Ritual Summon

Editorial Meh

Ritual Summon is a short side-scrolling action game with decent pixel art and a fantasy premise about a summoned priestess caught between two warring factions. The community is sharply divided: supporters praise the character art and H-scene variety (28 CGs with multiple perspectives and loop options), and note the game is playable on sale; detractors find the core gameplay sluggish and janky, with repetitive enemy types, trivial difficulty, and a campaign that lasts 1–2 hours. A persistent complaint is that beating the game doesn't unlock all CGs—players must intentionally lose to specific enemies to view their scenes, which many find tedious. The story is sparse and most dialogue is text-only (except two characters). For players seeking a brief, art-driven experience with forgiving combat, the game delivers on sale; for those expecting substantial gameplay depth or convenient gallery unlocks, it falls short of its $5 asking price.
