Great old school story-rpg. If you can get past the graphics and lack of some mechanics, you will get great combat, music, atmosphere and a decent story. I replayed this game 3 times in the last decade. Always fun. Just remember to chain your attacks or the game will get difficult and long.

Summoner. It's one of my favourites, but I have to admit, a flawed gem in many ways. Basically completely linear, with some optional side-quests. Clunky mechanics which are a bit slow, but the UI is clean and works well, at least. The choice of equipment is quite limited with most of the variety based on which magic and special abilities you decide to use. As an early 3D game, there are steps to make it run stable: it uses the glide api, so you will need a glide wrapper which translates to D3D. I found one called 'nGlide' that is simple to configure and works well. Now to the strengths. The world-building is very immersive and feels deep even if that depth is an illusion. The soundtrack is a banger, and helps to create a gritty medieval fantasy atmosphere (incorporating pulsating electronic synths, I don't know how that works, but it does). The story stays engaging to the end and there are several epic moments of gameplay; sneaking through the palace as Fleece, fighting essentially the four horsemen of the apocalypse (in sequence, then in pairs, finally all together) , exploring labyrinthine crypts, sewers, caverns, and a moment of great betrayal to rival any in gaming... I'm not sure that I could recommend Summoner to those without nostalgia for it and who may have more modern gaming tastes, but if you can deal with a bit of setup configuration and the aforementioned flaws, there is a unique world to spend some time in here. note: I played more on the GoG version (seems to be the same as steam) and the original PS2 release.

Maybe it's because the original game came at a good time in my life, but I've always loved it. The world building, the voice acting, the graphics, not bad for one of the PS2's first releases...I find myself wishing the franchise could have continued past S2. Wasn't perfect, of course...many missable items, chain system is a bit weird...but those are small gripes when you consider all the great aspects. 10/10 glad I played again.

Played this in early 2000s on ps2. Loved it. Still love it although I wish they would have made this PC version Controller Compatible. Havent tried any of the many MODS for it yet but some look cool.

Sept. 2025

I was one of the first players back when this game came out on Playstation 2. I was there at launch day and got a copy. I still have that old memory card with over 2000 hours of gaming. This is the exact same as it was then. just cleaner game-play. no skipping when the playstation got hot XD. Graphics are still clean, and the mechanics are easy enough to understand. you can grind and grind against all the enemies for hours and level up as high as you want. There are hundreds of random side quests with interesting rewards. Some of which are insane. A sword made of glass that deals so much damage, and does bonus damage against undead or mutated creatures. A suit of armor that can absorb magic thrown at you and heal you or replinish your own magic.
