@Nyan Htet Aung from what I see and what I know: Sega - Sonic series Capcom - Ghosts and Goblins series (Boss 1, 2, 4, 6 with Princess, 8, Shielder, "Cerebus") ??? - Rusty [PC-98] (Queen of the Dark Knight theme for Stage 1, another theme for Boss 6) Konami - Castlevania Series (Boss 5, Boss 6 with Tombstones and ... Sypha?, Death, Stage 4 theme of Gears Go Awry, Werewolf, Armors, Worm [?] Shaft, Aria of Sorrow clocktower theme the 2nd MG stage), maybe Rocket Knight/Sparkster series? (Boss 3; head looks like one of the floating Pig heads found in the Space shmup levels, but I may be wrong) Disney - Mickey Mouse (Boss 6 reference) ??? - Batman Animated Series game (Boss 6 reference, the Cat I believe) But yeah: it's basically a giant mashup but it honestly looks well done. I kinda miss seeing these kinds of games, but then again I may just have experienced most of them through flash.
@Nyan Htet Aung yeah; sorry for the presentation of the breakdown btw. Im a little scatterbrained so when taking notes I just get info down as fast (and as sloppy) as possible so I don't miss anything.
A stupid base concept? I disagree. This become my favourite as soon as I checked it out. A dark take on Sonic can be good if done right. This is one of those examples.
@Nyan Htet Aung yes bro, your name it doesn't look much like an American, but it would be good if they made a version in Portuguese, because I don't understand much English
I like how the first part of the Demonic Eggman fight is similar to what the bosses of Leaf Storm and Huge Crisis from Sonic Rush would look like if they were in a Genesis game
I really love the 2nd phase of Deominc Eggman just bc of the fact that it's in 3D and that it resembles the Time Eater boss from Sonic Generations, easily one of the most clever boss fights made in Romhack history
I must say, I could totally see Eggman doing this. He's gone to the lengths of summoning all these gods to defeat Sonic. Chaos, Dark Gaia, the dragon at the end of Superstars, the Time Eater, and many more. I could totally see him going to this length, especially seeing as he seems a bit more in his mindset from Unleashed, where he was going to try and kill Sonic.
Okay, I just looked at the final boss, Eggman didn't mention wanting to kill Sonic, so I really should've checked that. Plus, I don't think Eggman would summon Satan, but probably a deity like Satan, I dunno.
Before the witch fight, there's a missing midboss that's a port of Castlevania Bloodlines' silhouette demon (from stage 5). Gotta love sonic x castlevania, with all the fantasical foes he's faced, this almost seems like a fitting crossover! -Too bad halloween is still 8 months too early-
If they just made the stuff a bit more cartoony and the bosses didn't explode into gore, it feels like it would be a good halloween special edition game
That was unbelievable. Stellar playing. Cracking soundtrack. And that Shaft fight was amazing. "Oh the Sonic boss didn't work, quick get the Castlevania boss out!" Amazing.
Any idea where Death's and Eggman's boss theme come from? EDIT: Found Eggman's theme. It's an original composition by Gerry Trevino. It's called "Through Hell and Fire". EDIT2: Death's theme is also from him. Track is called "Imhotep".
Quick warning for any photosensitive people, some of the bosses present (namely the animations during the death fight) have flashing lights, so be careful when viewing.
I vaguely remember hearing about this, but forgot about it, and I am so glad the Algorithm reminded me! This is unapologetically amazing, and reminds me of daydreaming about famous video game characters all battling it out!
This is really amazing so much improvement the sprite upgrade more bosses and the backgrounds the music upgrade the changes and the style! everything about this is really great I'm so glad they finished the game! i know this video was like 6 months ago but I didn't know this game was fully finished Just impressive 10/10
Ooh I can recognize Ghost in Goblins, Castlevania, Contra Hard Corps and Splatterhouse in this! Have I found a good sonic horror game? There must be others.
Honestly? After watching this I wished many other game franchises could make a comeback even if its by the community with fan made games. This was metal af but man I wished Ape Escape or Ganbare Goemon would come back.
