The easiest way to describe Sonic Chronicles is that it's the Sonic franchise's take on Super Mario RPG, but that doesn't really capture the essence of it.
It's easy for people who aren't big fans of the character to forget this, but Sonic's been around for over a decade now. His cast has ballooned up into the dozens, he's had a couple of surprisingly successful cartoon shows, and his Archie comic book series will apparently be one of a handful of things that will survive a nuclear holocaust. For a little while now, his actual games have almost been surplus to requirements.
That means, though, that there's a fair bit of story to be had in the Sonic universe, and that's part of why Sonic Chronicles is here. Bioware has created a game that they think will make longtime Sonic fans happy, with plenty of continuity-based fan service and a huge cast of characters, along with their trademark attention to world-building and dialogue.
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.
