Sonny

I played the original flash version and its sequel a decade ago. Instantly loved them. This is version, much like the originals, is no different. It being 100% free on the App Store for such a good turn-based RPG, as well as sticking to its roots the way every remake should, is a testament to that. Sonny has a unique setting with a unique storyline but very logical game mechanics and an in-depth strategic but amicable play style. Easy to play for players of all skill, it still rewards those who Iike to put in that extra little strategic effort. I do not enjoy writing reviews but I cannot express how worthwhile this game is so it truly deserves one. The only thing I could recommend (which is ironic since it wouldn’t be 100% free anymore) is giving the option to gain the +20% exp/money bonus permanently with no ads for a small price. Even so, who cares? The game is easily playable and beatable without the bonus and therefore without even sitting through one ad. There’s absolutely no reason not to get this game.

Okay, so first of all, I'm a huge fan of sonny 2. So I was really excited to play this. I was having fun in the first 2 or so zones it got more frustrating, but doable. I'm at Blackhall Keep now I think. I'm not saying I want this to be a mindless phone game, but it's nearly impossible. What's the point of having a skill tree where you can choose your path when only one path works? Come to think of it, I don't even know if one of them will work to get me through this game (I see the respec button, but I shouldn't have to use it between every zone or every battle). I'm up for a challenge, but! If one of my party members dies (and others are critically low) before we even get to our turn, it's broken. It just is. At least maybe have different difficulty settings or something. I don't want to uninstall because the gameplay is fun, but the challenge is too unrealistic. Plus there's a glitch with sound- if you turn off sound and music, then end a battle, it'll come back on, but that's the LEAST of my problems. I have faith in this game still, but I am just not going to play it further or improve my review until I can feel like it's actually possible.

I’ve beaten the game 3 times as Legend (without any training) using different strains each time so I can say it’s possible to beat the game with any strain. It’s an awesome strategy game! The important thing is to use the right skill set tailored to the enemies you’re facing for that round so be prepared to respec your skill set whenever you come across a mini-boss. Also, make sure your using the right set of equipment that complements your skill set. You should expect to upgrade every team members’ equipment at each new location. You shouldn’t waste any money to upgrade the stats on the equipment. The most expensive equipment is not always the best choice. While certain strains will work better with each other, it is not a critical factor in beating the game as Legend. Lastly, picking the right teammates that complement your overall strategy should not be overlooked.

I love the series, and have beaten all the computer versions, but this is very buggy. A lot of the abilities just stop working in later stages. Past the fire stage, a lot of my abilities won’t do their entire ability. One of my shadow moves that heals, applied haste, and refreshes the last used move, won’t refresh anymore, it just doesn’t. As well, occasionally if I try to use a move after just evolving it, it simply won’t do anything. My character will just stand there and my turn will pass. When it becomes my turn again the move is on cool down even though nothing happened. Another buggy move is when I attempt to silence my enemies abilities. The move will hit and the silence will apply, but then they will use the move I silenced again right away, as if I never silenced them at all. The game can be really hard in some areas but I still find the game enjoyable, after all, is it really fun if you can beat it so soon? But it gets to the point where it can be really grindy. But as a whole I really like the game and the series.

Just le the other reviews. I am a huge fan of the Sony Pc version. This game is great, and has a very good story. However the abilities and skill trees aren’t very balanced. On my first play through I chose nature and ended up dying every 20 minutes and by the time I got to act 2 I was forced to delete my progress. On my second play through I chose rock. Rock has great armor but it’s attacks aren’t good enough for later content past act 1 1/2. So then I had to go back a third time and now I’m stuck with lightning which so far has worked out for the best. But then again why should you even get to choose if players are going to have to go back and replay the whole thing. So even though I love this game, I would probably suggest to the developers to make a semi extensive Rebalancing Update. But besides those issues the game is great and Like I said above I love the Sonny games. I also eagerly wait to reach the next chapter in the story. Abarmicor.
