FAIRY TAIL Reviews
pretty much fun JRPG game, but can be enjoyed mainly from those who follow the manga or animation, even with some annoying repetition of side quests the game presented a fighting system and guild development system in an amusing way, I recommend it to all fans of the Fairy Tail series.

FAIRY TAIL is a good experience as long as you are a fan of the anime series. It offers an interesting combat system and enough challenges to keeps those who are already in love with the anime engaged, but if you approach it as a typical RPG player you'll probably have a hard time finding a connection, as it is less deep and complicated than your average RPG game.

Fairy Tail is far away from being a great adaptation of Fairy Tail anime. Questionable choices have led to lack of depth in storytelling and characterization is really weak compared to anime. Fairy Tail also suffers from some technical issues and may be recommended only to those who really love the Fairy Tail anime.

Fairy Tail is a rushed spinoff that rarely has an ounce of the energy shown in its source material. It's more ambitious than many other anime games, but the execution is severely lacking. So much so that, if Fairy Tail was just another cookie-cutter arena fighter instead, it probably would have been a better game.
After playing Fairy Tail for a handful of hours, you'll look at your accumulated time and wonder what else you could have done with it. For example, you could have been playing something much more enjoyable, I can guarantee that much.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
This is a solid game no matter what. And I’m willing to bet that if you are a fan of Fairy Tail, you’re getting rewarded with a fun and solid RPG that keeps the spirit of the original and adds on more besides.
JRPG fans who aren't familiar with the franchise will certainly enjoy Fairy Tail, but this game is clearly targeted towards fans, who will likely love this game.
Fairy Tail is a well done adaption of the manga but mainly for lovers of the same. As a new player in the universe, the story of the game seems confusing and isn't coherent. And while the characters are depicted well, it's hard to get attached to them in any way. Also, gameplay is rather flat and slow - except for the battles which are a real delight! Fairy Tail is the first JRPG in which I actually enjoyed fighting more than the story. So overall, I recommend it but mainly for fans of the franchise.

Fairy Tail is one of Jolien's favorite animes. Now a game from this series has been released and she can discover the world of Fiore in video game form.

Somehow, Fairy Tail ended up being one of the most enjoyable JRPG’s I’ve played in a while. The characters, the stories, the variety and freedom in play, it all comes together for a very enjoyable experience.
Fairy Tail: The Game is a fun time for established fans who are familiar with the lore of its original source material, but its gaming adaptations would certainly benefit with a prequel initiating some form of introduction to newcomers.
I think if you’re into either the anime/manga series or turn-based JRPGs you’re going to have a good time with Fairy Tail.