Shadow would have taken this assignment but he thought it was too incomprehensibly edgy. That and both his gun and roller blades broke at the same time.
Sonic Hellfire is the Creppypasta Sonic.exe more realistic that could happen because takes the high value about the Satanism as a way to pay tribute to have a great power to be more evil like Satan. I like it.
I continue to be both impressed and flabbergasted by the likes of Hellfire Saga, which CLEARLY has so much effort put into it, and yet the boss design that this hack hangs it's hat on all comes fromt he school of design that many lambasted Sonic 4 Episode 2 for; bosses that stay invulnerable for protracted amounts of time while you are forced to dodge their crap for extended periods of time until a brief vulnerability period opens up. (I feel like if anything, Freedom Planet/Freedom Planet 2 really solves my misgivings with Sonic boss design and it's hard to find the right balance when your gameplay consists of jumping into foes.)
If you had replaced the OST with tracks from Deathsmiles, no one would’ve blinked. Not to mention, that game’s soundtrack would fit perfectly with a horror themed Sonic fan game.
I must say, I'm only watching this because I kept taking so much damage from the Astaroth fight I couldn't ever survive the battle with Metal Sonic. But I am also seeing some differences in the appearances of Evil Arthur and Astaroth. For one, when I played it, Arthur had a pair of horns and a devil's tail on him. And another thing, the face on Astaroth's chest was much more clearly visible. Also, now that I've seen him, Gloam has actually had some of those tricks, such as turning into who I presume to be Guinevere, Arthur's supposed love interest.
Looks like savestates/frame-by-frame was used from how strange, humanly inconsistent, and sometimes particular and exact sonic's movement is. Which I don't mind. Just strange that it's not mentioned.
I wouldn't be surprised if this game telegraphed me how to drink water Holy hell, like, seriously, the game dosen't trust the player's inteligence at all
@hotomug1761 that's why you should be selective about what kind of criticisim you hear And let's face it, if you have to tell the player every 5 minutes what they should do in a boss fight, you probably don't have a very well desinged boss fight
Boss list:
00:28 01 Evil Arthur
01:37 02 Demon Pig
02:42 03 Giant Viper
04:05 04 Astaroth
04:38 05 Dogether
05:48 06 Gloam
09:58 07 Witch
12:39 08 Firebrand
14:20 09 Fire Face
15:25 10 Death
23:37 11 Mad Scientist
24:49 12 Werewolf
26:08 13 Shielder
28:57 14 Worm
30:05 15 Great Axe Armor & Heavy Armor
31:32 16 Cerberus
32:39 17 Mecha Sonic & Shaft
35:55 Final Boss - Demonic Eggman
41:10 Ending
The final boss should've been named "Bedeviled Egg".
Excellent name for the 07th boss, I should have done it in the source code as well)
You missed the boss between 6 and 7
Egghead is no more.
Btw, 3rd's internal name is Headliss)
"demonic eggman"
why did they have to pass up "Deviled Eggman"
HOLY SHIT THATS LITERALLY PERFECT.
WAIT
LET HIM COOK
eggman escaped again with his egg mobile again and again is true
Sounds more fitting...
Damn missed opportunity
I sure as heck didn't have "Sonic fights Castlevania bosses" on my 2023 bingo card.
this hack's been in development for a few years now though
Except Arthur and Firebrand are part of the Ghosts 'n Goblins series by Capcom, not Castlevania.
@@Jarock316 as Astaroth kek
You're totally right! XD
Also, 69th like. :)
@damarfadlan9251or Mickey Mouse
i'm so glad that they finished this. it's a hack that has a stupid base concept but absolutely SLAYS in the execution.
