About Sonny
Sonny is a series of role-playing adventure games created in Flash by Krin and published through Armor Games. The main feature that sets it apart from other RPGs is that the main character, Sonny, is a zombie, and the plot of the game is structured around this key fact. The game is set in a fictional universe with a wide variety of technology and equipment; for example, some characters use melee weapons, such as clubs and swords, while others use magic or guns.

I never expected to see a video about Sonny in 2024, this takes me way back. These games are inspirational.
I enjoyed playing it very much! I didn't know about it until i made this channel about a month ago, i've received a ton of requests for it since then
@@TheLovelyScrub If you liked 1, you're going to love 2!
The Legacy Collection of Sonny is coming to Steam as well sometimes soon.
Just a couple more weeks
Now did I
There's something so funny about seeing Louis suddenly has 1 hp and realising "uh oh, not the scripted character death!"
This was a game made by a fan of games. Sonny and Sonny 2 were masterpieces of the Newgrounds era. Happy to see you've got a video on The Last Stand as well!
Yes sir! I havent played Sonny 2 yet, but I will, and then I will do a video on that as well. And yupp, my video on the Last Stand essentially "made" this channel lol
@@TheLovelyScrub Oh man. If you liked sonny , wait till you play sonny 2.
@@ANGST.ARGENTINA I am very excited!
Krin! His other games are great as well. Sinjid, Tainted Kingdom and Colony spring to mind.
I've been playing this game every few years since I got my first computer in 2008 and only NOW I found out that you can put the same ability multiple times in the action bar!
Oh that's interesting! Reminds of the time when I first played Skyrim. I made it to level 12 before I realized you could Sprint in the game lol
Sonny 3 its my half life 3
Eeeh about that...
@@Fulcrox it's still under in development. However, the developer is having an issue with managing the development and his personal life.
Fr?
There's a mobile version that continues on the story, but isn't a Sony 3 in itself
Well Krin has a whole career in CG design so he dioesnt have the same time as beforehand
At a time when flash was at its peak. Oh I wanna go back.. 😞
At least they recovered somehow and we can play flash games again :)
Broooo
My man's SONNY
I'm depressed about the mobile game tho
Mostly the lack of equipment looking badass but yeh
@@eagan_1902 Agreed, the moment I found out equipment had no visual changes I kinda dropped off of the Sonny remake.
I played this game because I had watched I, Robot and was looking for a game based on the movie with the robot's name. This was fun but confusing for an 8 year old that refused to read any context or tutorials.
Bro, Veradux's combat medic armor looks so sick.
Yeah I agree, I went quite a while before changing it lol
I remember taking it off from him and using it on Sonny but I feel so bad for him 🤣 Veradux is such a wingman with that electric ball and heal
Soon as I saw the title, i KNEW we were talking about Sonny and i was instnatly filled with joy. Sonny was one of my all time faovirte flash games, Sonny 2 being pretty damn great too.
Never would have expected seeing a video on it this year but i'm pleased all the same.
Glad to hear it! :)
I love this game series, thanks for reminding me. Played it in school repeatedly.
The playthroughs i did for the video were my first times. Not sure how I missed this during the era of flash, but better late than never!
@@TheLovelyScrub The entire "Submachine" series is excellent too, if you want a wild series to cover.
Holy moly bro…
You just made me unlock a suuuuper old memory, I barely remember anything about this game but the art style has stuck with me for like maybe 10 PLUS years 😳😳
The boss music in this game is consistently one of my favorites, I love to use it in my DnD games.
Cant wait to see ya go over more flash games, along with a bit on their soundtracks, especailly Raze, specifically the greatness of Raze 2's soundtrack (Rose at Nightfall my beloved)
The Raze series is on my to-do list, I'll make sure to include some coverage of the soundtrack :)
I have one memory of this game. Sonny saying, calmly, “your membership rates are too high. I’d rather kill you.” I remember being chilled.
I didn't remember it until I saw the gameplay screen, then it all came flooding back.
