### 4/5 — Super temper, temper

*2026-09-05, version 7.4.2*

The app is OK, but they never give you the super shadow

### 4/5 — Good but what you would expect from a free mobile game

*2026-09-05, version 7.4.2*

The base game is extremely fun but it main flaws come from the sheer amount of ads and pay to win. How you unlock powerful characters is through events but they usually don’t last long so to unlock as much as possible you either play it nonstop or pay money which can get annoying especially when in shows pop ups. Overall fun base game but it is difficult to unlock good characters.

### 4/5 — Gotta go fast or smth

*2026-09-05, version 7.4.2*

I love playing my goat silver and getting first place all the time. Add more silver skins and appreciate my goat more pls. Anyway I’m on the highway so gotta go fast

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-09-03, version 7.4.2*

Awesome reccmound

### 5/5 — Fun to play win I am bored it helps a lot for board playing.

*2026-09-03, version 7.4.2*

The game is fine, but I would like if we got All the blue cards first does it otherwise the game is perfect

### 5/5 — This Is Such A Cool Game

*2026-09-03, version 7.4.2*

I’ve liked Sonic my whole life and this game adapts to what he’s all about, The leveling up becoming better & better, You have so many characters to collect and when you get chest and when they unlock you can get some characters, It’s kinda a mystery to what you might get, And when you do some quests you can get a cool character, It’s kinda a grinding game, But overall it’s such a Awesome game.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2026-09-03, version 7.4.2*

Sonic dash but pvp it’s awesome only thing tho is that they need to do another movie recap

### 4/5 — Clan store

*2026-09-02, version 7.4.2*

Add more things to buy in the clan store and increase the 20 clan points for the ad to 40. Add more characters. Not just excalibur sonic. And add another option but gems maybe.

### 4/5 — Cool Game!

*2026-09-02, version 7.4.2*

I’m a Sonic and a Mario fan!

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME

*2026-09-01, version 7.4.0*

Listen great game except a little hard to unlock characters…

### 5/5 — Gg

*2026-09-01, version 7.4.0*

This seems like it’s sonic dash 2 if they were racing

### 5/5 — I love SFSB

*2026-09-01, version 7.4.0*

I love the characters and their designs but I don’t like that starter characters have abilities that are not unique but I still like the game overall 5 stars.

### 5/5 — BEST. MOBILE. GAME. EVER!

*2026-09-01, version 7.4.0*

This is amazing, I have never ever seen a mobile game that is SO GOOD, also my username in this game is “Prickly Buffalo” I usually main with a knuckles skin & my clan is team knuckles

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-08-31, version 7.4.0*

You will never get bored playing this game. With a bunch of skins to unlock, prizes to win and races to play, this might be one of my favorite mobile games.

### 3/5 — Not bad, but nothing crazy.

*2026-08-31, version 7.4.0*

Not a big fan of Sonic Forces, but this game isn’t bad. This is a “I’ve got ten minutes before I have to leave for work and need something to fill in the time” game. I think there’s too many ads, and I can’t be the only one who gets ticked off whenever the game tries to offer me the “Tail’s Crate” every five seconds. The gameplay itself is pretty smooth, but not complicated at all. Really just Sonic Run, but multiplayer. (but can someone tell me for the love of everything on this planet how to unlock Super Shadow 😭😭😭)

### 2/5 — Potentially cool

*2026-08-31, version 7.4.0*

There is a very bad habit with this game treating the character balancing like a monetization scheme. They’d rather bait you into spending on something because it’s utterly oppressive, rather than making interesting and nuanced content that you willingly spend on.

This creates a constant loop of overpowered release events followed by hefty nerfs. Your investments always feel wasted. They neglect all of the old characters, too, so the whole game is basically whatever they recently released, and not much else.

### 5/5 — You might never see this

*2026-08-31, version 7.4.0*

You might not even update this anymore, but you guys should add special skins for some of SONIC.EXE’s, like Rewrite and OMT and the basic EXE. Also this game is amazing

### 5/5 — Please please do the movie event

*2026-08-30*

Is amazing but pls make the movie event please answer and make the movie event again please .😕😕😕

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Game crashes after 2 sept 26 update

*2026-09-02, version 7.4.0*

Attempted multiple times to open/run the app and it tells me to restart every time. The app is no longer usable. Made it to level 14, and I'm the head of a clan. All lost.

### 1/5 — Predatory game model, aggressive monetisation

*2026-08-31, version 7.4.0*

So. Many. Ads. And so many asks for more money. Singular purpose; designed to extract maximum money from users. A constant barrage of buy this, upgrade that. Terrible UI, button placement moving around to ensure users keep watching ads. 

Fun to play but not to experience. Hoping the 2026 court case against Meta has consequences for games like this, preying on young player’s attention spans and pay-to-win style economics.

### 1/5 — Stupid Glitch makes game unplayable

*2026-08-28, version 7.4.0*

I have this audio glitch that constantly repeats sounds and breaks game. When i try to load a match with it it constantly disconnects me. I am beyond angry, i have had to forfeit 10 different matches which caused my 15 rsr card boosters to be WASTED. Uninstalled 3 different times to try and fix, never did. I love this game, but this pisses me off.

### 1/5 — Evan

*2026-08-26, version 7.3.0*

It sucks

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-08-24, version 7.3.0*

In stage 5 mission hunter it won’t let me collect my reward

### 1/5 — Needing help

*2026-08-22, version 7.3.0*

Account won’t transfer to my iOS

### 1/5 — Pls make it better

*2026-08-22, version 7.3.0*

Stop giving so many minus’s wen I get second place it’s annoying

### 1/5 — Pw2

*2026-08-16, version 7.3.0*

The game is honestly terrible with the introduction of gold chests—they take a full 8 hours to open, yet events only last 24 hours; isn't that just cruel? It relies entirely on luck and is pay-to-win.

### 1/5 — Dull

*2026-08-11, version 7.3.0*

Ever since the TERRIBLE level 20 update last September, everything is worse.

They repeat the same events, over and over and over. Meanwhile half the roster hasn’t seen a recap in years.

Balancing is done perhaps so poorly it may as well not be done at all. It’s so frustrating waiting months, only to see a balance patch full of irrelevant changes NOBODY asked for. Why do people bother sending feedback in your server? Nollie clearly doesn’t send it anywhere. Nobody looks. Nobody cares.

Overall, the entire game is in a state of serious decline, and they’d rather hide and issue mass bans instead of do their jobs better.
