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.

Chart displaying Summoner percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Summoner, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is very good, reaching 45 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 22 times less than the median for positive reviews. When the negative review time is low (median : 57 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Summoner and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
