Overlord Mode allows the Summoner to supervise entire armies from a top-down perspective, altering the game entirely.</div><br />Along with omniscient battle control, the Summoner gets two pets, can levitate for 15 seconds, build an army from sentient crystal and basically wreak havoc on the battlefield, as the above video shows. The Summoner DLC pack is available via <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/208544">Steam</a> for $4.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/">Dungeon Defenders (Summoner Hero Class)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/#5044230"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/screenshot1-1337885180_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/#5044231"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/screenshot2-1337885181_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/#5044232"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/screenshot3-1337885181_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/#5044233"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/screenshot4-1337885182_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/dungeon-defenders-summoner-hero-class/#5044234"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/05/screenshot5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/24/dungeon-defenders-shifts-into-an-rts-with-summoner-hero-class/">Dungeon Defenders shifts into an RTS with Summoner hero class</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 24 May 2012 17:45:00 EST.