Man, what I wouldn't give for an AA followup to this... some mid-range developer looking to spread their wings takes this concept and runs with it.
Yeah that would be sick. At least we're getting a legacy collection on steam. Should come with some increased resolution textures, maybe some other upgrades as well
Sadly the Sonny 3 project seems dead in the water.
Honestly, I've wanted to have a go at recreating armour, weapons and maybe some environments in 3D. Not the characters though or the game itself though, Sonny is Krinn's baby and I think that might be going a bit far. Besides I have my own ideas for what I want to do and I think ultimately only Krinn can really get it right or knows where the plot was heading.
Aw man don’t keep us hanging. I remember playing a bunch of these flash games as a kid and I barely remember them properly or their stories. I definitely love hearing the plots most of all.
Sonny 2 will be the next video, so stay tuned for that! :)
Video: About Sonny
Me upon seeing Raze: (A heart attack caused by pure nostalgia)
To this day, I still sometimes say, _"Oh you scratchy fish!"_
Man i still play this game series from time to time, i only wish it gets adopted into a major game in the future. Thank you for covering it. waiting for sonny 2 coverage as well!
Thank you for watching! And a Sonny 2 video will happen as well!
Even to this day i still think and listen to raze. its one of my biggest inspirations however what got me into hacking flash games and seeing how they work was sonny and the series of it that fallowed. The characters story and world it inhabits screams care. I am glad someone is talking about it to this day.
Sonny 2 was a legit masterpiece. Well thought out RPG system that created so many hours of replay value for a flash game. One of the GOATs for sure.
The fact that there wasn''t a sonny 3 is criminal.
Agreed!
It was planned, got scrapped, and the dev iirc gave in to making a really... Poorly made mobile remake.
Poor enough that some of the bosses were nigh impossible.
@@zephranarx2172 i learned sonny by that version, i'm still playing it and I'M STILL CAN'T FINISH STAGE 6
BARON BRIXIUS IS LITTERALY IMMORTAL
I'm glad I'm not the only one stuck in the mobile game. I'm still trying to do it without training and it's damn hard
@@ogxh0018 i thought i am the only person still plays this game lol
other than runescape. sonny and epic war where probably the games i played the most in my childhood. good times
I used to LOVE Runescape! I remember a friend showing it to me during summer school was year lol and i was hooked after that
Glad to see one of the first flash games I ever really got invested in getting some coverage!
Man this takes me back. One of my few happy high school memories. I really need to get back to this
Oh yeah dude it's never too late to revisit this game! Doing this video was my first time ever playing it, and it's 2024 lol
@@TheLovelyScrub I think I beat the first game because I remember the final cutscene but I never started the sequel.
IS THIS SONNY? Fuck yeah I love this game
Thank you! I played Sonny 2 way back in my childhood and I've wanted to play it again, but I couldn't find it cause I forgot how it was called and always ended up stumbling into unrelated flash games with similar titles. Good video, dude. Now, I'm gonna play Sonny 2 finally!
Ah, Sonny. A gem of the flash era. Fun little fact! Back in the day the fandom created the challange run of "Legend mode" which meant only ever playing story mode stages and never once doing practice stages. That was then implemented by Krin in Sonny 2 as an actual achivement and badge of honor (along side the fact that there was a competition where people could have a say in certain enemy designs.) Sonny reboot also added that, but overall reboot is.... A lacking game. From the complete reboot perspective, to the fact its missing so much in terms of animation for battles and even a lack of VA work! Sonny 1 and 2 both had a lot of voice acting, yet it's supremely rare in the reboot. It's a shame a third game never came out, but hey, we got the collection at least right?
Good memories of playing this during computer lab. I remember getting through most of one of the games until i reached one fight that I couldn't figure out how to beat.
This feels like a blast from the past, god i forgot this game existed, but im so glad this video reminded me
I aint ever play this game, but i LOVED another turn based rpg, it was called tournament of champions or something like that
Sonny series is still one of my favorite flash games. It's been years and I'm still hoping for the third game. (Not even including the reboot Sonny in the mobile app)
Its one of my new favorites for sure!
i love that the algorithm is finally feeding me stuff like this. games i hadn't thought of for years but that brought immense joy in my childhood coming back to me.
