1What is Summoner:
Summoner is an action role-playing game developed by Volition and published by THQ. It was released as a launch title for the PlayStation 2 in 2000, and was subsequently ported to Microsoft Windows and Mac OS the following year. In the game, the player plays the role of Joseph and can assemble a team of compatriots and summon powerful monsters. The game has a world map, involved storyline, and unique hybrid combat system involving real-time and turn-based mechanisms.
The player takes on the role of Joseph and his party. Joseph is an ordinary peasant farmer who is also born a Summoner who can control the rings of Summoning. Joseph and his companions travel throughout the land to acquire the rings to protect the realm of Medeva from attacks by the tyrannical Emperor Murod of Orenia, who is determined to destroy the Summoner and prevent a prophecy that foretells the end of the Emperor's reign by his hands. The characters must also simultaneously attempt to restore the power of the air god, Urath, and foil the depravations of the disciples of his fire and death goddess nemesis, Laharah.
