    Fairy Tail is the perfect adaptation to video game of the famous series of Hiro Mashima. With its strengths and weaknesses, the title is still one of Gust's most ambitious productions to date and a game that every fan of Natsu and company will enjoy.

    Gust’s Fairy Tail game is one of those adaptations where it feels like the developer really understood what people love about the series.

    While coming in at the end of the 11th story arc of the show might feel like an odd starting point, the game does a good job with a quick introduction of the characters. While it may leave some questions if you are unfamiliar with the series, it still gives enough information for newcomers to enjoy; Fairy Tale enthusiasts will certainly have no trouble knowing what is going on. Fairy Tale is certainly a solid game on the Nintendo Switch.

    Without a doubt, fans of the series will enjoy what the game brings to the table, but for the first time, I can say that it’s the video game that has got me more interested in continuing to watch the show. The varying chapter lengths and uneven pacing are noticeable distractions, and there isn’t much depth to the tasks you complete around town or through guild requests. However, these concerns are more than outweighed by the charming and funny characters and all the moments they have together. FAIRY TAIL is an easy recommendation for RPG and anime fans, but those new to either of those groups might just find a true sleeping beauty here.

    Fairy Tail is finally on consoles and PC with a full-fledged RPG. The fanservice in this one is great for everyone. The fights are over the top with all the magic happening everywhere and the world takes you to a lot of different places. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of different enemies and the guild board missions are all similar after a while. Still, the game invites you to explore everything until you reach the spectacular ending and then some.

Fairly Tale is a hidden gem in it’s own weird way. The story take about 30hrs to complete, and cover 3 story lines mostly from season 2 of the anime. I have no clue why this game took so long to be developed. Gameplay is simple you run around a small map doing story missions and repetitive side missions with get boring and annoying like grey taken his shirt off. Combat is turn base grid style. Not like fire emblem but more like South Park. You combat menu constant of attack, item, magic, and defend. Escape is optional, and you got a ability called awakening which mainly use to boots ur attack damaged, but if you save it up it could save ur life in the heat of battle on boss fights. All magic attack are really too powerful and ur standard does nothing. One of my complaints is guest character well used most powerful attack to end a fight quick and you just stand there watching the same animation over and over again. You also got a meter that fills up to do a team attack. If you want a fun jrpg go for it, but this game really for the fans of fairy tale.… Full Review »

Not all characters are present during the scenes and you might end up talking to portraits of important characters that are not even there because it was too lazy to make a model for all of the important characters. The combat system is really the only thing that must be saved. Music is ok but compared to the masterpiece music of the anime feels terrible. Story arc is too short for a 60 bucks game. Company is just money grabber. Considering that for the same price i can buy Ghost of Tsushima amd the Deluxe edition doesen't even contain the season pass which is worth more 60 bucks plus all the costumes dlcs it is clear they want to make money over prudish content. To lower my review more the day one patch that censored pantyshots ruining the game immersion with black void under the girls skirts. As a conclusion do not buy the game unless it is on a huge sale under 20 bucks. It is not worth your money… Full Review »
