like
Fast-paced combat and high-speed traversal create kinetic rush and flow central to moment-to-moment play. Described as spunky and cartoony with quirky charm (cats are green, monster girls do the buttkicking) inviting lighthearted engagement. Cartoony presentation and humor (funny tag) create unburdened, carefree mood without demand for seriousness.
What it's about
Alien attack force invading the world and sci-fi setting of Avalice ground the speculative-technology premise. Player fights alongside friends (Carol and other allies) as part of the narrative framing. Spunky protagonist and friends defending against alien invasion frames a heroic struggle against great evil.

Fast-paced melee combat against many enemies with special attacks (spinning cyclone, hair whips) and flashy chained abilities.
