This isn't the worst thing I've played, but it's also being aided by the fact that I can save state in the safeness of my emulator, playing this back then on actual PS2 or even playing the PC version (which goes by another name) and without being able to skip the cutscenes I would probably just grab the disc, put it in a blender and snort its powder to instantly die. The combat is braindead, the AI is braindead, the sneaking is braindead and the events sometimes can break, which basically can softlock you from continuing. It doesn't even have the charm to make it come through as at least a passion project, so the case of Daemon Summoner is a very simple one: it just sucks plain and simple.
