Summoner 2
Description official descriptions
In the previous game the summoner Joseph became the god Urath, reborn by uniting the eight rings of summoning. Joseph’s culture hated the goddess Laharah and called her the “goddess of death.”
This sequel takes place twenty years later in the realms of Halassar, Galdyr and Munari City which are across the world. You play Maia, who is the incarnate of the goddess Laharah and the powerful Queen of the realm of Halassar. Unlike Joseph’s kinship, Maia’s people worship Laharah as a benevolent creator. Maia was born with the mark of prophecy, her fate being written in the Book of Prophecy. From the beginning, she has welcomed her destiny and knows that she must fulfill the prophecy. What is unknown to her is the path she must follow to do so.
Summoner 2 abandons the combo-based real-time combat of the predecessor and is more action-oriented, with the player directly controlling the physical attacks of the main character. Instead of summoning creatures to fight side-by-side with Maia, she actually becomes the demon when it is summoned. Three characters can be part of Maia’s party at one time and AI scripts can be assigned to each. Different characters are introduced as the story progresses and Maia’s skills improve. It is also possible to choose to adventure in “solo-mode”, leaving the party members behind to go on alone.

Summoner 2 is a great improvement on the first Summoner
The Good
This game has a great storyline, which is constantly changing perspective. Also this game has multiple quests which add more to the regular storyline. Unlike the first Summoner, this game has a action based battle system. Which has made the game a huge improvment. The weapons of this game seem to be endless. It has a multitude of weapons to choose from. Ranging from swords, axes, hammers, all the way to crossbows and energy weapons. I believe one of Summoners best attributes is its leveling up system. It allows you to customize your character to your specific liking. And of course the best thing about Summoner is the summoning. With a total of 12 summons, you choose from the blood, sand, tree, and eye summons, which can advance to three different levels.
The Bad
This game has some very hard spots, which seem can't be beaten. But if a game didn't have those it wouldn't be as fun to play.
The Bottom Line
This game is a very good action-based RPG which I think many gamers can enjoy.

Trivia
If you keep the Flaming Cutlass you get from the Pirate Captain, you can use it to unlock an easter-egg. When in the Tome of the Nhuvasarim, stand in front of a statue that resembles Luminar(from the original summoner) and attack it.
