Based on the Japanese original, this console-style role-playing game ventures Stateside via Atlus U.S.A. The game features cute, super-deformed characters whose appearance belies a deeper story of troubling times. Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is set in the land of Lyndbaum, which serves as a crossroads to other dimensions. Heroes of Lyndbaum are known to adventure alongside powerful beasts, and players will choose from four available animal companions. The game features overland exploration from a top-down view and real-time side-scrolling combat. As the title hints, crafting is also a significant consideration, and players can collect raw materials to create dozens of different weapons.
