Created by Kouji Okada, the father of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner is intended to provide a deep and engaging storyline while still being easy to play. Players take the role of Vyse, an untrained Jewel Summoner. Through a charm given to him by his mother, Vyse holds the power to call forth monsters in gem form. As Vyse searches for his mother's killer, he can battle and collect over 100 different monsters. Ad-Hoc capability allows gamers to duel against friends or trade obtained animals. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
