About Rize of the Summonds
Rize of the Summonds is a metroidvania game, in which player has the power to transform into legendary Summons along their journey in the Kingdom of Elaria. Use the transformations of the fearless Dragon, stealthy Wraith, heavy Orc, agile Cat and many more; each equipped with unique abilities in order to traverse new areas, defeat enemies, complete challenges, avoid traps and solve puzzles.
With the intricate designs of paths, levels, obstacles and battles, players are challenged to transform strategically including managing weapon, spell counts/aummunition. Puzzle elements includes traversing while simultaneously transforming in order to reach greater heights, being immune to certain traps, gaining extra speed, adding or subtracting weight to specific platforms, activating heavy pressure plates to unlock iron bar doors, and much more. Inspiration arose from similar Metroidvania games: Castlevania – Symphony of the Night, Outland, Dust: An Elysian Tail, as well as Salt and Sanctuary.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's clever transformation mechanics and the satisfaction of discovering summon abilities through experimentation, with potential for future development. However, the difficulty curve is steep, with the first opponent being too challenging for new players and making the early learning experience frustrating rather than welcoming.
Just look at the trailer and screenshots again and consider that my review. Best five bucks I ever refunded!8 found this helpful
Clever transformation mechanic and I see true potential in this game. I liked that you allow the player to discover the significance of each summons ability on our own, resulting into satisfaction when we figure it out. This is a good first game coming from this team, and looking forward to more content. I do recommend for the first opponent to not be as difficult as he is now. Eventually I figured out his pattern, but the first few rooms should be easy to prepare the player for the challenge that lies ahead. I recommend others to play and see the potential. There's definitely something good here. Thumbs up from me.2 found this helpful
