Video Game Reviews of Summon Night: Twin Age
Customer Review: It's a Charmer!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just can't deny Summon Night: Twin Age's charm. The game is easy to grasp and, although, it might not be the most innovative storyline, there's no denying it's fun filled.
Summon Night: Twin Age features two main characters Reiha and Aldo, who you choose to play is entirely up to you. Reiha is a summoner and Aldo is a summon beast. The two came into each other's lives years ago after an unfortunate accident happened during a summoning experiment. Reiha managed to survive, as did Aldo, who was pulled into her world. Reiha and Aldo are all each other have and very much have a brother/sister relationship. When the game begins the spirits are going out of control and from that point on you are on a quest to stop the madness.
Summon Night: Twin Age does a good job at incorporating the stylus into gameplay. It's an action based RPG, and you use the stylus to move, use magic, and attack enemies. The battle field can seem a little overwhelming at times, as there is a lot going on at once, but the game does a good job at keeping you on your toes. The mechanics are relatively simple and easy to pick up as well. Your supporting characters also have the ability to come back to life after a certain period of time elapses in battle. This is nice as there is no need to perform revival spells, but it's still not easy to completely survive without them. The only other difficult part is that your AI characters aren't exactly the sharpest. They will attack when they have a sliver of life left and most of the time you have to baby sit them. You can't entirely depend on them, which is another hardship to overcome. However, I feel Summon Night: Twin Age offers just the right amount of challenge without becoming too frustrating.
I'll give this game credit as you could definitely replay it. After each chapter you are able to speak with different characters and discover their perspective on the situation at hand. These conversations also will determine the ending. There are also multiple endings to discover depending on who you get to know.
Now there is a lot of good and enjoyment to be had with Summon Night Twin Age, however, the game does have some areas it could have improved on. The biggest downfalls are the lack of an entirely engaging story and it can be repetitive and particularly linear. There are little side quests to do, but they seemed tacked on rather than adding anything significant to the story. But, I'd like to note that for all these shortcomings, the characters more than make up for it. They will instantly charm you and provide the motivation needed to complete this game to the end.
Description of Summon Night: Twin Age
Call forth the powers of the Spirits in Summon Night Twin Age for Nintendo DS. This is called Summoning and it also brings creatures from other worlds into this one. The stylus is your key to the world of Clardona, whether as your swinging sword or your shimmering wall of fire. From a very young age, the human girl Reiha displayed great aptitude for the magical art of Summoning. While still a child, her powers caused a terrible accident during a major Summoning experiment. It was reported that Reiha had died as a result, but she survived along with a young Summon Beast named Aldo that had been pulled into her world. One day, the Spirits began to go wild for no apparent reason, causing the seas to become unpredictable, the plants to wither, and the animals to become violent, threatening the Kascuza on the island. The two decided to return to the human lands to try to find the cause of the Spirits' behavior, and to bring peace back to their once-happy lives.Richly woven tale of adventure
