FAIRY TAIL Reviews
Some faithful Fairy Tail presentation is let down by rushed storytelling, unbalanced combat, and tedious gameplay.
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.

It's apparent that a lot of work went into Fairy Tail to ensure that it's something fans would embrace.
As a fan of the anime and manga series, I found enjoyable immersion in Fairy Tail for the PS4 and recommend any fans to give it a chance. Other than this fan service, though, there is little to compel a player to continue in this game past the first few hours due to the repetitiveness of battles, missions, and story tropes.
Fairy Tail is a decent RPG experience, designed almost exclusively with fans in mind
Other than the aforementioned issues, I believe Fairy Tail is a JRPG title that's incredibly accurate to its source material, and while the game is more tailored to fans of the series, it still offers a level of enjoyment most anime-based games do not.
A fun dive into the world of Fiore covering most arcs after the time skip. Enjoyable and interesting turn-based combat with plenty of side quests and collectibles to keep you invested through the story. Fans of the franchise should check out this game even if the combat seems like a turn off.
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.
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.
Fairy Tail manages to be little more than a mediocre JRPG. While definitely worth serious consideration for fans of the series, it is an irrelevant release for everyone else.
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.
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 pure comfort food for people who, like me, count the JRPG as the favourite genre.
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 came out of nowhere to deliver a worthwhile RPG that rises above the usual mediocre material tied to anime games.
Fairy Tail is a return to form for the classic turn-based RPG combat of yesteryear. A huge cast of memorable characters, tons of side content, and incredible combat all come together to form one of this year's most impressive JRPGs.
Fairy Tail is an occasionally charming game for fans at best, and an incredibly repetitive RPG at worst.
Despite some limitations, Fairy Tail is a very good JRPG, with a great combat system, beautiful animations and visuals. All of this does a great job of retelling some of the main arcs of the series on which it is based, although its focus on pleasing fans ends up limiting its overall appeal.

Fairy Tail is really enjoying for fans of the anime but because lacking of storytelling specially about each character, would'nt be that much good for anyone else. Altogether the combat system and making bond with other characters make the gameplay amazing. Fairy Tail is really worth your time to try specially because of its amazing gameplay and combat system.

Fairy Tail is over-the-top, comical and captivating – and it’s one of the most enjoyable JRPGs I’ve sank my teeth into in some time.
