Release
Fortune Summoners was originally released by the Japanese dōjin soft group Lizsoft in 2008. A 2009 re-release offered graphical improvements, additional voice acting, and other added content. Carpe Fulgur localized the 2008 version for an English release in 2012.
Reception
In the West, Fortune Summoners received mixed reviews from critics. Sam Marchello of RPGamer scored it 1.5 out of 5, calling the game "a repetitive nightmare" with "poorly designed dungeons and neverending cutscenes filled with trite dialogue." Francisco Acosta, writing for MeriStation, said that "For lovers of titles like Ghosts'n Goblins, Zelda II or Wonder Boy, Fortune Summoners is nothing short of essential, but we must bear in mind its limitations."
Censorship Controversy
For audiences outside Japan, the game developers censored a hot springs scene. This change caused some degree of controversy, though it should be noted that the change was self-made and was not done specifically to comply with any laws.
