I'm a sucker for core gameplay changesGokgokgok2024-02-06Version 2.1.2

You added a Peel-out and an instant overdrive? Now that's quality, also thank you so much for changing the jarring 50 rings = special stage for a monitor you have to explore to find.

Better than the old Metal Sonic Hyperdrive?diablo6662021-09-13Version 2.1.2

What has changed?

Graphically, it qualitatively parodies the Sonic CD. Almost all the enemies, the graphic part of the level of the foreground and background, the Egg Machine, and some dangerous objects.

The characters themselves have also undergone changes. EVERYONE has individual techniques, and which characters have been updated graphically. (Some are more detailed, some have new sprites, and some have been adjusted to the size of a hedgehog)

The music is taken from other SEGA games, but it is very appropriately selected. Does not break out of the atmosphere of the level. On the contrary, it complements, and sometimes even decorates it. An example just suggests itself: "Eggtropolis all acts". This is the most technological zone of all, and music complements this atmosphere. Or the 3rd act of Metallic Rush. Although the graphics are taken from Eggtropolis, but the music is already different, because the final is close. And it is the music of this act that decorates this.

But I found myself in this hack - a fly in the ointment. This is a collection of emeralds. Now you need to find SPECIAL MONITORS throughout the level. This is a bad idea, because the levels (acts) are huge in size. But after collecting all 7, and jumping into the big ring 7 times , we will be able to open the Super Form of METAL SONIC. (It's sad that only he has). Plus, the final boss also changes if you collect OR not collect emeralds. The main boss is Egg Robo, and the final one depends on the emeralds. If you have collected everything , Egg Man will be against you. If you didn't collect it, the fake version of Sonic is against you.

Results: "These facts go to the pros: 1. The choice of the complexity of the game (Easy, complex and Extreme) and the choice of the Skill of the game (Original or MasterQuest). 2. Music 3. The graphic component is all! 4. The variability of the passage" In the minus: This is a collection of emeralds. Honestly, without a radar, it's very difficult to search. In 50/50, the bosses left. They haven't changed. Only slightly changed the AI or edited the levels for them.

The hack is worth your attention and I recommend you to play it too. He will definitely add positivity.

Not much to say... 5/5Cupcom5/NGKFlower2019-04-26Version 2.1.2

I literally played all of Lone Devil's hacks of Metal Sonic (Except CD, since I have a mac and that game is only on Windows), but I really have lots of fun with the ones I was able to play.

I even beat each and every one of them with Each and every character that was playable, including himself.

Definitely a must grab.

I would totally support if he ever decides to make some original IPs, as he is really good at level design.

An excellent hack with lots of funTimaeus2015-12-24Version 2.1.2

This hack is, in simple put, AMAZING! Every single pixel of the game, except some bosses, is changed. It features lots and lots amazing musics, a fun level design with speed and platforming, new shields and, new ring monitor, quick dash and excellent graphics. It´s a new game that you must try it.
