purpose of creation was not for the advancement of technology itself but served as a compass to another dimension, which the Echidnas visited millennia ago and got known as the Children of the Stars. With the Golden Epics as their map and the Albion technology as their compass, Sonic and his crew venture on a journey of epic proportions in a distant world in order to uncover the mysterious past of the Echidna civilization and the Legend of the Golden Epics.
During their journey to the Nexus, the World that Connects Worlds, Sonic and his friends will meet new allies and enemies and come across various mysteries such as the Echidna civilization's hidden past, the sudden appearance of a planet like structure in Central City's skyline and the sudden disappearance of G.U.N. soldiers following its appearance.
The game's story explores the relationships between technology and nature and how one can affect the other with man as the epicenter. It also focuses on forgiveness and generosity as seen in the epilogue of the game where Sonic, in reference to writer and poet Khalil Gibran, says that generosity is not giving someone something that he needs most, but giving him that which you need more than he does. The story's premise is loosely based on true events.
The game's full story is written on these two pages. Prologue till Chapter 6 are on the first link while Chapters 7 till Epilogue are on the second link.
Gameplay[]
Gameplay of The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Legend of the Golden Epics is divided into two parts; Adventure and RPG. Adventure is very similar to the previous instalment's gameplay The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Rise of the Heroes as well as Action RPG's gameplay. The player takes control of a character in a 3D environment and their objective is to reach the Goal Ring, which is usually found at the end of each level, by defeating enemies, obtaining rings and power ups. Upon completing the level, the player is accredited according to their score, which increases according to the players' progress. Each character has a set of moves unique to him. Up to 4 players simultaneously can join or they can be controlled by the computer. Adventure stages usually take from 7 to 15 minutes to complete and are located in Adventure Fields. There are multiple items in Adventure stages such as vehicles, which assist the player to surpass certain points in the stage, upgrades and red star rings, which unlock bonus content.
In Classic Role-Playing gameplay, the player is given or creates their own party of characters, which can range from 1 to 23 playable characters, and explores environments termed Adventure Fields. Adventure Fields feature various gimmicks such as hidden power-ups, townspeople where the player can interact and gain important information, Shop, puzzles which need to be solved in order to progress etc. The most notable gimmick are enemies, which can be encountered in a random battle, that is they are found scattered in the map and are not obligatory to fight or normally when they serve Story purposes or Bosses. When encountered, the player are drawn into a battle and their objective is to diminish their life points to 0. The gameplay is turn based as are most classic RPG games. Here, up to 4 different characters can be controlled, either by the same player or by others. Characters' abilities and level may be upgraded by earning experience points, which are gained by using the character frequently in battle.
In Battle, numerous commands can be selected. Fight has numerous attacks which the character will execute, Magic has attacks which require a certain cost, Items will allow the character to use items they acquired during their exploration and perform certain actions such as Heal, Special will allow the character to execute a special attack which requires a cost of points and must be loaded. Special Attacks are performed individually. Each character has a list of Basic and Special attacks but must be unlocked as the game progresses. POW Moves are the most powerful attacks. They are performed either individually or partnered, sometimes even with 4 characters. These attacks requires lost of points to be conducted. Finally, other commands include Flee and Summon, where the player can summon a creature for assistance. One notable contrast with the rest RPG games in the market is that this game does not involve difficult or complicated gameplay with statistics or power meters etc. Instead, it is targeted for a younger audience. In general, the RPG gameplay remains loyal to the initial instalments of the classic RPG series Final Fantasy.
Bosses are battled either Adventure or RPG mode. Bosses, like Adventure stages, can also be selected from the menu once cleared. The Story of the game progresses as the player clears more Adventure and RPG stages. Additional gameplay elements include puzzles, which serve as little minigames or riddles. The game features 3D CGI animated cutscenes, as well as in game dialogue scenes where the player may sometimes be given the option of selecting the answer, altering the game's progress.
Characters[]
All in all, the game features 23 playable characters (24 in RPG) and a number of other non playable characters. The player starts off with few characters and as the story progresses, more characters that are encountered throughout the game will join the party.

