In Sonic Dash, players race through a breakneck environment at a speed that’s just fast enough to be exciting. Swipe left and right to change lanes, flick up to jump, and down to activate your character’s spin dash.
The swipe controls are snappy and responsive. But the endless ads and in-app purchases make this game less fun than it could be.
Sonic
The main character of the game is Sonic. Although he may not have the best stats in the game, he’s still one of the most fun to play with. He has a great Dash Boost that can help you overcome obstacles. He also has the highest speed in the game.
Sonic Dash is a fun endless runner that lets you control some of your favorite mascots and race against the bad guys! The graphics are very good and you can unlock tons of characters. The gameplay is fun and challenging, and there are tons of power rings to collect!
However, the game gets boring quickly. The levels aren’t very varied and it can be frustrating to lose a run because of an out-of-sight obstacle that you couldn’t see. A lack of variety also hurts the overall experience.
Espio
Espio is a calm, level-headed member of Team Chaotix. Often silent, even in conversation, he upholds a disciplined and controlled demeanor that can make him seem uninterested in his comrades, particularly Vector’s childish sideshow antics. His chameleon nature and Chroma Camo ability make him almost invisible, allowing him to sneak up on enemies or hide amongst objects.
Espio and Shadow have a hostile relationship, but it seems to be improving since their first meeting. After the incident with Neo Metal Sonic, they put their differences aside and work together to stop Dr. Robotnik.
While the game is free to play, it does have IAPs such as coin doublers and red rings, which are used to improve character upgrades. These IAPs aren’t required, but they can help speed up the rate of earning rings. However, the game’s difficulty and repetitiveness quickly lead to tedium. It’s also hard to get a high score because obstacles are placed in ways that make it impossible to see them ahead of time.
Tails
Tails is a great character in his own right, and the game makes use of him well. The fox’s intelligence and desire to improve sets him apart from Sonic, who sometimes acts on instinct without thinking. Unlike Sonic, Tails can swim, and can pick up power-ups like the head start that help him get past obstacles.
As the player collects rings, the Dash Meter at the bottom of the screen fills up. When full, the player can perform a Dash Boost, which automatically blasts through obstacles.
Throughout the levels, players will also find red star rings, which are the game’s not-quite-premium currency. Using these unlocks various upgrades for the player’s chosen character, including a x2 score multiplier,anshield, and a head start.
During a run, if the player dies, they will be offered the chance to watch an ad video for a free revival. Choosing to do so will save the player’s coins, and prevent them from being lost in a future run.
Knuckles
The gang finds themselves in a sticky situation when Dr. Eggman possesses Tails, Knuckles, and Amy to become evil versions of themselves. To save them, they must put their differences aside and work together as a team.
In Sonic Dash, players control one of the titular hedgehogs in a 3D endless runner similar to games like Temple Run and Subway Surfers. The player can swipe left and right to move side-to-side through three spaces, jump or spin dash to avoid enemies, and clobber Badniks ith a roll.
It may seem a bit repetitive to swipe in different directions and watch the character run through the same environment over and over again, but the gameplay has its merits. There are power-ups to collect throughout the game that can help players advance more quickly through zones, including a shield for protection, a x2 multiplier for scoring and a magnet to make, collecting rings easier. The best part is that these power-ups can be upgraded with the coins collected during runs.
