About

Summoner, released in 2000, is a notable Action RPG that captivated players with its unique storyline and engaging gameplay mechanics. You play as Joseph, a young boy with the power to summon demons, who must navigate a world filled with danger and prophecy after witnessing the destruction of his village. The game's blend of action and role-playing elements, combined with an intriguing narrative, sets it apart in the genre.

When it comes to PC performance, Summoner is quite accessible, making it an excellent choice for players with varied hardware. The game runs smoothly on entry-level GPUs that score around 300, meaning that even budget-friendly graphics cards can deliver a decent gaming experience. You can expect stable FPS at lower graphics settings, allowing you to enjoy the action without the need for demanding hardware.

With a solid rating of 80/100, Summoner is definitely worth your time, especially if you're a fan of RPGs and engaging stories. The combination of its intriguing plot and approachable gameplay makes it a worthwhile addition to your gaming library, appealing to both casual and dedicated players alike.

Performance profile

Released in October 2000, Summoner predates modern GPU acceleration as we know it today. It runs effortlessly on virtually any current hardware, including integrated graphics and entry-level laptops — framerate is limited by the engine, not the GPU.

RPGs like Summoner stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Summoner runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

A Summoner's inheritance is a power greater than magic. With rings of channeling, Summoners call forth demons and golems, supernatural servants and elemental creatures. Summoners have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as saviors and feared as destroyers. The chosen are born with a mark on one hand, but the origins of this gift were forgotten long ago. Joseph fears his power more than death itself. As a child, Joseph tried to save his village from attackers, but the demon he summoned slaughtered the villagers while Joseph watched in horror, his misguided heroics causing the deaths of those he loved. Exiled and ostracized, Joseph vowed never to summon again. Over the years, the enigmatic Yago counsels and guides the youth, preparing Joseph to fulfil his prophecy. As the invading armies of Orenia march across the Medevan plain, Yago urges Joseph to quest for the ancient rings. Reluctantly, Joseph agrees. On his journey, Joseph meets three young adventurers who become his companions-Flece, Jekhar, and Rosalind. Flece is a cunning thief and cynical rogue who grew up on the streets of Lenele. Jekhar's family perished when Joseph summoned a demon long ago, and now the warrior seeks revenge. Begrudgingly, he helps Joseph on his quest. Rosalind is novice of the Order of Iona and yearns to become a mage-priest and guardian of Iona's divine scrolls. The daughter of Yago, Rosalind is jealous of Joseph's power and hates her father for devoting his life to the Summoner’s cause. Their quest takes them across the world-to the sunken empire of Ikaemos and the rugged wilds of Liangshan, from the stronghold of the Khosani to the Jade River that flows from Heaven. In the ruins of lost civilizations and the temples of Orenia, they search for the Summoners' rings.
