Summoners War: Rush review – “Effortless and enjoyable progression, as long as the adrenaline rush lasts”

  • Convenient auto functions are perfect for idling
  • Plenty of Summoners War Monsters to collect
  • Not sure how long it can hold your interest

As a student juggling my 100-hour JRPG adventures amidst mountains of homework and constant exams, I naively assumed that as an adult, I’d have unlimited free time to indulge in gaming whenever the whim struck me. I imagined myself effortlessly balancing a career, family, social commitments, and gameplay – all while maintaining the poise and grace of a seasoned professional.

To put it simply, when I graduated long ago, none of those grand ideals materialized as I had hoped, and instead, daily responsibilities piled up. This has made casual RPG games like Summoners War: Rush increasingly attractive. However, one might wonder if it truly meets all the needs of a busy bee or is merely another app taking up space on your phone.

The main feature of the visuals here is, as you might expect, the roster of characters from the Summoners War franchise, given that you can collect these Monsters more easily than the average gacha fare.
All these are presented with vibrant visuals, flashy effects, and chaotic combat, adding to the frantic feeling of overwhelming power when you’re blasting through foes from one stage to another.
In that sense, I suppose it’s more of a pick-up-and-leave affair, come to think of it, as you don’t exactly “play” so much as you watch. All you have to do is use your loot to boost your levels, then watch the magic unfold while you flit off to the real world to catch up on neglected IRL duties.
That is, of course, the entire appeal of
– the fact that I can just chuck my phone to the side and keep typing on my computer to, say, finish up a Summoners War: Rush review. The issue is that I didn’t particularly feel motivated to keep levelling up and fighting through foes the whole week I was playing this, and maybe the reason is that I didn’t know what I was fighting for.
It also perfectly captures that rush (hence the title, perhaps) of grabbing loads and loads of goodies for little to no effort, offering instant gratification for when all you need is a feel-good fix.

Of course, it sounds great, but I can’t help but wonder how sustainable this initial thrill is, especially when I’m unclear about my role and commitment in the long term. At least for myself, it poses a question.

Summoners War: Rush offers an excellent choice for a casual, auto-play game when you need to keep your phone occupied while you’re busy in real life. Its user-friendly interface, engaging functions, and progressive gameplay make it perfect for such purposes. If the initial excitement lasts long enough, this game could become a lasting source of entertainment for you.
