If you were having trouble with Malenia in Elden Ring, you could rely on Let Me Solo Her (opens in new tab) to win the fight for you. If you were having trouble with pretty much anything in Final Fantasy 7, the Knights of the Round could be relied on to drop more than 100,000 points of Arthurian damage on it. And in Yakuza: Like a Dragon you can whip out your phone and call a storm of lobsters to fall on your enemies as the “Plague of Pincers”. Relying on a summon to help you win a particularly hard battle isn’t cheating—it’s just phoning a friend.
