Reviews for Summoners War

I wrote a review months ago talking about how the summoning rates suck- I still feel that way. I had about 70 mystical scrolls and in 30 maybe got 7 nat4 mons. So the rates suck and due to this, progression in the game is slow, unless you spend money (which I won't). Besides slow progression and frustrating summoning rates, it's a good game with awesome game play!! And the events at least can be very rewarding! It's definitely worth checking out and putting some time into, just be prepared for some aggravation when you can't summon more than ~25 of the same 3* mons :)

The game is okay, but there are a ton of these types of games available, with more clones being released every month. After you have played one, they all seem so similar. Build your team, grind and grind to get as far as you can, and eventually hit a pay wall to advance. It would be more fun, but these games always require excessive amounts of time watching your team auto fight and after one of these games it just gets boring.

Summoners war is probably the best mobile game I've ever played. It is very "free player" friendly game. Lot's and lot's of ways to earn crystals, unlike most mobile games. For example, the only possible way to acquire "premium currency" requires you to download and play other games. Summoning rate of 4-5* monsters are also great, it just takes patience like any other RPG your console can play. To top it off, management is great. They really take time to review and fix issues and/or concerns.

The game is not really pay to win. It have some depth in strategy. Slowly and steady you will learn and manage to have some decent team to run through contents. But then after a few months, you start to see the reality. There are thousands of players who are a few years ahead of you in term of progress. If you want to catch up, you will have to grind days and nights for months or years. It cost me tons of time, money and focus to invest in this game. I feel better to give up this burden.

I have approximately 2,200 days into this game,I've played off and on over the years. The updates have truly made the game so much fun. The ones that complain about spending money and getting nothing clearly didn't understand what they were spending their money on in the first place. Monsters you summon are random, so when you buy scrolls and things to craft runes, the quality of them is NOT guaranteed. Game is a ton of fun. Give it a try. Spending is not required to enjoy, just time invested.

To grind everything you need (runes, rune enhancements, evolution material, levels, etc.), you need a lot of time, more time, and then additional time on top of that. Also the drop rates for a good monsters is abysmal... I played for 3 months on a daily basis, got a few good monsters, but after only getting one 5 star monster after about 150 rolls (takes time to earn these rolls too...), I've had enough. Content is too limited and catching up is impossible with the level of grinding needed.

For those who are bored with their other turn based rpgs, summoners war is a good option IF you have the space for it: it currently sits at 3.9gb on my device, though i do understand it is a large game with a lot packed into it. its a bit difficult to begin, with the tedious beginning, but once you get into it, its more fun, but dont waste your money on it. events happen a lot, so as long as you save your crystals, you dont need to make any purchases. trust me, not worth the cash.

Some of the worst RNG you'll ever experience. You can summon 150 times in a row and not get one 5*. I've summoned 40 times in a row and didn't get one 4*. Game is designed to screw you so you'll buy, but the prices are ridiculious with the average pack being $100...seriously. Play raid shadow, it's basically the same with better graphics. I would but I'm 9 years invested into this game that is slowly turning into a waste of space on my phone.

Graphically the game is great. The gameplay isn't complicated, and the monsters are great. Post honeymoon phase it sucks. There are 5 elements in game and depending on which one your monster is dictates it's skill and viability. So regardless if you like the monster you get, if it's not the _RIGHT_ color, it sucks. What is good though is the events and all the FREE scrolls you get for just logging in. Imo, that totally justifies the pull rates. Had no problem with that whatsoever.

Huge time sink, but pretty fun. Lately, they've put in a lot more popup micro transactions that interrupt play, and it's very annoying. Leave a dungeon, close the micro transaction, confirm that I don't want the special deal, try to return to the main island, close a micro transaction, all under 30 seconds apart, then repeat on every login and/or time interval. It makes me want to play a lot less when I have to keep closing microtransaction offers. Boo.
