-----



Developer Flight Plan has taken the simulation RPG series Summon Night and turned it into an action RPG. You take control of Leon and Eina as they search for their lost memories. Leon makes use of a powerful sword. Eina is better suited for fast movement. You'll switch off between both characters as you work your way through the game. By building your level, you earn new skills which can be equipped to the two. You can also summon beasts to help out in battle.



An action installment of the Summon Knight series. Implements elements from many other series; map roaming like the original Zelda series, 2D sprites with 3D environments like Grandia, and of course, a leveling system like you would find in most RPGs. A somewhat unique feature is the ability to switch between two characters. Unfortunately, certain enemies can only be killed by one, and switching to and from gets a little old. The graphics work. The sprites are exactly what you'd expect from Flight Plan, but the game features a lot of backtracking which wears a little thin.