Me too! lol
Sonny was pretty dang good. I remember playing it back when I was a kid; the gameplay was quite fun to loop. Never finished though.
I get about a run a year for both original games, whenever the nastalgia hits.
I love doing challenges, or cheat runs the most, but once in a while you just have to play a normal run
This game made me such a sucker for percentage-based RPG skills and buffs; the developer felt the reliance on buffs/debuffs was a flaw but I felt it made the game special. I remember when I used to desperately search for some sort of game editor or sth, or even just like a skill/item editor because I was so enamoured by the whole concept.
Do you remember Lord of the Rings: The Third Age?
I love the weapon designs in this series. Even for it's time, those are beautiful weapons to behold. Even that old rusty pipe
Oh wow! I remember Sonny, so many sequels too… Wow! It’s been so long!
I remember the second game better. It was so good. And the "Ow, my face!" gag in cutscenes was pretty hilarious.
Very nostalgic! I grew up playing flash games and I know a few games that you might want to check out: Strike Force Heroes 1, 2 and 3; Raze 1, 2 and 3; Knightthron; Zombotron 1, 2 and the steam version.
Several of these are on my to-do list!
This game was my safe place Sonny 2 was just an early Christmas present. Try Sinjid if you haven’t.
THANK YOU I remember playing Sonny many years ago but I never actually remembered the name of it which frustrated me so damn much.
For kingdom rush and its other variations i am guilty as charged, i was obsessed with that game.
Yup, I remember.
Great times.
Used to play this game 15 years ago, watching video now in 2024. One of the underrated online games at that time
I have been looking for this game forever ...
Bro a Sonny video in 24? No way!
I have a video on Sonny 2 also! :)
Yeah why not a lore compendium/full story for thing thing?
Ah, Sonny was one of the more influential pieces of my childhood, thanks for covering it!
You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed it! And Sonny 2 will be coming soon as well :)
man o man i loved this game so much when i was kid. played all the classes an had shuch a blast...
I'm so happy you made a video about this beautiful game. Thank you kind sir.
@@DenisK3000 and thank you :)!!
My favourite flash game growing up. I still love the visual style.
One of my favorite turn base game back then.
A new YT channel about Flash games? I am all here for it.
Don't forget that the Legacy Collection is coming out on Steam "soon"
Yeah it should be a lot of fun!
loved this game series as kid.
The height of the flash game era was such a great time. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours I spent on Armorgames playing the thousands of flash games they had on there, especially the Sonny games. I'm so grateful for the people who made these games available for free. I didn't have much money then and my PC was very old and slow so I couldn't have played the newer games even if I could have afforded them. So I'd play flash games and watch youtube videos of people playing all the cool-looking games. Thank you for these reviews of the iconic flash games!
Fr thank flash game developers for letting us poor kids play good games instead of whatever slop is on the App Store.
I'm just so happy to see that those flash games are still being talked about today, especially since it basically built part of my childhood memories. Thinking about a personal favourite, do you know the Thing-Thing serie, along with it's spin-off Thing-Thing Arena ? If you do, do you plan on making a coverage of the serie one day ?
They're an absolute treat of the Flash era.
I personally played 2 for alot of times in different classes, my personal favorite being Biological class running full Venom/Poison build on the harder difficulty.
Came here after i started replaying this classic. Running assassin build cos i love burst dps.
Definitely don't skip out on the training! Loot farming is a huge part of your build. And a lot of fun when you get all the pieces you want!
Typically you can find complete sets in zones between the mobs and shop. You can also go back to a zone after completing it and do the "next fight" option again to fight the boss again, and loot farm the boss. They have multiple drops but takes a lot of attempts to get everything.
Also I cant remember if this is just the second Sonny, but some zones have minibosses part way through. Once you beat them they get added to the pool of training encounters. More loot farming.
Nostalgia dropped peak on my recommendeds
SONNY IN 2024!!!
