The sound still utilizes 8-bit compositions when the GBA is capable of far more, the game’s music is still appealing and its not obnoxious and sometimes its even appropriate (And I’m all for 8bit sound, but at least it also comes with a few bells and whistles). Perhaps the lowest point of this game, even for a game made in 2003. The game also has stat customization, in which ATK, DEF, and AGI are the only stats, its not much but it does create a more personal aura to the character instead of just the name. You also have a form of familiar called a “Guardian Beast”, who is basically a supportive spellcaster of sorts that can assist you in battle (also the closest of what counts as “magic” in this game) but they’re only mostly good for buffing you instead of using that awesome screen clearing move they get when they’re high of a level enough. The beasiary kind of lacks variety in design and you DO face off against a different colored stronger enemy, but most of the time they do have new attacks you haven’t faced before so there is at least some change of pace involved. Drills are a special type of weapon, more technically balanced than swords since they have one of the best attacks in the game (Drill Charge), they can do one hit with decent damage (axe), leave the user immobile while dealing dps (faced forward or up) but their durability is chaotic between drills, and they’re hard to use but mastery can make easily make them THE best dps weapons in the game. Knuckles are one of the fastest weapons in the game, their normal attack is 4 rapid punches and you can even chain an uppercut against enemies to stun them (some are resistant or immune to it though), but they’re incredibly fragile and not finishing their basic attack can leave them stunned for half a second. Axes deal a lot of damage in one hit and has a lot of durability for blocking, but have a slow hit recovery which leaves you vulnerable to attack, Spears are as slow to attack as axes directly, you can attack in longer ranges, and can even do a spinning attack when the enemy is too close, but the normal attack can overshoot the enemy when you’re too close.

this game boasts 5 different weapon types for you to use Swords are balanced, they have a fast attack rating and quick hit recovery so you can still remain defensive.
And you know what? I personally couldn’t get ENOUGH random encounters when I grind, since I actually learn more and more about the enemy’s patterns.
#SUMMON NIGHT SWORDCRAFT STORY ROM MOD SERIES#
Something like the tales series but faster paced. The red meat of the game combat takes place in a side scroller…in an RPG. On the other hand, the battle sprites look awesome!! That’s because the game’s combat is a real time side scroller (more on that later), and the supposedly dungeon background and foreground looks pretty as well. But the characters sprites have been given considerable effort (they even turn their heads) and their all very colorful so they are definitely the #1 cause of me not minding about the overworld much. You do travel into different locations (And even fight their local creatures there) but your main hub is that one town you’ll spend most of your time with. In fact, the graphics are actually appropriate since its a town that constantly gets submerged after the next couple of years…AINT NOBODY GOT TIME TO MAKE IT PRE-And also the main part of the game has you exploring dungeons so that’s not exactly something I’d call visually appealing, but it does feel foreboding giving a sense of isolation and scale that I seriously can’t explain properly (I may be exaggerating on that last part though). But in practice, it actually doesn’t bother me. It uses a lot of the same sprites on its architecture and the color palette is all brownish gray with a bit of pink. Well…to be honest, the game’s graphics on paper look bland. And its published by ATLUS, so you can’t go wrong with that……except for Virtual Hydlide ofc… GRAPHICS:
It has a captivating story…Swordcraft Story :b and its combat is definitely one of the most fun I personally have in an RPG. Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is an awesome game and definitely a hidden gem for the GBA. Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is a Action RPG video game published by Atlus released on July 26th, 2006 for the GBA.ĬRC-32: 3ea860c2 Review by Switchblade1080:
