The one thing I'll definitely give it is how fast you can move from one enemy to the next, your pet can cover a lot of distance and keep enemies busy.
My favorite thing about games like this is fighting the strongest enemies it will allow so being able to attack, dodge, heal the pet on my own and take down anything is definitely fun, I was kind of hoping summoner would be weaker in defense and hp, dodging with him is easy so I was hoping bosses would be one his kills but with an all attack build he can still take a few good hits.
