As mentioned above, each of the four travelers have unique strengths, so taking advantage of them during combat is a must. The fighting is turn based and in real time, with the latter possible via well-timed chained attacks. Plus, the player has the option to pause the action to rethink a strategy, if so desired. The enemy AI is good, but not great, though there were a few tough bosses in the game. Visually, Summoner is a mixed bag.
Players can also expect serious eye candy when conjuring up creatures.
Other beefs include queer oddities, such as horizontal flashes of light and the occasional floating object. There is a patch available that may remedy some of these graphical glitches. One of Summoner 's biggest downfalls is its camerawork. Also, some of the dialogue is cheesy. It's quite easy to host or join a game, and it plays smoothly.
