A power too great for mortals to harness, a quest too great to pass upon.

Summoner, a brilliant console-style RPG that starts small and unfolds into an amazingly complex and exciting experience that just keeps on giving, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.79 for the first week.

Summoners have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as saviours and feared as destroyers. With rings crafted by the ancient Khosani, the gifted can call forth demons, dragons, and elementals, but only the strongest can control the forces they unleash. Born with the mark of the Summoner, Joseph possesses a power greater than emperors and gods. As a child, he summoned a demon to save his village, and watched in horror as those he loved were destroyed. Nine years later, the armies of Orenia invade, and Joseph must confront the prophecy he was born to fulfill.

In Summoner, you traverse a beautiful, completely original world spanning two continents. You'll summon up to 16 different creatures, such as minotaurs, golems, dragons, and try to control them in combat. You'll be casting spectacular spells and wield an extensive arsenal of weapons and armor. With the large gameworld to explore, memorable NPCs to meet and befriend, an interesting combat system that adds some extra fun and strategy into battles, and--most importantly--a great story to tell, this 2000 classic game feels a lot like a great jRPGs, but comes in its own anime&grind-free flavor.

Fulfill the prophecy, reach for the ultimate power, and take a shot at vanquishing evil before you become a part of it in Summoner, for only $4.79 on GOG.com. The 20% off special release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, March 4, at 10:59AM GMT.

J_Darnley: Is this the same "Summoner" that was on the PS2 with a sequel?
Yes, it is content and story wise, not too sure about the mechanics between the two systems, though :)

That's what I call a nice relase. :)

Never played this, but I'm always buying a RPG with German language support. Thanks to Nordic Games and hey: Any news about Arcania and Titan Quest? My wallet is ready for those!
Great to see this coming here.
'I'M ATTACKING THE DARKNESS!'

Great game, though the first area sucks. Loved the feel of the world and been waiting for this to come to gog as I have it on disk (PS2 & PC) but have never found a working CD crack for it. Didn't think much of the sequel but I'm pretty sure that never had a pc release, it's also pretty much entirely unrelated to the first game so nobody is missing out.

Of course we don't. If there were a sequel, it woud be released on PC. But if there's no sequel on PC, so there's no sequel on principle. ;)

Given the name of this, i wonder if this game allows the player to summon up hordes of undead. Muahahah.
Oh - I loved that title. Especially the storytelling and the lore - the amount of attention to the detail and how later every story thread, even those which one hasn't attributed any deeper meaning to - neatly tie together to the bigger picture.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in splendor and were suddenly without $4.79. I fear something wondrous has happened.

*Edit*

In hindsight I should have waited and used this for a Star Wars release >_>

Looks quite interesting. I like the emphasis on a good story. Wishlisted.

Yeah, including Titan Quest Gold and Supreme Commander Gold. And Cold War, and Darksiders, and...

Looks interesting but hope the use of the term console-like doesn't represent bad PC controls (forced use of gamepad), QTEs and lack of "save anywhere/save anytime" option
