Our take on Umbra: The Last Summoner
The game replaces a single-character RPG structure with a summoner-led roster of 60 heroes. Its turn-based battles also make elemental relationships and action-point management central to each encounter, while exploration and NPC dialogue expand the campaign beyond combat.
What is Umbra: The Last Summoner?
Umbra: The Last Summoner is a turn-based RPG about stopping a demon invasion caused by dimensional rifts.
As the last Summoner, players recruit 60 heroes, each with distinct abilities, and fight more than 150 monsters and demons. Exploration covers 15 regions, including forests, deserts, and mountains, alongside more than 100 side quests. Battles use action points and elemental strengths and weaknesses, requiring choices about attacks and abilities.
