This game is super bad, its just a mobile game, the skills are messy, equipment dont let u chose your stats, allies AI is super retarded. go for http://armorgames.com and play sonny or sonny2, both are much better.
Well, I wonder why everybody says this, it doesn't make sense. Do people have a personal problem with the developer or what? lol I discovered this game only today and I decided to try the two first flash games, Sonny and Sonny 2. They SUCK compared to this one, which is an improvement in every way. It's true that it has some major flaws though, and frankly the fact that our equipment doesn't even show on our characters is ridiculous. I don't know either why you say that allies AI is retarded, cos they actually do exactly what I want them to do. They heal exactly when needed, they use the right skill after I lowered the defense of an enemy, etc.
Like I said, I compared to the previous games, and frankly they looked and played so badly. Sorry, the new Sonny is the best so far. Of course, there's lots of room for improvements though. Too bad the developers said they won't add animations.
I think the character's movement animations is not existing in this version, that's one of the things they need to improve. over all I'll give it a 7 for nostalgia's sake, there is a lot of things to improve.
compared to the older sonny games(games that were released on flash about 10 years ago, you know, the REALLY OLD programming that's not really meant for game making in the first place), this game lacks all of these: animations armor showing on your characters ability to even SOMEWHAT control the AI(agressive, cautious, defensive, etc.) voice acting any sort of remote SEMBLANCE of balance in ANY way, shape, or form In addition to all this, not only is it NOT made in flash(which means it should be objectively better), but it was also made a decade after the other games, and it ALSO cost money. As far as any intelligent person should be able to say, this game sucks. Let's not lie to ourselves here. I know all of this without even having PLAYED it. Now, let's see what other criticisms I have after playing it. Edit: I was pretty much spot on. The game plays like a mobile game for filthy casuals. No animations makes it look like a cheap piece of garbage. Literally laughable, tbh. The inability to choose which stats an equip gets when you upgrade it is pretty terrible. I'm not sure how I feel about what they did to the speed stat in this game. I guess it's good that speed is now a useful stat? Can't choose which stats you get upon level up either though? Music is also relatively lackluster, considering that the composer has had 10 extra years of composing experience with which to supposedly improve. There is NOTHING about this game that's better than it's predecessors, other than it having more dialogue, and a slightly prettier UI(though I still liked the old one better). preeeeeeeettty terrible. Edit 2: I did finally finish this game. I kept hoping the entire time that it would get better, but then it DIDN'T. If I hadn't chose frost, I'm pretty sure the game would have been much more difficult. For most of the battles where you're facing one opponent, frost is the only legitimate strategy. No other strategies will work You just have to prevent the bosses from attacking as much as possible. I found myself respeccing several DOZEN times. I kept trying to play the game normally, without resorting to stupid tactics like, "drain the bosses focus as much as possible using frost, and bump your speed up as much as possible, other stats don't matter", but to no avail. The game forces you to make sure the bosses don't attack, or else you die. How is it that the game is so terribly unbalanced? It absolutely baffles me that it's so terrible. The music grew on me a little, but it's still not better than sonny 1 or 2, in any aspects except maybe resolution and effects. Look at final fantasy 3 DS: there are some gimmicky boss battles, or strategies you have to use for certain enemies(fire salamander, that one lightning boss where you have to change to all dragoons, then spam jump and hope you win, resistance to stone, etc.), but the gimmicks never make you change your party composition so drastically for every single one. The game is balanced. This game felt soul less and unbalanced as fk. I'm just glad it's over with. BTW: the allies are VERY dumb compared to sonny 2, consistently making all the choices that will get me killed. If it wasn't the terrible game balance killing me, it was my allies.
Okay, this is a response to BOTH wort and Blue Lily. Nobody is right or wrong here (except Blue Lily, but I'll touch on that later). We all have opinions. Wort thinks the game is bad, Blue Lily thinks the game is good (it's really not the best, but i'll touch on this later, once again). Me? I think it's mediocre. I enjoy the music and the graphics, and the gameplay itself is not very good. Not bad either, though. It's just below the middle. Yet Blue Lily, you just decided to say, "sorry, this one is the best", which is actually wrong. In my opinion, and most others, the originals will ALWAYS be the better ones (unless they make some sort of comeback and make the game extremely good, which, let's all agree here, will probably never happen). Once again, sure this game has better graphics and a better soundtrack, but this game lacks the strategy that the originals had. Therefore, I'm in the middle. Might as well be a goddamn Oreo. Anywho, we have our different opinions, and that's that. We shouldn't force others to think differently. We all like, kinda like/hate, or hate the game. Now Wort, Blue Lily, please. Don't try to force your opinions. You both think whatever you want to think. And that is fucking that.
This game is a improvement to the last 2 titles in this series .. sure he left some things behind like choose your stat on level up or the appearence of your gear but overall it is a better game than the last 2 .. the newly added evolution and six cool skill trees with 10 possible class combinations are also an improvement to the last titles. more characters with different usefulness.. allow you to adapt to a certain situation. Hint : you can control your allies with certain skills .. AI isnt dumb they just do what they think is best in this situation .. and if you are in a job in real life your coworkers sometimes do stuff that you find dumb but in their eyes it is the best possible solution to a certain situation..
Everytime I try to run the game it crashes. I tried to run it as admin, run launcher, launcher_x64 and sonnywindows, but all of them crash. Hope to find a solution soon. Thanks.
second open of the game .. can't click anything
Do people have a personal problem with the developer or what? lol

You have no right to say "it's an improvement in any way".
Sorry, the new Sonny is the best so far.
Of course, there's lots of room for improvements though.
Too bad the developers said they won't add animations.
animations
armor showing on your characters
ability to even SOMEWHAT control the AI(agressive, cautious, defensive, etc.)
voice acting
any sort of remote SEMBLANCE of balance in ANY way, shape, or form
In addition to all this, not only is it NOT made in flash(which means it should be objectively better), but it was also made a decade after the other games, and it ALSO cost money.
