“Sonny” 2017 blows this out of the water. “Sonny” 2017 allows for a greater variety of gameplay strategies, but many of those options just don’t pan out. “Sonny” 2 took a more advanced approach, offering the player three different “elements” they could explore to give their character more powers, with differing playstyles depending on the element. Much, much more elemental flexibility in playstyle (at least, in theory): “Sonny” 1 brought to the table a simple “walk up to the enemy and bash his brains out” type of RPG gameplay. “In this game, you eventually unlock and choose any duo of a total of seven elements - leaving way for 49 total different combinations the player could choose, to truly give their game variety and added meaning.”įirst, let’s start off with what the third iteration of the game did correctly:ġ. “Sonny” 2017 gives the franchise new life on iOS and Steam. The franchises’s gimmick is that you play as a zombie, the titular Sonny, in a post-apocalyptic world in which you fight with traditional RPG mechanics. What could be the harm in making a third? The “Sonny” franchise reached moderate fame in the mid-late 2000s on sites that hosted flash games, like Kongregate and Newgrounds. That said, it’s not all gloom and doom here, because as I said, the first two “Sonny” games were certainly solid in their own right. And yet, it came anyways, stumbling onto the game marketplace in 2017. They were pretty good flash games, not “Shenmue II.”Įven though award-winning music director David Orr performed debatably his finest work in the first two games, it was not enough to give the franchise that kind of following.
The first two games, while pretty good in the case of the first, and great for its time in the second, weren’t so unbelievably incredible that they were going to be engraved into the average gamer’s memory for a whopping eight years. That’s probably because, until the tail end of 2017, the franchise was defunct, lacking a title since 2008, without one being confirmed to even be in development until very late in 2016, about 6 years after anyone who like the first two “Sonny” games or their flash brethren stopped caring about the series and flash games in general. When talking about contemporary gaming, and what dominates the interwebs of today, the “Sonny” franchise is hardly, if ever, mentioned.
