There is some debate as to what constitutes a fantasy heartbreaker, but basically its a game (usually produced by a small, independant company) with a fantasy setting that attempts to 'fix' some of DnDs problems, but ends up with problems of its own. They often have some good points, but usually have serious flaws that the wider game design community are already aware of and so don't appear in modern games.
Basically, if it is a fantasy setting that could be better played with a DnD system (whatever edition), then it probably qualifies as a fantasy heartbreaker.
