Luna Fortuna Review

It’s hard to tell what Red Tiger has been thinking here, and it’s been a while since we’ve seen a more brazen rip-off than Luna Fortuna. It’s basically a reskin of Moon Princess, albeit with a watered down and “Red Tigerish” math model. Even the character names and skirt colors are the same, and we’re sure the boys and girls over at Play’n Go were choking on their morning coffee when they first saw this.

The theme is still clearly inspired by the popular Sailor Moon anime series, and your teasing Guardians - Love, Stars and Storms - are at your service all the way. While Moon Princess is a highly volatile game despite the cutsie appearance, LunarFortuna is more casual with its medium volatile gameplay. The 1,318x potential is also less potent, but perhaps more achievable than the disputed potential you find in the Play’n Go original.

Luna Fortuna slot Features

The 3 cheerleader-looking Guardians might shower you with their grace at random times on non-winning spins. Each Guardian has her own unique special power, and you get a new active Guardian on each spin. You start with the Guardian of Love, followed by Stars and Storms, and they benefit you as follows:

• Love (red skirt) – Symbol Transformation (one random symbol turns into another random symbol of greater win potential).
• Stars (blue skirt) – Wild Transformation (turns up to 2 symbols wild for more winning combos).
• Storms (green skirt) – Symbol Elimination (removes 2 symbol types from the reels to give you a new cascade).

All winning symbols are removed from the grid, and the gap is then filled with new symbols falling from above.

This is the Cascading Wins feature, and you will also benefit from a progressive win multiplier that increases with +1 for each cascade. It can go as high as 20x, and all Guardian symbol wins add to the Energy Meter on the right-hand side.

When you fill the Energy Meter, you get a Guardians Unite Respin. You will then see each of the 3 Guardians do their magic on the reels in the order presented above. Keep in mind that the Guardian meter is reset on non-winning spins, and you need 5 combinations to fill all 3 sections of the meter. The meter is inactive during Guardians Unite Respins.

Your main aim here is to clear the whole grid of symbols, except for wilds which are excluded.

This is how you trigger the free spins round, where you get to choose which of the 3 Guardians you want to go with. The number of spins varies between the 3 options, and the less spins you choose, the higher the volatility. The respective Guardian modifier you go with will be triggered on each free spin:

• Love – offers 4 free spins, plus 4 extra spins by filling the Guardian meter.
• Star – offers 5 free spins, plus 3 extra spins by filling the Guardian meter.
• Storm – offers 8 free spins, plus 2 extra spins by filling the Guardian meter.

You can never get more than 20 free spins in total per feature, and the progressive win multiplier will not reset on non-winning spins. If you clear the whole grid during the bonus round, you win a 100x prize on top of all your other winnings.

The 200 Spins Luna Fortuna slot Experience

Our 200 spins test session was quite eventful this time, at least after a while. The 3-minute highlights video starts in the middle of the action, as we trigger a Guardians Unite Respin that helps us clear the whole grid and trigger the bonus round. How much we got away with can be seen by clicking the play button.

Review Summary

It’s one thing when developers reskin their own slots, but it’s not too often you see a more shamelessly obvious rip-off than what Red Tiger has done with Luna Fortuna. Even the 3 Guardians names are exactly the same as in Play’n Go’s Moon Princess, not to speak of the fact that the grid setup and the features are identical also.

The math model is typical for Red Tiger however, complete with customizable RTP ranges. While the volatile source of “inspiration” offers a 5,000x potential (at least theoretically), Luna Fortuna comes with medium volatility and a max win of 1,318x your stake.

As a standalone grid slot it’s not a bad effort (if you can handle the estrogen overdose), and at least players now have a less volatile option.

Pros

• Guardian modifiers on random losing spins
• Fill meter to Unite all Guardians in a single respin
• 3 different bonus round options

Cons

• Blatant Moon Princess rip-off with a weaker math model
• Beware of customizable RTP ranges

If you enjoy Luna Fortuna slot you should also try:

Moon Princess - is the better choice in our opinion, even though the 5,000x max win is disputed. It comes with all the same features as the game at hand, and the highest default RTP is significantly better than what Luna Fortuna offers (however, also this game comes with customizable RTP ranges).

Sailor Girls - is also clearly inspired by the popular Sailor Moon anime series, and you will find 5 charming girls in this game. They all present you with different options in the bonus round, and you can win up to 2,430x in this medium volatile Slot Factory effort.

Magic Maid Cafe - is a NetEnt game that’s inspired by a uniquely Japanese phenomenon. In Japan there are cafes where the waitresses (usually young girls) dress up as anime characters, and this slot pays homage to that concept. You will benefit from an Avalanche win progressive multiplier, and a bonus round for payouts up to 1,875x your stake.
