Where Hero Wars and Idle Heroes lean on quick team building, Summoners War from Com2uS is a turn-based monster collector with a long history, first released on June 1, 2014. The roster runs past 1,000 monsters, and battles revolve around 23 types of Rune Sets, each with its own effects. It is rated Teen, contains ads and in-app purchases, and some paid items may not be refundable.
Free to install, with ads and purchases
The game costs nothing to install, but the store page flags both ads and in-app purchases. Items can be bought, and the store text warns that some paid items may not be refundable depending on the item type.
The game asks for notifications, audio for the voice feature, and storage on systems below Android 10 for recording. Each one ties to a specific function, so the rest of the game does not depend on them.
Runes, five attributes and over 1,000 monsters
The roster covers five attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, Light and Dark. The developer cites over 1,000 monsters, and 23 types of Rune Sets shape how each one is built. Summon Mileage builds up as you summon and leads to a guaranteed 5-star monster, while Relics act as new equipment for power-ups.
Modes include real-time 3-player raids, the Dimension Hole, Tartarus' Labyrinth, guild PvP and slime hunts with guildmates. Competitive play runs through Pick & Ban duels, Challenge Battle with equally provided monsters, and the World Arena tied to the SWC championship.
Version 9.3.8 and what it requires
The current build is 9.3.8, updated on October 26, 2026, and it requires Android 7.0 or newer. Com2uS runs a support center for game inquiries, and the terms and privacy policy are hosted on withhive.com.
