It's a unique blend between turn-based tactics, roguelikes, strategy, auto battlers and even chess!

Hello friends! Thanks to the awesome feedback and suggestions we got from the demo, we implemented a few major improvements on the game! Prediction SystemA lot of people said the that game was too hard - mostly because it has hard to predict how the enemies would react to your strategy. To solve this problem, we added a prediction system: a system that helps you make your strategy by showing in real-time how the enemies will react to your summons. Check it out!   StoryAnother great addition to the game was its story! It's something that we wanted to do from the very beginning and we're are very happy to have finished it! The first Rogue Summoner was, of course, Aktis Half-Head. The story of how he got that nickname is paramount to understanding what it means to become Rogue. And lastly, there has been several bug fixes and small improvements. One that I'm very happy with is the ability to use the scroll wheel to rotate your monsters. With this implemented, the entire game can be played exclusively with the mouse, making it more accessible! I would love to know what you think about these improvements (and the game in general!). My brother and I will keep on improving the game! We hope you love it! https://gamecraftstudios.itch.io/rogue-summonerCheers! |

New Game Mechanics: Magic Rings, Power RocksHello, friends! We continue to work very hard on Rogue Summoner to improve it continually! We heard great things about the Prediction System we added in an update a few days ago, and today we add two new major game systems! Magic RingsSome of you mentioned that the game could use more kinds of items so we added Magic Rings! They will give you an edge in combat (but are not so easy to get!).  Power RocksScattered throughout the randomly generated dungeons, you may now come across a Power Rock (not to be confused with Power Metal). They will change the dynamic of combat on a certain place in the board: like buffing the monsters, making it more expensive to summon them or nullify the mana gain from the enemies. You will find 16 kinds of Power Rocks on your adventures and each one will make you adapt your strategy!   Thank you to everyone who gave ideas for Rogue Summoner! We think these were great additions to the game and we'd love to hear what you think about it! Any feedback is welcome because we are trying to make Rogue Summoner the best game it can be! Download the Free Demo: https://gamecraftstudios.itch.io/rogue-summonerCheers!

Hello, friends! I bring you another BIG update for Rogue Summoner (and its Demo). Here are some highlights of what you will find now in your adventures:  Destructible CrystalsYou will come across rare crystals in your runs - both ally and enemy. An enemy crystal must be destroyed, while an ally crystal must be protected. If you succeed, you can expect handsome rewards!   New Magic RingsThere are 5 new magic rings in the game - and you can also stack them up! Here is how they look:  Luckily, the summoner is far enough from the camera that we don't have to make him wear 20+ rings...  Constant ImprovementsThere were other fixes and rebalances throughout all dungeons. Thanks to everyone who has been playing and giving their feedback. As you can see, we really appreciate it and are using it to make the game better! You can expect more awesome updates in the following weeks! Thanks! |

Hello folks! Today we have a very special update for you, because we have included some features that have been requested by some players! MinimapNo more needless wondering! You can now see where are you in the current level (as well as which level you are).  BestiaryLearn all about the creatures you will fight against (and with) in your adventures! When you kill a creature 10 times it will show up in your bestiary, so you can reference its behavior whenever you need.  LibraryAfter you collect a book, it will show up in your library. Now can read about Aktis Head-Head, Licos the Double-And-A-Half-Turn, Jairus Out-Of-The-Blue and all the other Rogue Summoners in one go!  What feature would you like to see in Rogue Summoner? We are working very hard to improve the game and we would love to hear what you think about it! Download the Demo here: https://gamecraftstudios.itch.io/rogue-summonerThanks! |

Update #v0.12.0 - New Endless Game Mode!Hello, friend! In this exciting update, we added a new dungeon with a new game mode: True Rogue.  It is an endless adventure with increasing difficulty, where all the previous enemies will show up. Hopefully you had a chance to learn the monsters' behaviors before, because in this dungeon they will combine in surprising ways testing even your best strategies.   This new dungeon is available for everyone who purchased the Early Access on itchio: https://gamecraftstudios.itch.io/rogue-summoner(You can still enjoy the 10% sale at the moment! Or get the FREE DEMO!) I'd love to know how far you managed to get in this dungeon! My current record is 32 levels!! Cheers, Dan Zaidan
