Japanese role-playing video game
, known also by the blend word Housamo (放サモ, derived from "Tōkyō Hōkago Samonāzu"), is an F2P role-playing video game for Android and iOS. It is developed by Lifewonders, a mobile gaming company operated by the dōjin circle Yojouhan-teki Seikatsu. It is noted as one of the first commercially produced LGBT video games created in Japan, and one of the first commercially produced LGBT games to extensively utilize gay manga ("bara") artwork.
Gameplay.
"Tokyo Afterschool Summoners" is a free-to-play card-based role-playing video game with turn-based battles. Each character card has a weapon type, as well as an elemental attribute that determines its strengths and weaknesses against other cards in rock–paper–scissors-style match-ups. Cards gain levels and abilities by accruing experience through battles; once a card reaches its level cap, special items must be used to uncap the card so it can gain more experience. The game utilizes an affinity system wherein buffs are applied when the cards of characters who have a relationship ("love", "like", "dislike", and "rival") are used in battle together. Cards are obtained through quests, or through the game's gacha system.
Development.
The game was released on the App Store for iOS on December 2, 2016, and on Google Play for Android on December 15, 2016. Partial support for the game in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese was added in March 2018.
Several prominent gay manga artists, including RybiOK, GomTang, and naop, have designed characters for the game, making "Tokyo Afterschool Summoners" one of the first ever commercially produced video games to feature gay manga artwork.
Plot.
The protagonist awakens in a version of Tokyo where "transients" – supernatural beings from fantasy and mythology – live among humans. In this world, both humans and transients utilize mysterious artifacts to fight in duels; duelists organize into guilds, which fight for control of the 23 special wards of Tokyo. The player controls the protagonist as they form a guild of their own, gather companions, and attempt to uncover how they have arrived in this world.