I was hoping for someone to shed light on this gem for so long
Baron stil lives rent free in my head to this day
Ah, the creme de la creme of my childhood. The second game, mostly, but it wont exist without the first, no?
12:21 well, its not that random if you look closely and see that he has the color of the golem behind the suit. Y'know, Rock-star?
I forgot if its the same as the snd game version, but the best way to beat Baron is to drain his Focus, because he has an ability that let him recharge his Focus by paying it with big chunks of his health.
Please consider making a video for both Feudalism and Thing-Thing series, especially Thing-Thing Arena 3. Its from CrazyMonkeyGames, but i rememmber see it in other sites as well
Those game have been recommended a few times, before. I havent looked into them yet because of the huge list of games on my to-do list, but i noted them down to look into later!
Sonny 2 is my favorite. Sonny 3 - I prefer to forget.
Man, Sony was so great it, i revisited it some years later too, and i had a blast, sad they never made the third game they promised, and made a reboot instead
Yeah from what I hear people don't like the reboot, was that your experience as well?
@@TheLovelyScrub have been years since i played it, but i as far i remember, the game takes a completely different route to what people expected, the most noticeable being that is a reboot, not a sequel so most of the questions people had with the previous games story, lore and characters are completely not answered and the travel we did is lost. The next most noticeable thing is the artstyle, it departs from the flash looking manequins and has more detailed takes on characters, armors and abilities, wich is a plus, or would be, if they had animated the characters, wich are now PNGs who throw powers along the screen and smash each other time to time (altought i appreciate the effects and designs). The enemy pool is kinda disjointed, you kinda miss some of the bizarre ideas they had. And the final most noticeable thing is the gameplay, some things were brought back, others completely changed, one of them is the evolve mechanic wich basically works only in battle and doesnt stack along the story.
If you ever want to try the game, its currently ported on Steam and mobile devices.
@@Fulcrox yeah I've seen it on Steam, I think I'll pass on the reboot and just play part 2 for now. That's very odd they did a reboot and didn't animate the characters lol
it's pronounced like "coup de grass" not "gra", coup de grace means finishing blow and the way you prounounce it would something like "fat hit" or "strike with fat"
That interesting, learn something new every day. I've literally never heard anyone say it that way ever, but after a quick google you are correct
@@TheLovelyScrub i'm on a mission to correct anglophones on that common mistake i'm glad i could help
@@riv4lm4nYo, literally the day after this comment I was watching Lucifer on Netflix and he said it in one of the episodes. Weird
@@TheLovelyScrub did he say it correctly ? If you want more info "grâce" in coup de grâce means favour or mercy, it's a blow you do to put someone out of their misery.
@@riv4lm4n yeah he did indeed say it correctly
Daaamn, Sonny and Sonny 2 were my fav games when i was a kid, and even now, they hold!
If the sequel is half as good as the first, then the original dualogy is going to be high my list of favorite flash games, and from what I hear the 2nd is even better than the 1st
@@TheLovelyScrub sequel is plainly better in every way, you will love it
@@TheBaronEssen sick, I'm glad to hear that!
My absolute favorite flash game!
Absolutely goated game. Fantastic memories
this game is/was amazing. looking forward to sonny 2 review!
Oh yeah, i definitely played that game and it was one of the best i ever got my hands on back in the day
Dame I feel old now I remember playing this game when I was in 4th or 5 grade bro.
Haha hell yeah I wish I knew about this game back then
Sonny is a hard af flash game. Just flat right out the gate.
Sonny 1 and 2 - imo is the best ones out there, I'm sad Krin-labs didn't go into sonny 3 where things went off... as it would've been so much better in my eyes at least. The current variant on steam that was just named Sonny, didn't feel like it would carry on - and sadly it didn't. IF the team is still working on Sonny 3, then we just gotta wait and hope... and be informed on where it will be found.
Can't wait for Sonny 2!
Thank you! :) I can't wait to play it!
This game was so freaking good. Replayed multiple times, so many strategic possibilities!
