Summon Night X: Tears Crown
Nintendo DS · 2009
About this game
A turn-based strategy RPG, Summon Night casts you as one of four high school students (2 male and 2 female) who are magically whisked away to a fantasy land for purposes unknown.
Once there they will find out that they can control the powerful summon gems which upon different combinations with items can summon a magical creature to your aid for specific spells or to join you in battle as an ally.

The game plays as an isometric RPG in which you explore towns freely, chatting with NPCs to advance the plot, recruit allies and purchase items.
When in combat you are transported to an isometric tile-based map in which you issue orders to your characters and attempt to defeat your enemies.
Terrain and elevation provide significant advantages, so correctly positioning your forces is a must.
The game features bright 2D graphics and anime-styled character designs.
Depending on who you choose as your protagonist, different paths will be open to you as each has their distinct personality and guardian creature, that provides unique abilities.
Also dialogue choices determine which ending you may get and whether you can recruit certain party members or not.
The Nintendo DS release cuts the voice acting and opening movie, but adds a quicksave feature and a dialogue back-log.
It also adds the Party Point system originally introduced in Summon Night 3 , a handful of items and abilities from Summon Night 2 , and a new "Summon Communication" system that lets you upgrade certain Summon's abilities.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Summon Night X: Tears Crown for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Summon Night X: Tears Crown to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Summon Night X: Tears Crown, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
