Pocket Gamer writes: "A surprise highlight at Nintendo's Media Summit held last week in San Francisco was a fully playable demonstration of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Like the love child birthed from a union of hedgehog and level 50 elf, this unlikely role-playing take on Sonic is more than just a beautiful roll through a dark spot in the long-running franchise.
Neither BioWare nor Sega would divulge details on the game's plot, but we do know that Sonic Chronicles will see the speedy hedgehog team up with series standbys Tails, Amy and others to defeat a mysterious evil that is hell-bent on destroying their world (surprise!). The role-playing clichés don't stop there, though. Oh no, Sonic Chronicles treads a well-worn path of level grinding action and point-based character development."
Despite the fame and popularity of both the studio and the IP in question, not everyone knows that Bioware developed a Sonic RPG prior to them being acquired by EA, Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS, and it was recently detailed in a DidYouKnowGaming video that both Bioware and SEGA were down for a sequel, but it was ultimately canceled for a surprising reason: SEGA was sued for copyright infringement
to be fair tho, the rpg for the DS was a mess.
touchscreen-only was not a good way to make a game like this.
I wish Sega got together with Square and made a Sonic RPG for the Genesis I would have played that.
Just because the first one sucked, doesn't mean Sega should abandon the idea of a Sonic RPG.
BioWare has hit a rough patch following the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. However, the company has released many acclaimed games over the decades. With many being beloved titles still heralded as some of the video games ever made. Here are the top 5 best BioWare games of all time.
I'm very interested in this actually. It seems Sega is trying pretty hard to resurrect their mascot. Bring it =)
Yeah for sure! The combat sounds fun and even if you flee you need some input to make sure you do what you want. I like the chaos are like equipment for drain or fire damage during attacks. Good stuff ^^