@Nyan Htet Aung from what I see and what I know:
Sega - Sonic series
Capcom - Ghosts and Goblins series (Boss 1, 2, 4, 6 with Princess, 8, Shielder, "Cerebus")
??? - Rusty [PC-98] (Queen of the Dark Knight theme for Stage 1, another theme for Boss 6)
Konami - Castlevania Series (Boss 5, Boss 6 with Tombstones and ... Sypha?, Death, Stage 4 theme of Gears Go Awry, Werewolf, Armors, Worm [?] Shaft, Aria of Sorrow clocktower theme the 2nd MG stage), maybe Rocket Knight/Sparkster series? (Boss 3; head looks like one of the floating Pig heads found in the Space shmup levels, but I may be wrong)
Disney - Mickey Mouse (Boss 6 reference)
??? - Batman Animated Series game (Boss 6 reference, the Cat I believe)
But yeah: it's basically a giant mashup but it honestly looks well done. I kinda miss seeing these kinds of games, but then again I may just have experienced most of them through flash.
@Nyan Htet Aung yeah; sorry for the presentation of the breakdown btw. Im a little scatterbrained so when taking notes I just get info down as fast (and as sloppy) as possible so I don't miss anything.

This become my favourite as soon as I checked it out.
A dark take on Sonic can be good if done right. This is one of those examples.
I know no one will answer me, but they could release a Portuguese version. Observation: that I'm Brazilian
@Nyan Htet Aung yes bro, your name it doesn't look much like an American, but it would be good if they made a version in Portuguese, because I don't understand much English
Never knew this existed - but it looks a lot of fun, and you handled those bosses quite eloquently.
I like how the first part of the Demonic Eggman fight is similar to what the bosses of Leaf Storm and Huge Crisis from Sonic Rush would look like if they were in a Genesis game
This was actually the first one with blood with blood the HP is the blood so it’s a prize
34:00 BFG-10,000 from Doom Eternal. I identified this track literally by the first few notes.
"I'll make this quick"
*Proceeds to have the longest fight in the hack*
I really love the 2nd phase of Deominc Eggman just bc of the fact that it's in 3D and that it resembles the Time Eater boss from Sonic Generations, easily one of the most clever boss fights made in Romhack history
And don't forget secret rings
I must say, I could totally see Eggman doing this. He's gone to the lengths of summoning all these gods to defeat Sonic. Chaos, Dark Gaia, the dragon at the end of Superstars, the Time Eater, and many more.

Okay, I just looked at the final boss, Eggman didn't mention wanting to kill Sonic, so I really should've checked that. Plus, I don't think Eggman would summon Satan, but probably a deity like Satan, I dunno.
It's basically a storybook game and a classic game two in one
Pretty cool
Before the witch fight, there's a missing midboss that's a port of Castlevania Bloodlines' silhouette demon (from stage 5).
Gotta love sonic x castlevania, with all the fantasical foes he's faced, this almost seems like a fitting crossover!
-Too bad halloween is still 8 months too early-
Especially with Death because of the scene in the Belmonts' reveal trailer for Smash Ultimate where he "kills" Luigi
The bosses in this hack are extremely fun, the final boss is also just really impressive!
Hands down Death has the best boss theme in here I love it I need to find this ost soon good work
Death's Theme is "Imhotep" by Gerry Trevino.
While definitely dark for a mainline sonic game, it works really well gameplay wise. It really is "If Sonic was in Castlevania"
If they just made the stuff a bit more cartoony and the bosses didn't explode into gore, it feels like it would be a good halloween special edition game
That was unbelievable. Stellar playing. Cracking soundtrack. And that Shaft fight was amazing. "Oh the Sonic boss didn't work, quick get the Castlevania boss out!" Amazing.
And I like the gameplay for some parts before a boss fight begins!
Any idea where Death's and Eggman's boss theme come from?
EDIT: Found Eggman's theme. It's an original composition by Gerry Trevino. It's called "Through Hell and Fire".
EDIT2: Death's theme is also from him. Track is called "Imhotep".
Demonic Eggman looks like he could fit right in DOOM 2016
Sonic & Castlevania.
A combination that I've wanted for a LONG time.❤
Quick warning for any photosensitive people, some of the bosses present (namely the animations during the death fight) have flashing lights, so be careful when viewing.
I vaguely remember hearing about this, but forgot about it, and I am so glad the Algorithm reminded me!
This is unapologetically amazing, and reminds me of daydreaming about famous video game characters all battling it out!
