How successful was the worldwide release? The worldwide release was very successful for the MMORPG. While the game hit just under 2,000 on Steam in February, there was a player boom after the March 9 release (via steamcharts).
Player numbers rose sharply, peaking at 31,277 as of March 14, 2:00 p.m. According to Com2uS, Summoners War: Chronicles has even reached 110,000 simultaneous players across all platforms.
How is the game doing? The MMORPG has 2,500 ratings on Steam and is 74% positive. The reviews themselves are somewhat mixed. There are some players who report that they generally enjoy the game.
However, some players also criticize the gacha system behind the MMORPG. Even though Summoners War: Chronicles is a F2P title, there are plenty of ways to spend money, including Pay-to-Win and Pay-to-Progress.