The second one was hard to unlock all the zones, but it was satisfying to unlock all that gear. At the same time also sad cause that means for sure I really finished the game
The series can now be played on steam now
Yupp thats right! I got a video on that one too (pretty much i only cover sonny 2 though from the legacy collection)
th-cam.com/video/JhDW0sqB3O0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4rFSXAptYmI81sDB
Ah yes, this was my childhood ❤
i like flash games and love the fact that u ur voice sounds like Saul Goodman so whenever i watch your videos I imagine him explaining everything hahahaha, never played sonny but always knew about it! maybe I'll play it after finishing this:)
Haha that is a funny picture for sure! And you should definitely play the game, I never heard of it until i got a ton of comments from people requesting it on my other flash game videos, and boy am i glad they did!
I miss all the flash games
You can play flash games again, head to your favorite site and take a look!
You can place the same ability MULTIPLE TIMES? How did I not know this years later...
Glad I could help :)
I've played and loved both the two flash games AND the Android version. The latter lost some of the magic touch the flash games have, but IMO it compensated with the OST
Ah... Sonny... I remember it... I remember its sequel. I remember waiting for 3rd part and never seeing it happening :) Great game, great game indeed. Also, one of those rare occasions where sequel is better than previous part (in my opinion).
Ah, the one game I played again and again, yet never managed to finish
Man Sonny was a fun little RPG.
That's my childhood right there
played it back in the day. exeptional game.
Agreed!
Holy shit why am I seeing a Sonny video in 2024....what the hell?
I don’t know if this is the game but i remembered playing somewhere like this so long ago, the art style looks sooo familiar! If this is it, i finally found the game i been looking for so long!
I fucking got thrown back so fast to my days of playing flash story games in the school library and public library even my own computer.
My last game on the website was the demo for sonny 2...i think it was a glash website and not newgrounds...now I'm trying to remember this robot pilot game where your farher gets taken and now you have to rescue him
When i saw the words "GREATEST flash game" i almost missed the words "One of" truth is, I've had a major huge request of a game but decided to hold back until you got more subscribers because 1: like 2-3 other TH-camrs have already talked about it 2: more subs means bigger guarantee that more people will see it
Because if we're talking about the greatest flash games ever made, then as soon as you can, you my guy have got to check out Road of the Dead, its sequel and its 2 1/2 spin offs by Evil-Dog, still patiently awaiting the day it gets its own legacy collection on steam just like all the others.
Yeah I seen a couple of those videos floating around, road of the dead is definitely on my to-do list. I've already recorded a bit of footage for it. Not much mind you, but some . That's another game I never heard of until being recommended it on this channel in the comments
@@TheLovelyScrub AND YOU PREVIOUSLY NEV- bruh you are missing out man, fair warning about the sequel though, it does not run like it used to back in the day, i wasn't kidding about wanting a higher quality steam port, that usually fixes the issues these old games have.
@@sonicANDtailsfan157k okay I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
Shit, I've been trying to recall the name of this game for years. Thank you 🙏
You better do a Raze and Strike Force Heroes overview
Well i only played the Sonny remake for mobile but this video makes me wanna play the flash versions as well
Blast from the past!
I remember a bug or maybe it was a hidden feature. You could stack stats from your gear without wearing it. Can't remember the specifics of it but when you sold a piece of gear you could keep the stat of it by doing something.
Anyone remember how?
that sounds pretty wild tbh lol
Yeah, you just have to grab a piece of equipment, click the options menu, then click around and then the equipment will dissappear but will still buff you as if it was equipped, it's a ridiculous exploit I did some times to see how broken I can get
man Sonny 2 was peak flash era
I played this game on an iPad bar no clue it was made in flash beforehand.
Yes sir! And from what I've gathered from others, the remake (the version you played) doesnt hold a candle to the original, so if you have a PC you should check it out!
Holy I remembered this game it been so long ago
I was hooked on Sonny when i initially found it its a good game i find it unfortunate that its its not available on steam
Hey, you. You're finally awake, Sonny.
