    Why call it summoner? Most of the time you wont summon because you dont want to put up with the nasty draw backs such as loss of hit points and a permanent loss of hp if it dies. You take the role of the reluctant hero with the cures that turns to a blessing. You go through different quests and become more powerful as you progress.

Most of the time you wont summon because you dont want to put up with the nasty draw backs such as loss of hit points and a permanent loss of hp if it dies. You take the role of the reluctant hero with the cures that turns to a blessing. You go through different quests and become more powerful as you progress. But the game is surprisingly linear, you can never be evil. You will find the combat system dull and slow with the occasional tape of the button. But your characters start to look cool later when you equip good armor. Your party consist's of a basic group of people fighter, thief, wizard, and the balance one Joseph. They all have a chronic disease of ugly hands and small heads. You will go through the game and realize that the plot twists are acually quite expected and quickly become bored of it. But for the first time you play you will have a bit of fun. This game has about as much replay value as monopoly and you will probaly only play it once a month.… Expand

    An extremely ambitious game, but it misses the mark due to unoriginality and subpar presentation.

    It is a huge game with a fairly engrossing story, but thanks in part to a few design flaws, it's hard to keep playing all the way to the end.

    While a bit short of greatness, Summoner is an admirable role-playing game experience that is more than one could have ever really hoped for in an RPG that's available at a new system's launch.
