Summonsters

I don't hate it but... it's pretty rough. I love pet build games, so I was all in when I saw a Vampire Survivors-like based on summons. I didn't pay attention to the game description, it's sort of halfway between that and a merge game. My problem isn't with what the game is so much as how it plays. As others have stated, there's only one map, not a lot of enemy variety, the meta progression unfeasibly valued, and the difficulty spike is pretty insane. I felt like I got extremely powerful pulls on my run that got me through beginner and I only felt like I was kind of keeping up. That's fine. The second difficulty is literally "Enemies continue to gain higher max health as the run continues". I think I made it like nine minutes before it became a press of bodies I couldn't break through. They couldn't kill my summons but we couldn't kill them and they crushed in so hard they killed me through the "defensive" line. On that note, the game will throw a big "SUMMONS CAN'T ATTACK IF YOU RUN SO USE THEM AS A WALL BETWEEN YOU AND THE ENEMY" when you fight the first elite. This seems unimplemented, as the elites will brush past your your summons like they don't exist in order to chase you. …

it was a pretty fun game though I do wish the summoner could do a bit more on there own, like having there own specific upgrade tree, allowing them to better survive the later stages otherwise it all just seems like random chance wether you live or die. Regardless I give this game a 3 outta 5 Crabs XD

Game gimmick is simple: vampire survivors but instead of waiting for the level up, you can constantly buy and upgrade your minions (which are the source of defense and offense in this game). This game doesn't aspire to be the greatest that ever was, but it's just ... boring and shallow.

Insanely fun game. Perfectly tickles that itch to be a summoner

This is one of the funnest games in the genre, and vary challenging, worth ten times s much, get it!!!!

The game is okay, especially for the price. Yes, it could use more levels and yes its hard as hell (I'm still playing in stage 0 most of the time so I can chill more) but the rest seems solid. A few things that are annoying: - There is no good way to increase income properly. There is an upgrade that triples the price for summons (for some nice tradeoffs) which can be stacked, but its really hard to keep up with money. So its quite easy to get yourself into a situation where you need 800+ to buy a summon, but have to fight monsters for minutes until you have enough. This can basically kill a run if you don't know about it, so it would be nice to have a better way to increase earnings. - The game seems to have some way of telling if an elite is "too strong" and it shows you a warning on screen. Many times those elites can still be killed with proper movement and luck, so if you have a few speed upgrades you often ignore the warning and go for it. - Also related to elites: They sometimes speed up quite fast to catch up to the player. It feels like the game punishes you for trying to challenge stronger foes and outmanuvering them. You kinda need to guide the enemy through your own …
