Sonic Battle Redux

Releasedv0.1.1Game Boy Advance · Arena Fighter

A ground-up combat rework of Sonic Battle for the Game Boy Advance.

An unofficial fan rework of Sonic Battle (GBA). The original cast of characters and some new faces return with new movesets and Supers, built on a new combat framework of Perfect Blocks, air dashes, Pursuit and tech recovery.

Sonic Battle Redux rebuilds the fighting at the heart of Sonic Battle. Version 0.1.1 is the first public build: three fully reworked fighters, a new combat framework, CPU opponents on three difficulties, new menus and a new soundtrack across every menu and stage.

Redux is distributed as a patch. You need your own copy of the original game; the patch is applied to it either right here on DXRKSIGILISM, or on your own machine with a UPS patcher.
