Summon Mate – Roleplaying Game Review
Summon Mate is a Roleplaying game from Yutaka Aoki, first launched in 11th July 2016.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 73+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Summon Mate Stand Out
You are a monster summoner contracted with a dragon.
Travel the world to collect the stronger monsters and defeat the true enemies that threaten peace.
Let's win the battle and increase the types of monsters that can be summoned.
In a certain town you can also summon rare monsters by combining monsters with each other.
You can make dungeons using your monster and items.
You can also play dungeons made by other users and get items.
Even after clearing of game
the place where you can go will increase and PvP is released.
Rival summoners appear in various places after the monster map has been completed.
It is possible to play all without charge, no internet connection required.
- Internet connection is necessary to use PvP battles and net save etc.
Tips:
Let's talk to people in the town and the castle at first.
Let's collect fellow monsters and raise the level around the town before aiming for the first dungeon.
-
Monsters that are easy to appear depending on the terrain may be different.
Let's equip to monsters, not players.
Let's report to the castle after clearing the dungeon. A new way can be opened. -
We recommend that you save to the net from time to time in case you have lost the local save data.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Very happy to find a good rpg worth playing.
This game is good, love it. Great job.
Really enjoying the game. We like the style and the map feature, etc. Keep up the great work.
Nothing with graphics this simple should hold our attention this long, but here we are. Capture monsters, combine them to make new and unique monsters, and combine those to make more new and unique monsters, then combine thoseyou get the idea. For example Dragon -> Zombie Dragon -> Floating Zombie Dragon Head -> Flaming Floating Zombie Dragon Head. Theres almost zero plot but the capture/combine game isvery strong.
It's a little rough around the edges but if you can ignore that its a great retro game.
Just had a similar experience to another reviewer: started the game up and got a notification that Summon Mate pasted from the clipboard. Im not really seeing a reason for the game to be doing except as a way to attempt to steal any info the player might have copied to the clipboard.
This game is a great game in the vein of Final Fantasy 1. However, it is pasting clipboard data regularly. This is a great way to steal very personal information (photos, passwords, pins, urls, whatever you copy from anywhere). If this is a mistake, please fix it since it's a major bug. If not, we assume this is your way of making money. We're deleting this app until further notice.
About 5 Hours in and all we can say is positive, bosses are balanced, enemies are fair enough, And the game is overall fun. Good Job Devs.
Incredibly fun game just wish it was a little longer. We binged through it too quickly. But a great game and that one guy who gave bad review saying he cant contract any monsters is an idiot. Beat any monster a few times and theyre almost guaranteed to join. We hope for a sequel or update. Too fun and too short lived lol.
Any other retro JRPG players reading this absolutely download. Best part is it is free.
Truly worth seeing through to the end. Its a great blast to the past (whether or not you were a part of the past where these were popular.) to games such as Earthbound, og Final Fantasy games, Pokemon, with it still maintaining its originality and modern game functions such as fusion and upcoming pvp without butchering it or over-modernizing anything. With barely any ads too btw, as they only appear sometimes when you save at a tavern which you rarely ever need to. Drop rates are kind, and the mapping isnt bad at all. And dont listen to the bad reviews so far, there is nothing wrong with the difficulty being too easy, since you can select normal-to-harder difficulties anyway. They just dont read. Really goes to show how good something can be without rts fps graphics with doom fx and fnaf-esk lore. Really looking forward to seeing how this game develops! (P.S, we rarely ever write reviews, but we figured that if any game deserves some kind of written recognition, its this one. So you go devs! ^-^).
Really fun game, simple premise with a lot of depth in monster mixing. Combat is fast and smooth, and the game has a lot of content.
Has everything from your starter dragon to needing to grind a few levels and stocking up in supplies before venturing on your quest! Pretty lit! Keep up the good work.
This game truly has everything an RPG needs! We love the grind we love having to hunt and search and find all the monsters. We love how challenging the boss fights actually are and how simple the game is to learn but we have one complaint. Some items are really hard to find and some directions are not easy to follow. Where is the Satori book!? This is the last item we need to complete the book 100% and we have searched everywhere. Update! Within a few days the Devs got back to us on the location of Satori book. We realized now we were simply missing the key of next to unlock that dungeon! We found it and we are very impressed with their customer service if we could we would rate this game and company more than 5 stars.
So we got an orc, slime and axe goblin to form a contract on the first battle with them. We sailed through the game with this group because NO OTHER MONSTER WOULD JOIN. The contract rates are jacked up and game is too easy if we can run through the game with guys we got around the starting village. We farmed mobs for hours, no one else joined our party.
