Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood

Post by Ravenfreak »

This was the only roleplaying game in the Sonic series. It's part of the Storybook games, two were released on the Wii but they're both platformers like most Sonic games are. I've only played a little bit of it, and the gameplay is fine but the music is terrible and it's one of the few Sonic games that has a bad soundtrack. In fact, the devs used fan made midis of songs for the music and didn't know how to properly convert the songs to the DS soundchip. :V I do eventually plan on playing through every Sonic game sometime in my life since it's my favorite gaming franchise. But this is the only Sonic game I can talk about here at least on topic since it's a roleplaying game lol.

I do remember the trailer for this and was very interested in it, but I never got around to getting it. Maybe I can find a emulator for it.

I also had mixed reviews about it, but saw something about the music too. I guess emulation is one way to have a go to it.

I know Retroarch has a DS core, might be worth checking it out! I have a physical copy since on top of wanting to play every Sonic game, I would like to own every possible Sonic game I can. (There's some I can't get because they're way too rare or expensive here in the states.)

Also Sonic Crossworlds has been doing really well too. It's a fun racing game for sure. I really should play through Sonic Chronicles one of these days lol. Maybe I'll live stream it!

It does! It's also crossplay too so you can race with anyone who has the game.
