It comes together nicely; it can be a bit of a challenge to creatively use such a tried and true such as the undead in a current mobile game, but in Sonny, it works relatively well.

Critic reviews
- 7.0Sonny does a good job of delivering on the combat from its flash-based predecessors, but doesn't do much more than that. This could make it a quality purchase for fans of tough, turn-based combat. For me though, Sonny's combat seems a little too punishing and the rest of it feels a bit lacking to really feel satisfying.
- 7.0One can only hope that this game is successful enough to justify a sequel of its own (a new Sonny 2 if you will) down the line, perhaps with slightly more elaborate gameplay graphics and a slower progression in difficulty.
- 9.0As a big fan of turn-based strategy RPGs, I think the combat system is awesome in Sonny, and the game is rather punishing if you make a mistake, so it keeps you on your toes. I do wish that it was possible to control how your teammates fight, but I suppose that the way it is now just means you have to plan out your every move, just in case your teammate can’t throw a heal your way. Still, this is a solid release for iOS and a game that I will be keeping around on my device.
- 8.0Sonny is just a solid casual RPG. The battle-based structure makes it easy to play this one for just a few minutes at a time. It's got challenging battles, but it gives you plenty of options to try and get a leg up on any tough enemies and battles. It's easy to play and dive into, but has a surprising depth to the combat. It's lacking a few things, but is overall a cohesive, well-made game that fans of the original Flash games and newcomers should both enjoy.
- 8.5Some points I touched on might irritate me in other games, but they didn’t here, and that’s saying something. The system just works so well. In fact, I’ll go as far as to say that I had a mini-revelation about what I expect from the RPG genre. I love exploring open worlds and diving into deep party management, but I think there’s room in my heart for games like Sonny too, and maybe you’ll feel the same.
