A power too great for mortals to harness, a quest too great to pass upon.

Summoner, a brilliant console-style RPG that starts small and unfolds into an amazingly complex and exciting experience that just keeps on giving, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.79 for the first week.

Summoners have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as saviours and feared as destroyers. With rings crafted by the ancient Khosani, the gifted can call forth demons, dragons, and elementals, but only the strongest can control the forces they unleash. Born with the mark of the Summoner, Joseph possesses a power greater than emperors and gods. As a child, he summoned a demon to save his village, and watched in horror as those he loved were destroyed. Nine years later, the armies of Orenia invade, and Joseph must confront the prophecy he was born to fulfill.

In Summoner, you traverse a beautiful, completely original world spanning two continents. You'll summon up to 16 different creatures, such as minotaurs, golems, dragons, and try to control them in combat. You'll be casting spectacular spells and wield an extensive arsenal of weapons and armor. With the large gameworld to explore, memorable NPCs to meet and befriend, an interesting combat system that adds some extra fun and strategy into battles, and--most importantly--a great story to tell, this 2000 classic game feels a lot like a great jRPGs, but comes in its own anime&grind-free flavor.

Fulfill the prophecy, reach for the ultimate power, and take a shot at vanquishing evil before you become a part of it in Summoner, for only $4.79 on GOG.com. The 20% off special release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, March 4, at 10:59AM GMT.

Nice to see another great title show up here! The PS2 one was a bit of a slog due to framerate issues, might try it here...

Impaler26: I was looking forward to buy Summoner from GOG but as i won't buy any games here until i've seen how you handle the forthcoming regional pricing i'll pass.
I already have it on a magazine CD so it's no loss for me anyway. :)
my feeling was I better get it now just incase the price gets jacked up (beyond the the regular price) later.
I played it years ago and that was great adventure!
Really good sondtrack,
And story twist. or two, maybe even three or four.

Pity that sequel is console exclusive.
*stares*
I was somehow completely sure that this game was on GOG already... Strange...
I never knew there was a PC version!

I played and enjoyed it on the PS2 until bugs made it impossible to advance in the game.

The reason the pictures look so retro is that the game was started for the playstation, then quickly adapted for the new PS2. so it looks a lot like a ps1 game.

big maps, lot of sidequests. interesting combat.
Hmm, given the middling reviews I might wait to see about picking this up if another promo strikes my fancy.

Oh GOD, I can't even begin to imagine how this game would have run on the PS1. 0_0

If it would run like discworld noir, terrible.
I have the incredibly rare Mac port of this game (which sadly never got an OS X patch), so it's nice to see this game back again. The game works in WINE for anyone interested, but you need to use a Glide wrapper to play, as it sputters and dies when you try to use DirectX.

Geez, when was the last time somebody actually complained about that, lol.
...aand bought! :)
Own it on disc already, nice to see it here though.
Oh... my God, I was addicted to this game back in the day, and was one of the few games I use to play that inspired me to make my own games. Bought it in less than a heartbeat.
I've got Summoner 2 on PS2, and honestly I couldn't figure out what I was suppose to do. More distracting was some cut-scenes had mouths that moved and some that didn't making it feel unfinished and unprofessional. Not sure about the first game...

Hmmm I'll probably get this later, but no promises on it.

ThomNG: As promised Summoner has been summoned (smiling on this GREAT word joke! I am a genious). Have fun with this great new release on GOG.com

Greetings from the Nordic Games office!
Thank you for another good game!
