    Swordcraft Story takes away all the daunting tedium and deftly delivers a fun, satisfying adventure enjoyable by both experienced and new players alike.

    Summon Night isn't the best role-playing experience ever created, but it still manages to be a fun time and one that you'll enjoy long after you're done playing it (literally, as there are two main characters to play as and a total of eight different paths through the game).

    All in all, it's the best control I've seen in an action-RPG for a handheld game. I'm serious.

    It's a basic dungeon crawler at heart, but Summon Night: Swordcraft Story has enough fun with the formula to make it worth playing for role-playing fans.

    This game is amazing. It may be short compared to other GBA games but it's different too.

    "An unsung Hero" This game actually was FUN! After going through many RPGs and just games overall that kept me stuck for weeks or forever... I was happy to find a game that challenged me and I had to repeat 3-4 battles but just kept me happy with a good storyline filled with humor and drama. Plus a wide variety of characters. It was overall a great game and should be one of the best action-RPGs of the year.… Expand

    LOVE THIS! It is one of my favorite RPG games, ever!! The characters are adorable and well designed, and the fighting style is awesome! I love any game that let's you decide to be a girl or a boy (girls play games too!!), especially if it suggests girl/girl romance!… Expand
