Summoners War

What it is

Summoners War is a turn-based strategy RPG published by Com2uS. It first appeared on Google Play on June 2, 2014, and it was last updated on October 26, 2026. It is free to download and rated Teen.

The core loop is collecting monsters and building teams. The listing counts more than 1,000 of them, split across five elements: fire, water, wind, light and dark. Each one has its own skills, so team choice matters.

What it does well

Build depth is the main selling point. The listing mentions 23 rune sets, each with its own effect, plus a newer equipment type called Relics. A summon system with accumulating Mileage points is described as guaranteeing a 5-star monster by default.

There is also a lot to do beyond the main story. The description lists three-player real-time raids, a Dimension Hole, a labyrinth, giant slime hunts with guildmates and guild PvP. On the competitive side it names Pick and Ban duels, Challenge Battle where everyone gets the same monsters, and a World Arena tied to a yearly championship.

New and returning players get some help too. The listing mentions support quests and tasks that hand out a 5-star monster.

Where it falls short

The ratings are the thing to look at. Across 2,324,913 ratings the average is 3.85, and 19.1% of voters gave one star. Compare that with 4.7% at two stars and 6.5% at three. People either love this game or leave angry, with little in between.

The listing does not say how much purchases cost or how heavily the game leans on them, so check that before you commit time. It also describes a game with a lot of systems, which usually means a slow start for newcomers, though that is an inference and not something the listing states.

Only optional permissions are listed: notifications, audio for a voice feature, and storage on older Android versions for recording.

Who it suits

Players who like spreadsheet-style strategy and collecting should take a look. With 50,000,000+ installs and 58.3% of ratings at five stars, a large crowd clearly enjoys it. If you want quick, casual sessions, the long list of modes may feel like homework.