Oh god, this is incredible game with dark atmosphere about Sonic, usualy everyone making those with Mario like Super Mario Fusion Revival
The music is incredibly good.
12:39 Sinn... Sin city wasn't made for you.
I love when they added death from castlevania
This is siiick. Definitely want to give this a play lol.
You could say that Robotnick became a... Deviled Egg.
I absolutely adore that death himself also spindashes.
Death dosent have a gender its either them or it
@@marcosandrey5059 Gloam refers to them as sir. This death is male.
@@marcosandrey5059 i don't care
this could've been a masterpiece if it was Shadow instead of Sonic, he fits the atmosphere better
He does
Well he could have been made a playable character aside from Sonic
Agreed.
Edgiest shit ever
Nah. Shadow is cringe edgy. I mean, so is Sonic but still. Sonic doesn't act edgy, he has his priorities straight.
Oh wow, the mad scientist is the sprite from Splatterhouse 2. Dope!
i stg sonic fangame makers... never change.
A bunch of my favorite series all together nice, also Shaft liking Sonic was nice
Castlevania and Sonic fans must be having a blast with this hack
It's finally finished! That's awesome to hear!
The rom hack is fully done? one of the coolest Rom hacks that's too good not to ignore
To ignore* saying “too good to not ignore” means ignoring it
Fix your grammar
Amazing gameplay (as always) but also I love that you introduce us to some really cool hacks and fangames.
I think the witch is supposed to resemble Honey the Cat from Sonic Fighters?
this shatterverse is kinda wild huh?

This was absolutely amazing. When I order an everdrive I’ll give this a try
This is really amazing so much improvement the sprite upgrade more bosses and the backgrounds the music upgrade the changes and the style! everything about this is really great I'm so glad they finished the game! i know this video was like 6 months ago but I didn't know this game was fully finished Just impressive 10/10
Ooh I can recognize Ghost in Goblins, Castlevania, Contra Hard Corps and Splatterhouse in this! Have I found a good sonic horror game? There must be others.
Hopefully there will be more but, hellfire saga I feel takes the top spot second being maybe sonic exe?
That giant heart comes from Contra Hard Corps.
@@quentinlutzwick7993 I see, thank you for telling me. 💀👍🏻
@@erebusgrim
And let's not forget, Death's second form looks and fights a whole lot like the third boss from Gaiares.
@@kxg9000 Oh! I see. I never heard of that game. I have to check it out sometime. Thank you for pointing that out.
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and I love it
death is the same Grimm reaper sprite from the gaiares game
The sprite is from Rondo of Blood/Dracula X
@@arthursnyder6935 He's talking about the 2nd phase.
Well in that I have true but in the mechanics that he uses his hand it is the same as that of gaiares, look for a Gameplay and see what I mean
That sonic sprite is fantastic.
'Worm'? Pretty sure it's called Moldorm.
Any Zelda fan worth their salt would know that.
damn those soundtracks are really lit! i like them
Honestly? After watching this I wished many other game franchises could make a comeback even if its by the community with fan made games. This was metal af but man I wished Ape Escape or Ganbare Goemon would come back.
WAIT EGGMAN IS THE KING OF HELL???
LIKE IN THE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG FANDUB? LET'S GO?
@Nyan Htet Aung Okay I guess?
oh what a nice looking fangam- YOU'RE SAYING ITS A ROMHACK!?
It's a romhack for Genesis
@@gufighter6017 - 🤓
Damn the first stage of Rusty ost is in this game
I loved the bit where Sonic was waiting for the Zone passed screen.
YO THEY FINISHED IT?
Thanks for the upload
AVGN needs to play this
Also this reminds me of one of the early concepts of before the first sonic game sonic was originally going to fight demons instead of robots
Lol the pig took less hits than evil Arthur. Bacon anyone?
Nice,so they used some sprites of The Adventures of Batman & Robin (Sega Genesis Version)
Cool!
I know that boss theme...
That's from Castlevania Chronicles!
