I got into rpg relatively late. I still remember a buddy telling me about them and taking the example of Summoner as an example. I was so curious I went to the video game store. Summoner 2 at the time had released and I got it. Though it is very action oriented, I really enjoyed it and it has kept a special place in my heart ever since. I'd give a lot to explore it again on pc. Especially since the worldbuilding of it was pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever seen something quite like it.
It's a hidden gem and I hope more people can discover it.
When I first played Summoner 2 I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. I was new to more action-heavy rpgs and really struggled with the mid/late game portions. But I absolutely loved the characters, world, and story. It's such a unique experience that I think about so often and honestly chase the same feelings the mid-game twist gave me. I still own my PS2 copy but would love nothing more than to have a more accessible way to replay it.
This game. A game spanning world upon worlds, while a great story unfolds with twists and turns as time goes by. Skills, gear, and Summons keep you hooked. Combat isn't super deep, but it doesn't have to be, it's a good time. This is a Myth given form (especially knowing the lore of the original Summoner game.) GOG please consider adding this gem.
Summoner 2 is a game that has a really special place in my heart. The original is widely available now but this one is still impossible to find. To this day I haven't found a game that has such a unique and original world with such imagination-inspiring lore. It's hard to put into words but the surreal, dream-like quality of the game and how so much of it is rooted in this idea of dabbling in the realms of the gods gives it this incredible cosmic feeling with a scale few other games can match. Please bring this back!
Great game. I would love to see THQ Nordic give this one a re-release. Not only is it a good follow up to the first Summoner, which is already here on GOG, but it has a lot of cool new characters as well. Maia is a great female protagonist, and her companions are all very fun and colorful. Yago from summoner 1 returns, and the new characters like Sangaril, Prince Neru, and Morbazon all have their own unique personalities and abilities. Morbazon is particularly cool looking. I like the setting of the game quite a bit, it's a unique fantasy setting with original races and cultures like the Munari and Odani which make the game stand out from all the games with D&D, Tolkien, and mythology inspired characters and settings.
This game means a lot to me. I used to play it with a friend that is no longer with us. I usually was the good gamer of the friend group, but for some reason something didn't click for me. My friend on the other hand, was great at it. He was so happy and had the biggest smile on his face when he helped me with a section that i was stuck. I never tried to become better at this game for this reason. Maybe now I will, for him. Miss you buddy.

Valkyria Chronicles RemasteredValkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. A Microsoft Windows version was released on November 11, 2014. A remastered version for PlayStation 4 was released in Japan on February 10, 2016 with a Western release planned for May 2016. Both PC and PS4 versions include previously released DLC.
The game is set in fictional Europa, loosely based on Europe during the early years of World War II. Because of its abundance of Ragnite ore, which takes the place of petroleum in the game setting, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of a unit of the Gallian Militia, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which use Sega's CANVAS graphics engine, resemble pencil drawn paintings in motion.Action Fantasy Warfare Drama

Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra EditionSenjou no Valkyria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles, usually referred to as Valkyria Chronicles III, is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation Portable. It is the third game in the Valkyria Chronicles series and was released on January 27, 2011 exclusively in Japan. An expanded version of the game, subtitled Extra Edition was released in Japan on November 23, 2011. The game features an opening song もしも君が願うのなら (Moshimo Kimi ga Negauno Nara?) sung by Japanese singer May'n.
Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935.[3] Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption. As described by its catchphrase, the game tells "The tale of nameless soldiers who, on the verge of despair, changed history."
The game was the first in the series to not officially be translated into English by Sega. However, an unofficial fan translation for the Extra Edition was eventually released in December 2013.Action Historical Warfare Drama

Valkyria ChroniclesSet in a fictitious continent reminiscent of the 1930s, Valkyria Chronicles depicts Europe divided in two and ruled by two super powers: the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, situated in the middle of the two superpowers territories, in an attempt to secure invaluable natural resources. Within this struggle a hero named Welkin, and his fellow soldiers of the Federation's 7th Platoon, are fighting back against the invasion and the Empires attempts to unify the continent under its power.
During the ensuing war the Federation discovers that the Empire possesses a secret weapon, known as the "Valkyria" - an ancient race with special powers thought to exist only in legends. With this new discovery the fate of the Federation's ability to turn the tide of the war, and the hope for a better future, hang in the balance.
