The Summoning (computer game)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Summoning is an isometric-view computer role-playing game developed by Event Horizon (later renamed DreamForge) and published by SSI in 1992.
The sequel to Event Horizon's first game, DarkSpyre, The Summoning replaced the random-generated dungeons of the previous title with clever puzzles, a compelling story, and interesting game mechanics. The title featured numerous magic items and runes, as well as a casting system where spells were composed of various somatic hand gestures.
As real-time isometric RPGs, Event Horizon's collection of titles were often cult favorites, serving as inspiration for later titles from other publishers such as Diablo.
