FAIRY TAIL 2 Reviews
While the gameplay systems are solid, they aren’t enough of a positive to overcome that fans would likely receive a more complete narrative elsewhere. Add to that the game’s technical issues, and Fairy Tail 2 ends up being hard to recommend.
Fairy Tail 2 is made for fans who can enjoy the well-implemented attacks. Visually appealing and exciting, especially thanks to the many effects and the story moves along quickly. However, it's still somehow just typical JRPG uniformity that would like to have more individuality.

Fairy Tail 2 is a compelling action RPG that provides fans with the super-anticipated Alvarez arc. However, its efforts to make itself as accessible end up missing the landing, resulting in a rather unpolished experience that makes it hard to justify the cost.
FAIRY TAIL 2 is the best FAIRY TAIL game in the series and impresses with an outstanding story that captivates to the end and features emotional climaxes. KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust once again prove their skills in the action genre and deliver a gripping gaming experience. The combat system deserves a special mention, as it shines in the test with its versatility and innovative mechanics. It offers both tactical depth and thrilling action and ensures that every battle is an exciting experience.

Fairy Tail 2 is the kind of game that, despite its flaws, manages to deliver an enjoyable experience for the anime's loyal fans. It’s not a perfect adaptation or an RPG that will redefine the genre, but it is a decent tribute that captures the essence of the Fairy Tail guild and its characters. The hybrid combat system, while it can become repetitive, adds dynamism, and the additional stories provide emotional and fun moments that we didn't see in the anime.

Fairy Tail 2 is a game designed for fans, offering the chance to finally experience the conclusion of Fairy Tail and battle enemies and the Spriggan 12 with favorite characters, but despite some interesting elements like special bosses, collectibles, and iconic locations, it lacks variety in combat and falls short in storytelling, gameplay, and immersion compared to titles like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, making it a missed opportunity.

Fairy Tail 2 is a simplistic approach to the JRPG genre. It has an easy-to-understand combat system, a fairly straightforward storyline, and minimal effort required on the part of the player to maximize the efficiency of equipment and items. It's a good compromise for someone who wants the gameplay and storyline of a JRPG without all the unnecessary party management. The story might be a little simplistic, but overall, the game is a good time. The game runs pretty well on Steam Deck. You won't be getting a 60 FPS experience here, but 40 FPS with the occasional drop was perfectly fine for my playthrough. The controls work beautifully, and although we do get black borders due to the lack of proper resolution support, the game itself plays fine.
Although it is a sequel, those unfamiliar with the franchise will find an adequate introduction that provides a detailed insight into the world. You'll have the opportunity to get to know the protagonists and the complete story from the previous installment, opening the door to solid entertainment if you're a fan of this type of game. With unimpressive graphics but a good combat system, Fairy Tail 2 will be an enjoyable game for genre enthusiasts, franchise fans, or consumers of light anime entertainment.

Fairy Tail 2 manages to evolve the concept of adapting the series to the RPG format in an interesting way, though it behind a bit of the softhearted adventurer charm of the franchise in exchange for an open-ish world. Despite performance issues on Switch and adapting a late plot in the franchise too quickly, the frantic action and combat mechanic depth really stand out and promise a satisfying experience for fans of the genre.

FAIRY TAIL 2 was an interesting experience for me, for several reasons. However, I think the game still lacks in some essential points that prevent it from being a truly exceptional experience.

Fairy Tail 2 throws you right into the action of the final chapter of the Alvarez Empire Arc but does little to help out anyone who might be unfamiliar with the series outside of the games. Along with several bugs, performance issues, and strange UI decisions, unless you’re a fan of the series, Fairy Tail 2 can be skipped.
Fairy Tail 2 has wonderfully refreshed the battle system from the first one and now lets you play through the story from the original brilliantly right up to the finale. The music and the Japanese dubbing roles really bring out the magic of the series and should get you through the game well as a fan, as the world outside of the story unfortunately offers little and sometimes feels a little lifeless.
