Archer, Having already played this game, I can give you the lowdown. (Rammstein has played it also and I think Bigdog either has it on order or has already gotten it.)

It's an above average RPG IMHO. Great Animation Sequences, Excellent Character Development and a good storyline. The only Drawback is that it's a little short (about 20-30 hrs) to play. After finishing the game you get all the animation, pictures, and music you unlocked during the game. The storyline is also linear and you can't choose who you end the game with. Here's the link to the Fortuna Web site:

Ok Doug but, The game have different endings or is just the same as Himeya’s Fatal Relations?(one path, one possible ending). It’s strongly necessary to have knoledge of Japanese to play de game?
Is the game looks similar to DIABLO?(gain experience, strong, magic, dexterity. Buy and sale armor and weapons, certain amulets or stone gives you special abilities, etc.)

On the negative side :
- Too linear (1 ending)
- Too short (<20 hours)
- LOTS of random battles (unless you use the easy mode patch)

And the positive side :
- This game has an insane amount of animated H scenes
- Features Cynthia : a Mutsumi-like character (ara-araaaa)
- The heroine Lena is super cute. (one of my fav. character from Zyx)
- And finally I love the way you learn magic in the world of Fortuna

So the game in a simple a Arcade game with good H scenes, but is absolutely neccesary to have knowledge of Japanese to finish the game?, Someone know another game similar to this but with multiple ending and more complex environment?

No you really don't need to know Japanese to play this game, but it helps with the story aspects of the game, and to know what weapons and armor you're buying.(My knowledge of Japanese is little to nil and I got through the game with little difficulty)
