Let's win the battle and increase the types of monsters that can be summoned. In a certain town you can also summon rare monsters by combining monsters with each other. You can make dungeons using your monster and items. You can also play dungeons made by other users and get items. Even after clearing of game the place where you can go will increase and PvP is released. Rival summoners appear in various places after the monster map has been completed. It is possible to play all without charge, no internet connection required. * Internet connection is necessary to use PvP battles and net save etc. Tips: Let's talk to people in the town and the castle at first. Let's collect fellow monsters and raise the level around the town before aiming for the first dungeon. * Monsters that are easy to appear depending on the terrain may be different. Let's equip to monsters, not players. Let's report to the castle after clearing the dungeon. A new way can be opened. * We recommend that you save to the net from time to time in case you have lost the local save data.
