Fortune Summoners

The combat is very good and I can see this being a very fun game, but between the well-documented performance issues and the horrible level design, this isn't worth the headache.

The controls are perfect, the combat is weighty and slick; don't let people tell you otherwise. This game makes you feel like nothing short of a badass for being able to take on hordes of enemies and sustain minimal damage. Be patient, utilize all the combos available to you and you'll be fine.

One of my all-time favourites. Miss you, Carpe Fulgur. Miss you, Lizsoft.

Played dark souls. This game was actually harder. can't shake of the shame of getting beaten by lolis.

Fortune Summoners is the kind of old game that, if updated, would make the developer rich... This game is really good, but it has several compatibility issues that players need to fix themselves if they want to play it. It's a great game, but it's a shame that the developer doesn't update it.

The combat is tight, challenging, and unforgiving. Somewhat like a fighting game, every input and seconds will make a difference as you try to get position on and get a rhythm against surprisingly dynamic enemies before they can combo you with knockdowns and status effects. The exploration is more on the old-school side, so expect a little bit of back-tracking and no hand-holding in the dungeons.

The contrast between the cute, light-hearted story with the crazy hostile world is entertaining too.

I'd recommend playing on keyboard for the precise controls

I really hate to say that I don't recommend this game. The pixel art is crazy stupid good in this and it's very nostalgic of early japanese games. I researched and found that the developer Lizsoft was a doujin company or basically it's like a fan-made game? There was a name mentioned in the credits who seemed to have done the majority of the work, but I couldn't find anything about that person online.

The game falls short in the controls, it just doesn't feel responsive enough. However, I could forgive that and the fact that the game basically dies if you're in full screen mode and tab out. Windowed mode is perfectly find, however. Those are minor inconveniences. The real warcrime here is that the levels are very maze-like and the flying enemies take forever to kill. If I had a player's guide magazine of this game with maps and stuff it would probably make it a lot more fun to play, but as it stands. I think fighting the same enemy types over and over again really drains the fun factor out of it.

I'll tuck this one away for a rainy day as I plan to get to it someday. But I can't recommend it for the go-to game/use of your time.

This unforgiving Metroidvania game will make you forget about Metroid and Castlevania altogether. Remember, when in trouble, grind
