Welcome to my coverage from the Sonic Hacking Contest 2023,

This time we play through: Hellfire Saga
which is a hack of Sonic 3&K that I would classify as perfect for the spooky season of Halloween which is why this is the first game I played through.

This game is made by: Red Miso Studios

Here is the info from the SHC page:
"Hellfire Saga is back in the Sonic Hacking Contest once again. And this time, we brought you a completed game.

This is a hack of Sonic 3 & Knuckles that is a cross-over between Castlevania, Ghosts 'n Goblins and Sonic game series, focused on boss fights (but not forgetting fast-paced platforming either!) and providing a unique story and aesthetic not seen in other hacks of the Sonic games.

If you only remember us from the last contest we appeared in, the game has received a monstrous amount of polish and new content, and is now completely playable from start to finish.

Overall features:

10 acts of fast-paced platforming and hard-as-nails fights across 4 zones;
15 mini-bosses to fight, 3 major bosses to really sink your teeth into, and one final boss that really is something special;
A soundtrack of remixes and original songs that pushes the console to its absolute limits, available in the Sound Test as well;
Four difficulty modes, including Normal, Hard, Assist (if you're struggling, and we don't judge by the way!), and Maniac (if you are truly insane);
And finally, a mode that disables flashing effects, if you need that.
____________________________________________________

Now, if you've played our January 2023 release, we've still got a few things for you in this v2.0 update...

The game has received a lot of tweaks and polish.
The final boss now has a new music track for the second phase.
But for those who remember the original and want an excuse to perfect their skills...

Welcome to Extra mode. Your playthroughs will be judged. You will need to train to achieve a perfect run and be set free. The world has not forgotten your misdeeds. You reap what you sow."

For this video I play through the entirety of Forest of Decay, and after that I will be going through the last act of the other zones in order to not make this a 2 hour video which it could easily be even after editing out all my deaths, (which there were plenty of BTW)


I hope you enjoyed this video.
