A lone archer stands against the tide of darkness, but she is never truly alone. With a gesture, the very shadows at her feet twist and rise, forming legions of loyal monsters to fight at her command. This is the core experience of First Summoner, a vertical-action RPG that merges real-time tactical deployment with direct hero control. The game discards traditional control schemes for intuitive one-handed play, allowing you to focus on strategic unit placement and precise archery to overcome challenging encounters across a dark fantasy landscape.
Gameplay revolves around two interconnected systems: the direct control of your archer heroine and the strategic deployment of your summoned army. You manually aim and fire arrows at enemies while simultaneously managing a deck of summoning cards. This deck functions with mechanics akin to strategic card battlers, where you spend mana to play creature or spell cards that appear on the battlefield instantly. The roster of dark allies is extensive, including frontline brawlers like Ogres, swarming Skeletons, and specialized magical beings, each with unique attack patterns and health pools. Beyond creatures, spell cards provide crucial area-of-effect damage, healing, or crowd control to turn the tide of battle.
Your strategic options are defined by your card collection and its development. You obtain new cards and duplicate copies through gameplay and systems like card trading. Using duplicate cards and in-game gold, you can permanently upgrade a card's level, increasing the stats and potency of the units or spells it summons. This progression system encourages deep deck customization, allowing you to tailor your strategy for different game modes. The game presents a substantial single-player campaign that details the origin story of the summoner's pact, alongside competitive PvP modes for testing decks against other players. An endless roguelike dungeon mode offers repeatable challenges with increasingly powerful enemy compositions and rewards.
