Fairy Tail

I've watched the Fairy Tail anime close to a decade ago. I was a big fan of the series back then and playing the game helped me re-live some nostalgia. The game is a condensed adaptation of the Grand Magic Games, Tartaros, and Avatar Arcs. The story may be confusing for players unfamiliar with the series but it was perfect for me.
Gameplay though slow-paced at times is surprisingly fun. There are a lot of original skits and interactions that weren't present in the anime/manga. The presentation was good, the environments were beautiful, and it makes me hopeful for an open-world Fairy Tail title in the future. Overall Fairy Tail is very polished and definitely one of the better anime video game adaptations out there.

Overall: 7/10

I came to play this game for the simple reason to re-watch the story since the new 100 years quest is coming out, and wanted to play a turned based game so it filled in. And was not much disappointed. Since its an anime game, I was expecting an awful game, but it was kind of good so I was happy with it.Positive:-You get to see all the fairy tail story in this game, which is a good reminder of such.

-Get to play with your favorite characters from the anime.

-Good variety on the abilities and each character is unique.

-Turned based wise it is a pretty good implementation of the genre.Neutral:-Achievements are pretty fun to do except the complete all the requests, there is to much repetition on that.Negative:-Repetitive, a LOT repetitive quests, at the end it is kind of boring.

-Since it follows the anime story the end part is kinda boring and nonsense.

-You are forced to use certain characters in certain missions it gets frustrated since you are obligated to evolve specially Natsu and Lucy, since you are going to use them a LOT.Final thoughts:Its a good game if you are a fan of the anime and want to relieve the story and play with your favorite characters and you want a turned based game.

This game was a lot of fun for me. It's a budget RPG with plenty of DLC outfits, but it offers exciting battle systems, a solid dungeon system, good environment quality and chain combos. I am a huge fan of the anime, thus I definitely recommend it, and to be honest, the poor reviews are mainly from people who aren't fans of FairyTail or who only play western-style RPGs.
Meanwhile, the only drawback of the game was that it was a little pricey in comparison to other anime games on Steam, and there are a lot of unplayable Waifu characters that I wish they added as DLC. However, because the anime will return by next year, I am hoping for that they will be added or that the other two FairyTail games will be available in English on Steam.

I tend not to review games but i make an exception to this one I love fairy tail and this game does a good job of representing it , it is fun to play , the mechanics are good and it is a great game probably a 7/10 without the fairy tail plot/theme with it i think it is a 9.5/10 if you like fairy tail buy it now if you don't watch fairy tail then buy it

As someone who loves fairytail I have thoroughly enjoyed this so far. I love the take on fairytail and it's perfect for any fan, look forward to the next one. My only quaint is lack of english voice actors but I get that. For those wondering about steamdeck compatability it is officially "unsupported" but I have managed to get it to run perfectly audio and all by using Proton-49 and a specific boot command for audio problems during cutscenes. Check the Protondbs website second solution for those details.

tldr: Fairy Tail fans can enjoy this simple JRPG if you find it for under 25$ (I wouldn't pay the full costs for anything, aside from maybe ONE costume for your ultimate waifu/husbando), no DLC needed (but DD is nice), and it's mostly bonus fan service costumes.
The Story does not start from the beginning of the Anime/Manga, rather around the point of a time-skip (Tenrou Island), and goes to Tartaros. That said, if you've seen the show in it's entirety, it sometimes feels like an abridged version of a select amount of the full story, but YOU get to punch those that harm your friends and family, with Natsu, Lucy, or even Ichiya!
It does have points where it doesn't show models for many characters that don't NEED one, seeming like it's cutting corners or just not wasting resources, though voice lines exist. But of the playable characters, and some more useful or more often seen ones, they look FANTASTIC. Most generic enemies use the same handful of models, often recolored.
This game made me want to play more JRPG style games, so if you are a veteran to JRPGs, but don't know Fairy Tail, you may find this mediocre. I found it to be a good gateway and introduction, as the closest to any other JRPG I've played is the mainline Pokémon games.
I got 100% achievements in the 62.7 hours I played, and it CAN be done faster, or enjoyed much slower. DLC is not needed for 100%, and are mostly just alternative costumes, on top of the 2-4+ the characters have in the base game. 4 Characters can also be obtained via DLC, being Lyon, Levy, Lisanna, and Elfman, and none are required for the Super Strong late game, so you aren't missing out unless one of them happens to be your favorite character.

It's a fun game with cute outfits, anime style goodness, awesome characters, familiar characters (both good and evil). It's a great game for Fairy Tail fans! It's like you're part of the Fairy Tail family. =)
