Guys, stop reporting this news post as inappropriate content plz.

And no, this isn't going to become a regular thing - but we have, from time to time, allowed reviews of games that are considered to be "outside of scope" just because sometimes it's interesting or something or stuffies and junk and such.

DaJi's school for fine ladies.

In japanese N Final is the only consonant that can be pronounced by itself.

:rpgcodex:

Other than that you have quite the good taste in cutesy japanese games. Nice and informative review of an awesome doujin game no one here will even try to play.

A word of warning: despite being a very hardcore game, Fortune Summoners is heavy on anime that creates the impression of being aimed at ten year old girls (which it isn't)
Or that means that ten years old girls in Japan are more hardcore than most western gamers... :smug:

<sigh> It basically means that 30-year old Japanese males have an unhealthy obsession with cutesy ten year old girls.

Thanks for the review, Crooked Bee. I had been meaning to play this for a while. Will probably get in the next Steam sale. Do you know if it integrates well with a USB gamepad?

I miss the 2D side scrolling RPGs I played when I was young, such as Ys, and Faxanadu. Apparently, everything in Fortune Summoners was done by a single individual!

I'd like to see someone do a review of Etrian Odyssey IV as well (when it is released).

Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Codex Year of the Donut I'm very into cock and ball torture
I made a thread about it a few months ago. It's coming towards the end of the year in the US from what I recall.

Super pumped up for this. :D


Well, brofist to you for bringing actual incline into this den of Mass Effect and Dragon's Age love.

3DS one although, i am not buying one just for one game.Theres really nothing else of interest on it. Etrian odyssey 3 was nice but had severe unbalance and easily exploitable skills.

This is so sacrilegious I'm almost compelled to take the bait and inflict my terrible writing on the Codex with a banal/shit/boring review.

Well, I have finally found time to read your VERY conmprehensive review, and I must say - I'm impressed. I've bought the game and played a little bit. It's odds on I will die of suger overdose before finishing it but prior to that it seems it's going to be some gimmicky fun. :thumbsup:

I can't wait to tell my bros: "Guys, this is better shit than Diablo 3". :lol:

Thanks for the review, Crooked Bee. I had been meaning to play this for a while. Will probably get in the next Steam sale. Do you know if it integrates well with a USB gamepad?

I tried playing it with gamepad. For some reason the game relegates controls over movement to left analogue stick instead of the cross-pad and it appears there's no way to change that. This means that navigating through the menus with a pad is a nightmere as it overreacts even with the slightest twitch. Plus it seems to me in this platformer you use more buttons than there is on an XBawks pad. :shock:
