Tokyo Afterschool Summoners, also known as Housamo, is a turn-based RPG strongly influenced by visual novels. This title, which is considered one of Japan’s first commercially produced LGBT games, is filled with all kinds of diverse characters.
Start playing Tokyo Afterschool Summoners, and the first thing you have to do is choose your character from a few different avatars. But no matter which avatar you choose, you can choose any gender identity and voice. Not only that, but this game continues to support diversity as the storyline unfolds, which is so important in the media today.
Tokyo Afterschool Summoners’s gameplay is divided into dialog scenes and battles. The dialog scenes play out just like a visual novel: you simply choose how to respond to other characters continue through the story. The battles, on the other hand, have a straightforward turn-based combat system, similar to the legendary Tetra Triad, in which your character moves across a game board and can attack certain squares depending on the arrows on their cards.
Overall, Tokyo Afterschool Summoners is a fun RPG, in which you can meet all kinds of characters in a fantasy Tokyo filled with mythical beings and humans alike. Give this game a try and go on an adventure where friendship might even be more important than the battles.
