FAIRY TAIL Reviews
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.
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.

While the breakneck opening might make it somewhat difficult for newcomers to the series to find their footing, it is clear that Gust was quite focused on delivering a love letter to existing fans of Fairy Tail. To that end, the developers succeeded. Fairy Tail is not a terribly challenging JRPG, but it never felt overly grindy or tiresome either, and with any luck we’ll see more of the series in game form in the future.
Fairy Tail is a great first entry for the series onto home consoles with plenty to love for fans of the series and genre.
The experience of playing Fairy Tail is very good if you know the original work. The game captures the essence of anime very well and makes you feel that universe with the presence of voices, music, artistic style and writing make the source material shine in this new media.

Fairy Tail covers some of the best story arcs from the series, but sadly that requires players to chug through uninspired quests to witness them. Luckily, the battle system is engaging, and that character interactions are consistently entertaining. This is a game for fans, and it shows during every moment of the gameplay, which might turn away newcomers in the long run. Still, I had a great time hanging out with the Fairy Tail guild and helping them return to their former glory.
Gust’s Fairy Tail game is one of those adaptations where it feels like the developer really understood what people love about the series.
Fairy Tail is a strong attempt to bring this licensed IP to the consoles. It manages to succeed with its RPG elements although the story does suffer from the transition to a different medium.
Overall, it feels as though Fairy Tail is targeted toward players who have knowledge or experience of the franchise already.
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.
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 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 a straightforward game that does enough to keep it interesting throughout.
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.
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.
If you are a fan of the series, then Fairy Tail is a must-have title. If not, it has many notable qualities for all players: beautiful graphics, fun and interesting story, good fighting mechanics, great soundtrack and a charming atmosphere. Although there are few points that could be better developed, the game is still a good choice for your library.

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!

Fairy Tail’s magical combat is a delight while some of its story handling and repetitive requests can be a bit of a grind even on longtime fans of the franchise.
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.

A good adaptation of the homonymous anime with a entertaining turn based battle system, only affected by little issues and the no presence of some characters.
