Written by AndrewH

We have reported on Sonic Runners a couple of times already and while we have a pretty good idea about exactly what the game entails now, we’ve yet to see the actual gameplay despite the fact that videos concerning the game have been released. However we now finally possess a video that shows what we can get from Sonic Runners when it comes to gameplay.

Update: February 26th, 2015 12:10pm PST: Great news is that you simply live in Japan and were getting excited about playing Sonic Runners. The sport is now available on Google Play only in Japan right now. Global launch is going to be not far off though. You are able to grab the sport through the link at the end want to know ,.

If you missed our previous coverage regarding Sonic Runners by Sonic Team, here is the short and sweet version. Basically this game is an auto-running side-scrolling arcade game featuring not just the blue hedgehog himself, but other characters from the franchise including Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman. Each level (or episode as the developers are giving them a call) will last around 2 minutes long. Quite simply, this really is not an endless runner. If Sonic Team has their way, you will see 50 plus episodes at launch, with more slated to arrive later on updates.

Sonic Runners looks and plays like every from the other Sonic games from back in the day, something that Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka mentioned inside a past interview. The only real difference is you are already running automatically.

Sonic Runners will be released onto Android in Japan this month for free and can contain IAPs. In terms of a Western release, no official dates happen to be announced by yet.
