Nothing for classic MMORPG players
What kind of game is this? Summoners War: Chronicles is an MMORPG with anime graphics and an action combat system. You play a summoner, collect monsters via a loot box or gacha system and collect tons of materials to activate improvements or upgrades.
Like many other games in this field – such as Genshin Impact or Tower of Fantasy – Summoners War: Chronicles is Pay2Win and Pay2Progress. If you want to compete at the top of PvP or progress quickly, then the wallet has to take it.
However, similar to Genshin Impact, Summoners War: Chronicles can also be enjoyed as a Free2Play player. It satisfies the passion for collecting, offers a complex combat system and lots of content.

And indeed, the drop rates are sometimes absurdly low. In some gacha boxes, called scrolls here, the chance of certain 5-star characters is 0.0002%. Often there are several of these characters in the box, which increases the chance again.

Similar to Diablo: Immortal, opinions differ. If you’re generally prone to breaking out your wallet for little things in a game like this, then it’s best to stay away from Summoners War: Chronicles.
If you are looking for a fun anime MMORPG to keep you busy on the couch after work, then take a look.
Summoners War: Chronicles is not for everyone, but already has many fans and admirers. It keeps you busy and can keep running in autoplay mode if you don’t feel like it or don’t have the time.
Browsing through the reviews, you’ll notice that there really are a lot of players with over 1,000 hours in the game. That speaks for the amount of content, but also shows the grind that can flow in here.
