Granblue Fantasy is a good one too. It has a deep and complex story, just like 'Summon Night Swordcraft Story'. The game also has a gacha system for obtaining new characters and items, and the battles are turn - based, which requires careful planning and use of skills.
Another option could be 'Final Fantasy Brave Exvius'. It features a rich fantasy world, turn - based combat like 'Summon Night Swordcraft Story', and a wide variety of characters to collect and upgrade. There are also regular events that keep the gameplay fresh.
A game like it is 'Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout'. It has a crafting system which is a big part of the gameplay, and the story and characters are quite engaging. 'Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch' is another. The beautiful art style, along with the creature - taming and turn - based combat, makes it a great choice. 'Fire Emblem: Awakening' also has similarities. The permadeath feature (if you choose to use it) and strategic turn - based battles are key aspects.
Well, 'Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2' is an obvious choice as it's from the same series and has very similar gameplay. It has the same type of combat where you use different weapons and skills. 'Riviera: The Promised Land' also has similarities. You move around in a world, interact with characters, and engage in battles in a somewhat similar way. And 'Golden Sun' has a comparable gameplay style in terms of exploration and combat. You explore dungeons, fight enemies, and use magic or abilities, much like in Swordcraft Story.
Closers is another Android game. It has fast - paced combat against strange and powerful foes. The character progression system, where you unlock new abilities and upgrade your gear as you defeat enemies, is reminiscent of Monster Hunter Stories. The game also has a unique art style that sets it apart while still having that monster - fighting essence.
There's Dauntless. It has you hunting large and powerful beasts, though not in the exact same monster - taming way as Monster Hunter Stories. But the combat against big foes and the need to strategize during battles are common elements. You can team up with other players to take on these challenges.
One game similar is 'Tales of Vesperia'. It has a rich story, engaging characters, and a combat system that involves strategic use of skills. Another one could be 'Star Ocean: The Last Hope'. It offers a vast world to explore, and the battle mechanics are quite in - depth. There's also 'Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA' which has great exploration elements and action - packed battles.
It's a role - playing game. In the game, you can summon various creatures and engage in battles. You also get to craft weapons and progress through a story filled with different quests and challenges.
The protagonist is a key character, of course. But there are also various non - player characters that play important roles. Some are masters of swordcraft, while others are related to the summoning aspect.
One more game is 'Long Live the Queen'. Here, like in 'Maid Story', you have to manage different aspects. In 'Long Live the Queen', you're managing the life of a princess, making choices about her skills, relationships, etc. It has that element of strategic decision - making which can be related to 'Maid Story'.
Flyff (Fly for Fun). It has a similar style of character progression where you level up and gain new abilities. The flying system in Flyff is really cool and adds an extra dimension to the gameplay, just like Maple Story has its unique features.
