The game has a lot of potential and offers a fun dungeon-building experience reminiscent of 'The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot'.
The developer is actively updating the game and responding to community feedback, which bodes well for future improvements.
The unique mechanic of requiring players to complete their own dungeons before others can attempt them adds a strategic layer to gameplay.

The game suffers from significant balance issues, with some dungeons being nearly impossible to complete due to poor design choices.
Progression is heavily tied to loot boxes, leading to a pay-to-win environment that frustrates many players.
The controls and user interface are clunky and unintuitive, making the gameplay experience less enjoyable.

The monetization of Heroes of Fortunia has been criticized as a predatory cash grab, featuring a fully implemented money shop and loot boxes despite the game being abandoned in early access. Players can purchase everything with in-game currency, but real-money options primarily expedite inventory building, raising concerns about the game's overall quality and integrity.
- “Monetization: everything can be purchased with in-game currency, with pay options available to build an inventory faster.”
- “Heroes of Fortunia is an abandoned early access mobile app loot box scam that was dumped on Steam as a nasty, predatory cash grab.”
- “What I am surprised about, though, is the full money shop already implemented. As the saying goes, working microtransactions means a working game, and this isn't it.”
- “Monetization: everything can be purchased with in-game currency, with pay options being to build an inventory faster.”
grinding

Players find the grinding for loot boxes tedious, particularly due to the repetitive nature of the dungeons and the high number of wins required to earn chests. The option to purchase chests with real money introduces a pay-to-win dynamic, making the grind feel even more frustrating for those who prefer to earn rewards through gameplay.
- “Grinding for more loot boxes may not be as painful if I didn't have to wade through the same few players' dungeons.”
- “You can also buy the chests with real money, which adds a pay-to-win element to the game. Sure, you can earn them for free, but at around 20 wins per chest and with RNG, you'll be grinding those out for a long, long time.”