I wish one day a crossover fanmade with RESIDENT EVIL,imagine a leon sonic kennedy😖
This is an amusing concept, but this hack has a problem with bosses that refuse to let you hit them. There is SO. MUCH. WAITING.
i can't believe they finally finished it
Shadow would have taken this assignment but he thought it was too incomprehensibly edgy. That and both his gun and roller blades broke at the same time.
The best final boss ever
Sonic Hellfire is the Creppypasta Sonic.exe more realistic that could happen because takes the high value about the Satanism as a way to pay tribute to have a great power to be more evil like Satan. I like it.
This is like a Fusion of Sonic the Hedgehog and Castlevania
And ghouls 'n ghosts
Love how they put music from castlevania sotn in. Amazing
Eggman: "I'm gonna be the King of Hell! It will be me!"
Just when they are releasing a Full ost on the Final version of the fan game?
I continue to be both impressed and flabbergasted by the likes of Hellfire Saga, which CLEARLY has so much effort put into it, and yet the boss design that this hack hangs it's hat on all comes fromt he school of design that many lambasted Sonic 4 Episode 2 for; bosses that stay invulnerable for protracted amounts of time while you are forced to dodge their crap for extended periods of time until a brief vulnerability period opens up.

Lore of Sonic Hellfire Saga (Final Version) All Bosses (No Damage) momentum 100
I had too much fun with this! ❤
Cool game🎮👍
Death is one of all best bosses in this game, it's my favorite.
Yo I need to know Demon Eggman's theme. It's really cool
Gerry Trevino - Through Hell and Fire
Always knew Sonic would give em hell!
1:14 “Where’s everyone going…? Bingo?”
Is it a Sonic, or a Castlevania?
This doesn't seem a hack at all! This is awesome!
I'm really impressed how they used Sonic 3K source code to make this hack. It's difficult to manage I think. Sonic 1/2 codes are more malleable
If you had replaced the OST with tracks from Deathsmiles, no one would’ve blinked. Not to mention, that game’s soundtrack would fit perfectly with a horror themed Sonic fan game.
If someone knows the theme for death please tell me
Okay, the Gloam boss theme is pretty fire.
I must say, I'm only watching this because I kept taking so much damage from the Astaroth fight I couldn't ever survive the battle with Metal Sonic. But I am also seeing some differences in the appearances of Evil Arthur and Astaroth. For one, when I played it, Arthur had a pair of horns and a devil's tail on him.

Wtf, this a great conversion❤️❤️
Yo this is amazing lol
28:57 Hey, Nintendo called, they want their Moldorm back.
Looks like savestates/frame-by-frame was used from how strange, humanly inconsistent, and sometimes particular and exact sonic's movement is. Which I don't mind. Just strange that it's not mentioned.
I don't know why. But seeing Mecha Sonic drop dash was cool.
Does anyone know who did the music and is there a channel for it?
Thnks u
This looks cool
When Sonic meets Castlevania, Ghosts ´n Goblins/Ghouls ´n Ghosts and Demon´s Crest bosses!
This reminds me of a bootleg or dream I had as a kid about Sonic fighting a giant Satan,I remember it being kinda weird and too creepy
question, shadowserg eggman espaces with his eggmobile?
I wouldn't be surprised if this game telegraphed me how to drink water
Holy hell, like, seriously, the game dosen't trust the player's inteligence at all
Thats what made most stuff really easy principaly the final boss the claw atack you can literaly pause the game to see the patern
@hotomug1761 that's why you should be selective about what kind of criticisim you hear
And let's face it, if you have to tell the player every 5 minutes what they should do in a boss fight, you probably don't have a very well desinged boss fight
What's the music in 02:46
Just wondering how many of these bosses are from other games and how many are original?
Am I the only one who saw him get hit at 16:20 but didn’t take damage from the bosses blade swing?
Acho que este jogo dá uma noção de como seria se o Sonic fosse lançado pra SNES.
Na verdade, se Sonic fizesse um crossover com Castlevania. Tinha um projeto de porte de Sonic pro SNES, mas não sei se vai para frente.
Amazing this hack
New Sonic game - Approved!
