    "An unsung Hero" This game actually was FUN! After going through many RPGs and just games overall that kept me stuck for weeks or forever... I was happy to find a game that challenged me and I had to repeat 3-4 battles but just kept me happy with a good storyline filled with humor and drama. Plus a wide variety of characters.

    This game is amazing. It may be short compared to other GBA games but it's different too.

    LOVE THIS! It is one of my favorite RPG games, ever!! The characters are adorable and well designed, and the fighting style is awesome! I love any game that let's you decide to be a girl or a boy (girls play games too!!), especially if it suggests girl/girl romance!

    Très bon jeu. Avec une histoire entraînante, un gameplay plaisante, de très bonnes Ost, et des personnages attachants qui évolue au fil de l'histoire avec le protagoniste. Le jeu a une difficulté croissante qui reste ni trop simple ni trop dur, parfaitement modéré (si tu y arrives pas,c'est que tu as voulu avancer trop vite). Maintenant, j'ai hâte de faire la suite et les épisodesTrès bon jeu.

    Un juego sorprendentemente adictivo. La historia no es gran cosa, pero tampoco resulta tediosa. Graficamente es bastante bonito, en especial los combates. Lo mejor el sistema de batalla sin duda, bastante parecido a Tales of Phantasia pero infinitamente mas rápido y dinámico.

Lo mejor el sistema de batalla sin duda, bastante parecido a Tales of Phantasia pero infinitamente mas rápido y dinámico. Los combates aleatorios son MUY numerosos pero los combates son tan rápidos y las recompensas tan buenas que no resulta cansino en ningun momento, Se echan en falta algunos detalles típicos de otros RPG como encontrar objetos por el mapeado o mas misiones secundarias, pero aun asi resulta muy satisfactorio. Muy recomendable.… Expand

    Entertaining little RPG that owes a lot to the Final Fantasy series. Not quite as good as its inspiration but well worth a look to fans of the genre.

    Even the presentation pales in comparison to the likes of Golden Sun and the other handheld RPGs we've grown to love or hate over the years.

    But the fun of Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is feeling that sense of learning alongside the main character. Though we ultimately know he will win the day, he won't do it without us.
