FAIRY TAIL Reviews
Fairy Tail has somehow managed to keep my interest but I can't deny it has too much grinding that gets boring.
A very good JRPG, graphically simple but perfect for Fairy Tail's manga fans. Is not for "everyone" due to the link with the japanese visual nobel, but a very good game in terms of lenght and combat strategy.

Fairy Tail carries on going even when the storyline is done; there's plenty to upgrade in the guild, and a multitude of characters to rank up, unlocking new content and cutscenes. That, combined with an enjoyable battle system, makes Gust's latest a solid experience for anime fans.
Overall, Fairy Tail is a fantastic and faithful representation of its source material, while also being a wholly competent game as well. Its characters are fun, its story is engaging (if not particularly well written), while the flashy and interesting battle system is fun. Repetition in Requests and some performance issues drag down the game, as do its insistence on fan-service elements. In the end though, if you’re a fan of Fairy Tail or just want a new turn-based RPG to play, you’ll get some enjoyment here.
It seems as though the limited budget available for Fairy Tail has been used in the right places, saving on unimportant parts, and spending on the important bits.
A lot of anime games are full of personality but lack refinement and polish. Fairy Tail undermines those expectations by being well made whilst still capturing what made the original manga so special. Newcomers may find the limited retelling of the plot hard to follow but franchise veterans should have a blast.
Most of the times, we don't expect much from licensed video games and that can be a good thing because it gives the product a chance to surprise us and that is exactly what happend with me and the new Fairy Tail game. I've never been a die hard fan of this franchise, either as a manga or anime, but the way this game told its story with pretty fun JRPG mechanics, kind of nudged me towards becoming a new fan. This title may not be big on new ideas but the way it uses all the old ideas in a way that has made a nice JRPG package based on a beloved franchise.

Despite some very obvious shortcomings in quest design, difficulty, and technical aspects, Fairy Tail is a very solid turn-based JRPG that not only would satisfy the long time fans of the series but could be very enjoyable for fans of the JRPG genre as a whole. The deep combat system, fun interactions between the characters, interesting side contents, fitting art style, and an impressive adaptation of two big story arcs, make Fairy Tail a must-have for anyone interested in the series or the genre.

A JRPG not so inspired and too much repetetive, but bring with him a lot of things to do and is perfect for Fairy Tail fans.

Fairy Tail is a decent RPG based on the famous anime and a game worth trying. Unfortunately, it could've been even better if not for its repetitive missions and limited areas.

Fairy Tail is one of those games with characters you miss after completion. It’s one of those titles that you connect with because each character is humanized. They’re relatable, and despite their harnessing of magical powers, you can still invest. That’s excellent writing. The grinding aspect of JRPG’s has been streamlined, and you can easily get upwards of 60 hours out of this.
A a licensed JRPG, Fairy Tail is solid and fun, thanks manily toits combat system, but taken as role playing game as a whole, it can feel bland and uninspired. Recommended to Fairy Tail fans only. All the others may want to wait for a price drop.

Fairy Tail is a correct game with a very intuitive development that fans of the series will like much more for the good setting and details it has, but even they can choke certain moments in history by forcing them to complete repetitive secondary missions.

Fairy Tail is a good first attempt to bring this massive franchise to home consoles. GUST does a great job of not only recreating the world and characters of Fairy Tail but goes out of its way with great writing and character development. It's not every day you get to play a game that rewards you for every task you complete in it. Combat is a highlight but the exploration leaves much to be desired.
Fairy Tail is too simple a role-playing game to capture the interest of genre fanatics, but it could be an introduction to the genre for the younger generation, even though it suffers from generally poor technical performance.

As someone who hasn’t seen a single episode of Fairy Tail, I bloody loved this game! It felt like a re-skinned Atelier game, minus the synthesising, with enhanced combat and a whole host of addictive mechanics, such as the rebuilding of the guild. I wasn’t impressed with how they used the source material (the anime), but the expanded interactions, character stories, and unique game-only events made up for the lack of animated anime segments and chunks of the game reduced to the storybook-like narration. Fans of the franchise will enjoy playing as their favourite characters and reenacting various arcs from the series, and newcomers will enjoy the interesting stories and solid gameplay mechanics.
Borned from one of the most famous manga of the last decade, Fairy Tail, the videogame, introduces us to live three of the most important arcs of the franchise, while we try to restore the fallen honor guild, Fairy Tail. Analyzed on Switch, it is a great turn-based RPG, but it falls on graphics and the story.

Overall, it feels as though Fairy Tail is targeted toward players who have knowledge or experience of the franchise already.
Fairy Tail is a fun romp through the kingdom of Fiore with many interesting features although newcomers to the franchise may feel lost at times with the story.
