Topic: Summon Night Games

Has anyone here heard of or play the Summon Night Games?

I only played the GBA games. They were really good, though, especially the second.

I played summon night swordcraft on GBA but I understand that's different from the mainline summon night games

Probably not too many have.
There was one on DS, but most were Japanese-exclusive.

Actually, speaking of Summon Night, there was a third Swordcraft Story game called Summon Night Craft Sword Monogatari: Hajimari no Ishi, which was never translated. However, some guys on GBATemp.com seem to be making significant progress on the translation - they have most of the text and script translated, they just need help with coding so they can insert the text into the game. They do have someone already on it, but it's a lot of work for one person. If they can get the help, chances are by this time next year it'll be complete.

Only played Swordcraft 1 & 2. It was really fun, I like how you get to chose your own guardian (I always picked the heroine and a female guardian ) and spend time with them in night (if you want), forging for better weapons, customize yours and your partners special attacks and magic, and the multiple endings it has depending on who you with and the decisions you make throughout the entire game giving it a ton of replay valve. I saw the DS one in a store not that long ago.

I've seen a bit of 4 & 5 and the gameplay has more of "FF Tactics" feel to it, not to mention you get to have multiple allies in your party this time around.

The DS one, Twin Age, was pretty bad iirc...

Hmmm. Some people I know said it was average at best. If it's cheap I'll pick it up.

Good luck with that. The price has been climbing rapidly. It's becoming quite rare. If it is cheap and its complete, it might be worth grabbing just to make a profit. Might want to hurry before people come to their senses, though...
