GAME DESCRIPTION > > >
Sonic vs Darkness: Combat Beta is a public beta test featuring the gameplay of Shadow the Hedgehog in Story Mode. This version of the game takes a different approach from the familiar boost-style gameplay and focuses on rushdown combat, taking inspiration from other games such as Sonic Unleashed, Dragon Ball FighterZ and game modes Subspace Emissary and Smash Run from the Super Smash Bros. series. As stated earlier, this is a public beta test, so feel free to contact me for any issues you may come across.
Note: This is a separate application from the Sonic vs Darkness Demo version, which contains many features not present.
