Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Sonic and
friends – Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and newest member of the team Sticks –
will work together as they face their most powerful enemy yet. Lyric is
a giant and monstrous snake-like creature from an ancient race. An
extremely tech-savvy mastermind who uses a sophisticated robotic body
of armour to carry out his own nefarious deeds, he is a formidable
enemy and a force to be reckoned with. With a strong emphasis on
collaboration, the roles of Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks will be
elevated in gameplay that capitalises on each character’s unique
talents and abilities. The goal is to prevent Lyric from powering his
army of robots and carrying out his plan to destroy the world. The
stakes have never been higher, and the only chance to overcome Lyric is
to band together and work as a team.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is crafted to
take full advantage of the unique gameplay mechanics of the Nintendo
Wii U. The game is a new chapter in the Sonic Boom
universe and will have its own unique immersive storyline.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on Wii U will
deliver a different experience than past titles. The detailed levels
and emphasis on each character’s unique abilities will showcase the
distinctive feel of an action-adventure game, giving players more
choice in exploration as they work as a team to stop the deadly
snake-like ancient villain, Lyric, before he can power up his army. The
gameplay will challenge players with over-the-top speed runs, but the
heart of the game will focus on intense combat and brand-new abilities
including the Enerbeam. This new feature in the game gives players an
energy-charged cord that can be used by characters to navigate the
world like never before. Players will be able to swing or zip-line
across gaps, explore alternate paths, grab and throw enemies and take
away their shields in combat.
