    The game was Censored with a patch after they sold people on it. That is false advertising. Would not recommend. Fairy Tale being censored? If they spent more time and effort on actual game development, then the game may have received warmer reviews. They obviously have their priorities messed up.

    The game seems flat, with little attention to detail. Missing animations and boring screenplay make for a sad performance.

    The combat is okay and the characters are enough to spark joy in any fan but the whole game seems rushed. Lots of cut corners.    … Expand

    I can't help but feel pretty disappointed. When I look at a lot of stuff with the game I feel like it's all just done so lazily. The characters look weird sometimes and move oddly a lot. Like it's definitely apparent that their movements are many and stiff or flow around way to much (Wendy walking around like she has rubber hoes arms 180°) then when you are somewhere like the guild HallI can't help but feel pretty disappointed.

Like it's definitely apparent that their movements are many and stiff or flow around way to much (Wendy walking around like she has rubber hoes arms 180°) then when you are somewhere like the guild Hall characters just stand around like status, never move, and that's with the characters that aren't missing which a lot are. Characters even missing in the main story cut scenes and I thought that was kind of a let down because I like the characters that were gone. Then other characters will be introduced but you'll just be looking at an empty room and their picture will show up with their dialogue, but it just seems so lifeless. Talking to an empty table because they didn't actually add the character in the game, and again it's a lot missing. The gameplay is cool but expect frame rate drops though they aren't to bad. Whoever did the special effects for the magic deserves a raise though because they always looked great! There's a lot I'd like to touch on as well but really I think the game was made without much of a passion at all.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright i was so excited for the this game, and while i wasn’t disappointed i also wasn’t impressed. The gameplay is entertaining but everything else just feels empty. Walking around magnolia just feel like walking through an empty field NPCs are all transparent and you can only interact with people asking for favors. Every single quest is the same too, this game is too simplistic is the type of game you make for people who just started gaming. It doesn’t really feel like a PS4 game at all or a game that belongs in this generation. It feels like a game that should’ve happened about 8 years ago. I like the series so i enjoy it but anyone not familiar with it looking to pick up a JRPG will be very disappointed. Also why start it from the tournament arc is 2020 they could’ve fit the whole series in there, i know they had a small budget but come on. When you battle the game can at time feel so alive sadly that’s the only time it does. I do hope they make another and i hope they actually put some work on that one.… Expand

    First and foremost the selling price doesn't quite worth for the game's content. Music is bad, battles and missions are repetitive and can feel that the production team didn't put much effort in developing this game since there's drop of fps even when the graphic is not nice, plus lots of time the game only shows characters talking to the wall since they don't even bother to make modelsFirst and foremost the selling price doesn't quite worth for the game's content.

    As a fan of the series I would have liked more movies. The graphics are very low in tone, they do not use the latest GUST graphics engine, the quests are many but repetitive and boring. There is a bit of censorship but not too much. The music is nice. In conclusion I hoped for better for this I only give him the suffcience

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright so let me start with this, I really wanted to like this game as a huge fan of Fairy Tail. I've read the manga watched the anime (bought it as well). However, no matter how much I like the series this game was a giant middle finger to the consumers.

    So, let's start with what it actually got right
    -The RPG combat, surprisingly works really well and feels good (although extremely easy at times)
    -The abilities are pretty good looking for the most part and feels rewarding.
    -decent amount of costumes to unlock during the game play.

