About the Game
Joseph was a simple boy living in the village of Ciran. One day, a mysterious man gave him a magical ring containing the power to summon demons. When Ciran was attacked by raiders, Joseph used the ring, but could not control its power, and the demon devastated the village. Joseph vowed to never use the ring again.
Story & Setting
Summoner is a 3D story-driven role-playing game somewhat influenced by the Japanese variety of the genre, having a linear plot progression and random enemy encounters. You control a party of characters who join the protagonist as dictated by the plot. Another notable element is side quests and skill-based character development.
Gameplay & Core Systems
But things change when soldiers from Orenia, a continent ruled by Emperor Murod, attack the town Joseph has settled in, looking for a boy born with the mark of a Summoner. Combat flows in real time, with players actively controlling only one character. The others can be given general orders regarding their usage of spells, melee or ranged attacks, etc. The controlled character can execute combo chains if players presses a key at the right moment. At some point in the game Joseph gains the ability to summon powerful monsters to help the party in battles.
