Sonny feels like a far more cohesive experience, and more like the game’s existence is what it was intended to be rather than something repurposed late in development. Zodiac may have been for different reasons, namely that they were still figuring out their business model well along the way of that game’s troubled development.
Sonny is just a $2.99 purchase, and there’s no IAP to be found. Both feel like they’re going for the social RPG genre except done in a paid game style. Sonny reminds me a lot of Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey ($4.99) in many ways. Combat winds up being very strategic, as you have to utilize your abilities and their cooldown timers properly to win in the multi-stage battles that comprise the game.
You control only Sonny but have two allies in battle that have their own attack and support abilities. A speed stat determines how fast the turn meter fills up this isn’t an active time battle game, but instead time freezes when it’s a character’s turn, and certain abilities can effect the turn meter’s filling for protagonists or antagonists. These abilities include standard, no-cooldown attacks, attacks with special effects that need a number of turns to recharge, and defensive/healing abilities. Sonny‘s an RPG all about combat, and you go into battle with a wheel of up to 8 abilities from a skill tree that you can upgrade. After your escape, you travel through the world, meeting new allies, learning more abilities, and discovering that some of this world’s zombie population are able to communicate much like you are. Louis gets killed by Zombie Pest Control Incorporated troops, who are out to get you because you’re a zombie, and to exact vengeance on your initial ZPCI troop kills. You play as the eponymous Sonny, a dude who has died on a boat, but thanks to a special serum from Louis, you’re a powerful, conscious zombie. Instead, this is a massive reboot with a new storyline, some familiar and returning characters, and an actual ending to the story. It’s not a sequel to Sonny 2, necessarily, which ended on a cliffhanger. Now, web portal and game publisher Armor Games has teamed up with developer Krin to bring a new Sonny (Free) game to mobile. Flash RPG series Sonny has gotten millions of players over the past decade between two different installments. One of the most popular RPGs in the world might just be a game that you’ve never heard of.