    Now sadly, we move on to the negatives (yeah not many positives here)
    -The story...okay, i think this was probably the biggest insult to any of the fans. It goes from the END of the Tenrou Island arc, even though it states it includes it. It legit just the time skip for the 7 years. and it goes through to the Tartaros arc which is cool you think you are getting a lot of content and will be kept busy for awhile. Wrong, even though it covers several long arcs the game leaves out almost all the story driven plots to make you really care about what happens, for example Ultear's sacrifice for someone that never really watched/read fairy tail would feel lack luster and pointless.
    - The game feels VERY incomplete to the point where the characters are actually having conversations with characters that aren't even present in the game due to them not being modeled in. earliest example that I can recall is Meredy when Jellal is talking to Natsu/Erza about the grand magic games. She will have dialog and fully voiced however you never see her due to her not having a model in the game. In certain cases they will just show a still image of the anime scene as a place holder when people are talking and have no model, or there is scenes where everything is voice acted except for 1 person who wont have a model and is just dialog, even though they are a major character.
    -the side stuff...holy hell the side stuff...umm the "community service" quests in this game are absurdly lazy they are fall under "can you bring me 1-3 of x items" these items you legit just find while exploring or killing monsters so there is no uniqueness to these at all and the rewards are for the most part uneventful.
    -The monsters...okay so prepare to fight a little over a handful of monsters (besides story bosses and some story events) so basically you fight wolves, flutter's (birds) the beast man, some tiny whales that are on land for some reason, golems, and dark guild mobs every now and then for almost EVERY single request on the request board making every single thing you do to rank up the guild feel like you've done it multiple times before.
    -And the worst part is that after all that and not even a week after release they add $50+ in costumes then a $59.99 season pass. I could have let the rest of this go and give the game in its current state a 5-6 but when they game is so unpolished and then they have the nerve to charge $60 for just a few bonus missions and what looks like a few more playable characters? unacceptable and if I owned it on steam i would have asked for a refund when i first noticed the issues.    … Expand

    This is a shocking horrifying video game. No good game play, **** characters and a story just as worse as the ending of the series itself. Run from it as far as possible and spend your money on something like Ghost of Tshuhima or save it till next year, and go watch Jojo. Defo do not buy.

    This is a nice throwback game that successfully captures the feel of Fairy Tail. The grid-based system gives combat a bit more depth that I expected and the game gives a lot ways to customize your team. It's clearly not a big budget game, with iffy animations and cutscenes, but those issues are minor. If you are a fan of the series there's a lot to love here.

    As a fan of Fairy Tail I really, REALLY wanted to love this game. And my first impressions were good. But after an hour of two of gameplay you start to see odd things. The characters have very few animations and they are repeated over and over. The story is rushed. The combat is okay, but lacks depth.

    And there are very, very few ingame models for characters, which is SO confusing.    As a fan of Fairy Tail I really, REALLY wanted to love this game. And my first impressions were good.

    And there are very, very few ingame models for characters, which is SO confusing. Sometimes the game "shows" two characters talking to each other, but the camera just focus on a wall or the floor because they have no ingame models. Other times two characters with ingame models are talking to a whole other group but they don't have models so the camera is just focused on a wall again. Other times the camera doesn't even bother to hide the fact that there are no models and just shows one a couple characters talking to the void when they're supposed to be talking to a third character. And the tournament arc is the worst of all. There are supposed to be 6 teams of 5 characters each apart from the Fairy Tail teams, which would be 30 characters. Only about 5 of them have actual ingame models, and that's because they become party members later. Other characters are just replaced by generic looking bandits or simply ignored.

    Disappointing. And I haven't even mentioned the very abusive DLC of this game,    … Expand

    Mediocre graphics is a big letdown of Fairy Tail (a common flaw of many Japanese video games based on anime/manga), but it plays much better than you might assume by looking at screenshots and watching trailers.

    Fairy Tail is a good gift for fans of the series, but everyone else will not understand the enthusiasm of the characters, the history of their relationships or the rules of the world. The attached encyclopedia offers a brief reference, but this is clearly not enough for a full immersion. Of course, the leader of the Fairy Tail Guild Makarov can attract, but this will only cause a passing interest among newcomers. Bright fights and magic delight, but the slow story with boring tasks and pumping make you yawn from the monotony. But if you are a fan of the original manga or anime series, you can safely add one point to our rating, because you will find yourself in the world that you have been waiting for.

    Although minor things like no English voiceover work set back the overall quality, I still find Fairy Tail to be a step above most other anime-based games. The quality of graphics aren’t top-tier for a modern 2020 game, but they look pleasingly anime-like in color and design so it doesn’t feel like a throw-away entry of any sort. Overall, if you’ve been itching for a new anime game and you love Fairy Tail, then Fairy Tail on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC is a fun and refreshing new take.
