    A good clean fun, no nonsense, SRPG.

    Summon Night 5 is an SRPG that needs to be played by anyone who likes the genre. It’s a love letter to fans of a somewhat bygone era of Japanese roleplaying games and manages to deliver on nearly all fronts, be it story, characterization, gameplay or presentation.

    While Summon Night 5 might be a novelty by being playable on a deader than dead system, it only gets a halfhearted recommendation from me.

    While not all that unique or different, it is still an experience that strategy RPG fans will appreciate – localisation issues and all.

    Summon Night 5 is a very enjoyable experience. Even if the story segments can be tedious, I still found myself playing for hours on end. If you have an old PSP, or better yet, a Vita hanging around, you should consider giving Summon Night 5 a try.

    I didn't think I would like this at first but the game soon grabbed me and pulled me into a wonderful story and well thought out characters.

    A laidback RPG that is geared more towards the visual novel crowd. It has a charming group of characters trying to save the world, and a story that can pull on the heartstrings. Tedious combat design severely hampers the pacing of an otherwise fine story, and a lack of exploration and side-quests reduces the want of additional playthroughs.

    If you like lots of narrative, colorful enemies and animations with SRPG with its own twist, I would recommend this game.

    Your partner varies on what choice you make from the start of the game, so its now always the Robot you see on the main portrait!
    Game also has a fire emblem fates dating system in it somewhat, so go ahead and look into that!
    FOR A PSP GAME, it does look pretty AMAZING!
    I wish there was a valid PS Vita version, but PSP version is all we get.
    Fights can be long but also rewarding, level up that waifu my friends :)    … Full Review »
