Fortune Summoners

[SanguineTear]

 

Fortune Summoners is a sidescroller which tells the story of Arche, a young girl who is eager to go adventuring and improve her sword skills. In addition to Archie there are two other playable characters. When they all are traveling together, you can freely switch between them while the unused characters are controlled by AI which you can give various commands to, such as limiting spell usage.

 

The combat in the game is not exactly forgiving, and there is a bit of a learning curve. Some enemies are quite good at dodging and blocking, which means attacking without thinking can result in leaving yourself open for attack or wasting a spell. Depending upon who you use the fighting differs; Arche almost exclusively fights with her sword, one character mainly uses supporting magic with some offensive, and the last uses strictly offensive magic along with a dagger.

 

I really loved this game, the combat is challenging and extremely fun, surprisingly so. The last time I played it was quite a long time ago, but I'm currently playing it again and considering making a Let's Play series of it as I do so. If anybody wants more info on it, here is the steam page, where you can also download a free demo that gives you a really good idea of how the full game is. http://store.steampowered.com/app/203510/

 

So has anybody else played or considered getting this?

If only I had a powerful enough PC to play games, I would.

I do have a steam, however. Just waiting to have enough money to build my own powerful rig.

This one isn't particularly demanding, most any graphics card will do and it needs 300mb or so of RAM. Better waiting until it's on sale anyways though, this game is $20 regular, but on sale you can get it and two other fun ones for $5 or so.
