This game has been great so far I have a account that I started first I spent some money nothing good beat story and was hard to progress locked at like 150k power. Then I made new acc f2p. I utilized fire fairy, water Garuda, and wind pixie. In the 7 day login they give these units. They are easily summoned also the monster story gives some dupes for awakening. They surpassed my team of nat 5s on a paid acc. I finished story with 0 trouble or lost battles. Furthermore I saved a lot more resources only focusing three stars and ended with 204k power. So this game is definitely f2p friendly if you manage your resources and build teams with at least two of the above mentioned units wind pixie water Garuda and some damage dealer. It’s just so much easier with the new awakening feature to focus nat 3s and you can easily with summoning other attributes of the same monster fully skill them and evolve them. Also they give some monsters in the little side monster quests and they want you to level up a couple and give you some resources to do so.I then created a third acc and summoned 6 nat 5s so reroll your accs start as a guest and delete it after you change your name with the ticket in your inventory if you want to keep same name. Summoning several nat 5s is doable I even made another couple and off first ten scrolls got one then the guaranteed summons gives you a second. Nat 5s will not be viable till several months into the game when individuals have the devilmons to fully skill so follow Serena’s guides truly!

All of those other reviews complaining about paywalls have NO idea what they’re talking about. the only thing you need money to pay for in this game is monster aesthetics! everything else is obtainable without paying! you need a little patience, but i love that they even have a system in place to more easily get the 5 stars you want for upgrading your current ones! they have events come around all the time that just gives away a 5* AND you can get multiple copies of it!! Didn’t get enough copies? that’s fine! summoning blessing has your back! i stopped playing the old game because of how difficult it was to get the 5* characters, but there are literal permanent quests that you can do, and you can even get a Dark 5*! The quests are not difficult at all, all you have to do is upgrade a monster with materials that THEY GIVE TO YOU DURING THE QUEST!!Do you sometimes have to be strategic with your resources? YES, that’s the whole point of the game!! But I love the game because all of the resources are at your fingertips, you just have to prioritize what you want to do first!!Good luck and have fun summoners 🖤

As an old SW player, I was excited about this one, and at first, it did a really good job. Plenty of idle vs manual tasks, events and quests... until it started to bog itself down. There's so much to do in a single day you can't complete it all unless you spend over 4h on it. (I've been home sick, I timed it.) Then theres the graphics/ground clutter, where you need to see the abilities to know what's happening, but there are so many colors and shapes and no reaction time allowed it's a kaleidoscope of damage that leaves you dizzy. Let me re-emphasise those two: colors and reaction time. If you have any color definition or color blindness issues, don't bother with this game, there is 0 support for you and everything is so zoomed out it wouldn't matter if they added it, because even with highlights you lose yourself on the screen most times. Reaction time? Forget it, they'll start pitting you against 6s boss mechanics (if you're lucky) and trap you there until you give up to do some side quest or spend a bunch of resources overleveling past the mechanic. Why is 6s such an issue? Besides those who aren't in full control of their physical facilities, the game itself conspires against you, holding your character in place while you use an ability or adding stun/freeze/web mechanics to make you useless (despite you being the only one who reacts to mechanics within your summoned team). So, in a word, this game is FRUSTRATING. I'm going to give them a little time to calm down, but might have to leave it anyway.

I really want to like this game but, there’s a ton a small over sights that make it so frustrating examples they buffed monsters but didn’t look into any of the spirals that got really had examples floor 97 and floor 120 both monsters got buffed recently from them making the levels EXTREMELY HARD and it just becomes a slog unless you’re a whale and while I understand this is a gatcha game there’s so many other problems that aren’t reliant on getting good character rolls (I have argen, Bastet, and Ariel basically maxed) like provoking going significantly further than the actual indicator and buffs don’t have a timer set in them like other games do so you’re stuck guessing when to use spells because oh no they shielded right before because you have absolutely no idea what the cool downs are for the enemies like in regular summoners war. I’ve currently been playing for about a month or two but it’s become more and more of a slog like when you have the watch all the unskippable cutscenes on every single character (which has gotten me killed on multiple occasions because monsters can hurt you in a cutscene which I thought is a MASSIVELY laughable oversight) to the point where I’m only logging on because I have daily’s Cairo and path of growth and log off because it’s becoming well a slog. Please please fix these small issues and this game will have a huge life but if you keep choosing to ignore these small issues they will pile up and drive away players
