Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone is a vibrant and challenging side-scrolling action RPG developed by Lizsoft and published in English by Carpe Fulgur LLC. Beneath its bright, anime-inspired visuals lies a surprisingly complex game that mixes elements of Metroidvania-style exploration, fighting game-style combat, and traditional JRPG storytelling. At first glance, its art direction, youthful tone, and cheerful character designs suggest a lighthearted adventure suitable for all ages, but beneath that surface is a title that demands skill, patience, and persistence. It is a game that invites players with its charm but keeps them engaged through deep mechanics and a sense of genuine accomplishment born from mastering its systems. The story begins with a young swordswoman named Arche Plumfield, who moves with her family to the quiet town of Tonkiness to attend a prestigious magic academy. Arche dreams of becoming a great magician like those she admires, only to learn that magic in this world requires possession of an elemental stone — a rare and costly item far beyond her family’s means. Determined to find one herself, Arche sets out on an adventure that gradually expands beyond her initial goal, pulling her and her friends into a larger mystery involving ancient powers and forgotten ruins. As the story unfolds, Arche is joined by two other heroines: Sana, a gentle water mage, and Stella, a fiery and headstrong magic user. Together, the trio forms a well-rounded party that grows not only in strength but in camaraderie, with a light but engaging narrative full of personality and humor. Carpe Fulgur’s English localization deserves particular praise for preserving the spirit of the original Japanese script — full of witty exchanges, warm friendships, and a sense of childlike wonder. While its storytelling provides the heart, Fortune Summoners truly distinguishes itself through its gameplay. At its core, it is an action RPG with side-scrolling exploration and real-time combat, but what sets it apart is the intricacy of its fighting system. Arche, as the party’s melee fighter, uses a control scheme that feels more like a 2D fighting game than a typical RPG. Her attacks are executed through directional inputs and combo chains, allowing for fluid transitions between slashes, parries, and jumping strikes. Timing and spacing are everything — reckless aggression leads to punishment, while well-timed counters and blocks can turn the tide of battle. The combat feels deliberate and skill-based, demanding precision in a way few games of its type do. In contrast, Sana and Stella play quite differently, relying on ranged spells, area-of-effect attacks, and elemental magic to control the battlefield. Switching between characters changes the rhythm of combat completely, and although the AI companions can assist, they sometimes require manual correction, reinforcing the sense that the player’s mastery is central to success. The world of Fortune Summoners is sprawling and interconnected, with a structure that encourages exploration and backtracking as new abilities are unlocked. Each area — from tranquil towns and lush forests to dark caves and mystical ruins — hides treasures, secret paths, and side quests that reward curiosity. The dungeons are particularly well-designed, often combining platforming challenges with puzzle-solving and combat. The game’s pacing balances periods of lighthearted dialogue and town interactions with stretches of difficult adventuring, giving players moments to rest between bouts of intensity. The combat system’s depth is mirrored in its progression mechanics, with new skills and spells gradually expanding your tactical options. The player’s growth feels tangible — as you learn enemy patterns and refine your timing, previously insurmountable encounters become manageable through sheer understanding and skill. Despite its colorful presentation, Fortune Summoners is not a forgiving game. Its difficulty curve can be steep, particularly in the early hours when Arche’s moves are limited and resources are scarce. Enemies hit hard, have long attack ranges, and sometimes regenerate health, forcing players to adopt a careful and defensive playstyle. Many players have compared it to a “Souls-like” in spirit, not because of its tone but because it rewards perseverance and precision. Grinding for experience and gold occasionally becomes necessary to stay ahead of tougher foes, and some dungeons can feel drawn out due to their high enemy density. The controls, while precise in combat, can sometimes feel stiff during platforming sequences, making traversal less smooth than one might hope. Still, these challenges are rarely insurmountable and instead become part of the game’s identity — a reminder that beneath its charming veneer lies a rigorous, skill-based experience that values patience and practice. Visually, Fortune Summoners stands out for its detailed pixel art and expressive character animations. Each town, dungeon, and field has been lovingly crafted, filled with small details that make the world feel alive. The sprite work for the characters is excellent, capturing emotion and motion with subtle flourishes. It evokes the nostalgic charm of the 16-bit era while incorporating modern lighting and effects that give it a fresh look. The soundtrack complements the visuals beautifully, featuring a blend of upbeat melodies, mystical themes, and somber dungeon music that enhance the sense of adventure and discovery. While the tunes can sometimes repeat during longer stretches of play, their cheerful energy fits the tone of the story and reflects the innocence of its young heroes. The English version also benefits from Carpe Fulgur’s polished localization, which maintains the humor and warmth of the dialogue without losing its distinctly Japanese sensibilities. On a technical level, the game runs smoothly, though the Steam version remains somewhat dated. Some later patches released in Japan never made it to the English build, leaving small balance and compatibility issues unaddressed. Still, for most players, these are minor inconveniences rather than deal-breaking flaws. The game performs well on modern systems, and its low requirements make it accessible to nearly any PC configuration. What truly endures, however, is not its technical performance but its craftsmanship and attention to detail — it is a game clearly made with love, not for mass appeal but for those who appreciate deep combat, traditional design, and genuine character writing. Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone is a rare kind of game — a labor of passion that doesn’t compromise its vision. It may frustrate at times with its difficulty spikes and occasional mechanical awkwardness, but its charm, depth, and emotional sincerity more than make up for it. It offers a sense of adventure and discovery reminiscent of older Japanese action RPGs, where every victory feels earned and every friendship feels meaningful. Beneath its cute exterior lies a surprisingly mature game about growth, courage, and the bonds that make hardship bearable. It is not an easy recommendation for everyone, but for players who long for an earnest, mechanically rich, and heartfelt experience, Fortune Summoners stands as one of the hidden gems of the genre — an overlooked masterpiece of passion and perseverance wrapped in the guise of a simple, joyful adventure.

Great game, cute story. Steam doesn't recall all the time i spent beating this. This is one of the few games I did sit down and beat and felt accomplished after doing so. Not that it was too hard, just that I enjoyed myself doing so.

Very cute and funny, surprisingly in-depth combat system, very satisfying. Hate the stupid rabbit thing though, he's not cute or funny, he's ugly and annoying.

For some reason, I just remembered having played this game years ago due to the whole "kawaii Dark Souls" meme going around back then. Had a blast, actually. The combat was fun and satisfying. It was difficult and had some frustrating bits, but you always had ways to deal with it. Each girl served a purpose when it came to mechanics. Really feeling like playing it gain just for the sake of nostalgia. It's a shame we never got a sequel. Recommended.
