About Fortunato
Fortunato is a strategy card game that blends poker mechanics with roguelike progression. Developed by Normalice, it drops you into a series of four-player showdowns where you build decks using jokers, aces, and modified cards to eliminate opponents or accumulate chips. The game’s ever-changing islands introduce new challenges and bosses, forcing you to adapt your deck and tactics. Released in late 2026 for PC, it’s a single-player experience that pits you against AI rivals in high-stakes matches. The core loop revolves around balancing risk and reward, whether you’re playing hands, sabotaging foes, or hoarding resources. If you like tactical deck-building with a twist of poker strategy, this one’s a roll of the dice.
Gameplay
Each session starts with a randomized deck of jokers and basic cards. You draw pairs, play them as poker hands to gain chips or use them offensively to damage opponents. The twist? Cards degrade after use, forcing you to manage resources carefully. Boss fights require specific deck modifications, like adding elemental effects or reshuffling discard piles. Matches last 3, 5 rounds, with each round blending chip-building and health management. The UI feels snappy, though card interactions can get dense during late-game clashes. You’ll spend most of your time weighing risks: go all-in for a high-stakes hand or conserve cards to outlast rivals? The roguelike element means failures reset progress, but unlocked card upgrades carry over. It’s a tense, thinking-person’s card game with sharp pacing.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.5/5, with 88% completing the core story. Average playtime is 18 hours, though 35% log over 30. Community moods skew curious (22%) and tense (31%), matching the game’s high-stakes vibe. Critics gave it a 92, praising its "card-slinging chaos" and "endless deck-building possibilities." Completion rates spike after beating the third island boss, which 76% manage. Achievement data shows 45 total, with 60% of players earning the "All-In Ace" trophy for winning a match with a single poker hand. Reviews note a steep learning curve, 20% of first-time players quit before the second island.
PlayPile's Take
Fortunato is a deep, replayable card game for strategy fans who enjoy resource management and poker logic. At $29.99, it’s a solid mid-tier buy, though the $50 price tag at launch drew some backlash. Achievements and unlockable cards add long-term value, but the single-player focus and grindy progression won’t appeal to everyone. If you thrive in games that punish impulsiveness and reward patience, this is your pot of gold. Skip it if you hate permadeath or want something casual.
