Sonic RPG Episode 9

Seelkadoom is back with 80000 HP, but this time the fight no longer waits for your turn. Your hero runs across a castle wall under a red moon while two teammates fight beside you on their own, and the damage counter climbs with every combo. Sonic RPG Episode 9 is a free fan made RPG battle game you play in your browser. You watch the story unfold, then lead Shadow, Knuckles and NiGHTS against Seelkadoom with skills, strategies and powerful Spirit Limits.

Main Controls

• Move: ARROW KEYS
• Attack commands: Z, X, C or V
• Strategy Normal, Defense or Offense: A, S or D
• Menus, scenes and settings: LEFT CLICK

How It Works

Sonic RPG Episode 9 is a sprite movie with a playable battle, made by a team of 3 creators including MidNightMaren. You can play the story with the fight included, watch it as a movie only, or use Scene Selection to jump to a part and set the camera and the difficulty. Before the fight, a Battle Start! screen introduces your party: Shadow is Player 1 with 1800 HP and 360 MP, Knuckles is Computer 1 with 1500 HP and 280 MP, and NiGHTS is Computer 2 with 1200 HP and 570 MP. The Strategy page explains how your teammates behave.

The battle plays out in real time on a castle wall. Seelkadoom starts with 80000 HP, and a counter shows your hits and total damage. Each hero has an HP bar, an MP bar and an SL meter that fills toward 100 percent, which is when the Spirit Limit is ready. While you control Shadow, Knuckles and NiGHTS follow the strategy you picked, and medals pop up as you fight.

1. Click PLAY on the title screen, then Play Movie/Game.
2. Open Scene Selection to choose Easy, Normal or Hard and a camera type.
3. Check Status and Strategy on the Battle Start! screen.
4. Click Engage Battle! to begin the fight.
5. Move Shadow with the ARROW KEYS and attack with Z, X, C and V.
6. Switch your team's strategy with A, S and D as the fight changes.
7. Use Spirit Limits when the SL meters reach 100 percent.

What Makes It Stand Out

• Real time battle: You move and attack whenever you like instead of waiting for turns.
• 3 hero party: Shadow, Knuckles and NiGHTS each have their own role, stats and skills.
• AI teammates: Knuckles and NiGHTS fight on their own based on the strategy you set.
• 3 difficulties: Easy, Normal and Hard let you set the challenge before the fight.
• Camera choice: Fixed Camera stays in the middle of the battlefield, while Free Camera follows your hero.
• Spirit Limits: Chaos Nova, Boxing Surge and Judgement Night are the big finishing moves.

Getting Started

• Read the Sonic RPG Episode 9 Status pages first. Skills Detail explains what each move does, such as Chaos Spear stunning the enemy at close range.
• Start on Easy. The first fight teaches how fast Seelkadoom moves before you try Normal or Hard.
• Keep NiGHTS alive. She is the party's Support and heals the team when HP runs low.
• Try Fixed Camera if you lose track of the fight. It keeps the camera in the middle of the battlefield while you move.

Going Further

Sonic RPG Episode 9 rewards using the whole party, not just Shadow. Shadow is a Fighter and Dasher, so his Chaos Control lets him dash through the battlefield without taking damage, with a cooldown of 2 seconds. Knuckles is a Fighter and Off Tank who keeps his distance and jumps away when the enemy gets too close. NiGHTS is a Spell Caster and Support with skills such as Star Rain, Crystal Lance and Healing Field, and the Strategy page says she heals at 30 percent HP. Switching to Defense or Offense with S or D changes how both computer teammates fight, which helps when the party is low or when Seelkadoom is open for damage. Saving the SL meters for the right moment turns a long fight into a short one.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Fighting alone. Shadow has the most HP, but he cannot carry the fight without his teammates.
• Staying on Offense too long. A low party needs the Defense strategy to survive.
• Ignoring the SL meters. A full Spirit Limit left unused is wasted damage.
• Starting on Hard. Seelkadoom's speed is much easier to learn on Easy first.

Final Thoughts

The Sonic RPG Episode 9 game turns the series' boss fight into a real time battle with a full party, settings for difficulty and camera, and a story you can watch on its own. Playing Sonic RPG Episode 9 online works best on a computer with a keyboard, since moving and attacking use the ARROW KEYS and letter keys. Players who prefer slow turn based battles may find the pace much faster than in earlier episodes.
