Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
Nintendo DS · 2008
About this game
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood , a mysterious force has begun to tear apart the world and Sonic and his band of friends (11 of them playable) must come together to fight off the menace and bring peace back.
The gameplay is a mix of action and RPG where players explore a map, collecting items and rings, which can be used to buy new special attacks and solve puzzles that are unique to each of the characters in the players party.

To fight the player customizes their party of four from the eleven playable characters and uses the stylus to rhythmically tap and drag at a precise time to complete attacks and string together a group of deadly combos.
There are 20 different areas to explore, ranging from classic Sonic backdrops to new ones created for the game.
Another feature is the "Story So Far Feature", which does a quick recap of the players progress each time they start their game back up.
Players can also go wireless through Wi-Fi and trade Chao, a unique artificial life form, each with their own distinct power-ups and abilities that can be used in battles.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2008.