Chaos - In the end of The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Rise of the Heroes, it was revealed that Cheese the Chao was none other than the Goad of destruction himself. Chaos is a very unique character, as he can upgrade during gameplay into his other forms. His ability to shapeshift allows him to use multiple ways to attack his enemies. Chaos does not appear in the story until the very end in Chapter 10, as such, he appears the most late than any other character in the game. Even so, he does not become playable until the story is finished. He is therefore unlockable.

Development[]
The conception of the game started before even Sonic Adventure 3: GX was finished. Part of the beginning of the story of the game is featured in the true final story of the former game, which the player must unlock, where the actual purpose of the Albion technology is revealed, setting the beginning of The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Legend of the Golden Epics. Writing of the game began in April 24, 2014 and was completed in August 24, 2014. The game was originally going to have a more magic and phantasy themed approach, but that was changed in the final version of the game to make its tone closer to that of its prequels.
Developers placed great emphasis on the game's story, because they believed that the story is the driving force of the gameplay. Compared to the storylines of previous Sonic games, the story of Legend of the Golden Epics is very long and is intended to keep the player interested. In addition, they paid attention to the story's moral and ethical messages, especially in the ending. New characters were introduced to make the plot more complex.Sutamin , an ancient robot of the Jomon,Zonic the Zone Cop and Kid Cruel, both of whom had appeared previously in the comics, as well as Pika the Relic, who has a very small and unimportant role in the game.
Big, but lesser importance comparatively to the story and the character development, was given to the gameplay and the graphics. The gameplay mixes traditional RPG with that of adventure and platformer similar to its predecessors. Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix from Two Steps from Hell were hired to compose the musical score for the game's story, while Crush 40 composed the game's theme song and the music for the stages. The game's trailer also features a track from Two Steps from Hell's Skyworld album, called Blizzard.
The game draws inspiration from various wallpapers, animes and manga, but was mostly inspired by musical tracks that fitted with the game's atmosphere, the Archie comics and observations from nature. The concept of the Children of the Stars visiting and colonizing a faraway land, founding civilization and developing technology was inspired by actual, historic events. In the end, the game was released much earlier than it was scheduled, which was Spring 2015.
Unlockable Content[]
When the player clears Story Mode, they unlock Chaos as a playable character in both RPG and action stages. Kid Cruel is also unlocked but is only playable in RPG gameplay. By collecting red star rings found in stages, players unlock concept artwork, music, character pofiles and deleted material, all visible in the Extras. When the player completes the game 100%, including all of the Challenges, they unlock a very limited demo of the upocoming game SEGA vs. Capcom with only 6 playable characters and 1 accessable stage. These characters are Akira, Selvaria Bles and Sakura for SEGA and Ryu, Chris Redfield and Morrigan for Capcom.

The game received very good reviews and was highly anticipated among the public. The highest ratings came from Nintento Power, which gave the game a perfect 10, citing the game's profound story, great visuals, sophisticated character development and maturity that would keep the older Sonic fans of the Dreamcast era interested. Famitsu gave the gave a 35 out of 40 noting its similarities with the gameplay of old-school RPG games in conjunction with an adventurous narrative and action packed stages. Most critics praised the game's music, stating that it is one of the best in the series, something that the Sonic franchise has retained over the years. IGN gave the game a 9 out of 10, praising its overall presentation and devotion of its developers, as well as the vast adventure fields and the freedom the player was given during gameplay and exploration.
On the other hand, there others that were more critical on the game. GamesRadar gave the game a 7 out of 10, which is considered a mediocre mark while Gamesrankings put the gme a 74%, praising its exhilarating gameplay, but criticizing its confusing game mechanics and controls. The camera system also received some criticism, which sometimes acted inappropriately. The lowest reviews came from the Xbox One version of the game, which contained some minor glitches and slightly longer loading time than the other versions.
All in all, Legend of the Golden Epics was met with positive reactions from critics and fans alike, in spite the fact that it received the lowest scores from the 3 games in the Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog series, but still high enough to be called one of the best Sonic games in the modern era, following Sonic Unleashed, the Riders series and Sonic Generations.
