Fairy Tail Anime Becomes a Video Game: Fairy Tail Review

Company GUSTbest known for the series Atelier, decided to take on the game adaptation of the famous manga by Hiro Mashima Fairy Tail… Based on the twelfth story arc of the main story, the authors throw an unprepared player into the world of Fairy Tail, where the guilds of magicians are fighting for the right to be called the strongest.

According to the plot, a detachment of heroes goes to visit the master’s grave on Tenrow Island, where they find themselves in a temporary trap for seven long years. Upon returning to his native kingdom of Fiore, it turns out that everyone has forgotten them, and the former greatness and glory will have to be restored from scratch.

Players are gradually introduced to key characters, sending them on joint missions or offering small interactive scenes, following the original plot of the manga.

Building a guild from scratch, you mine key items in the vicinity of the city, earn money by fulfilling requests from the bulletin board, and individually pump the members of your squad.

Separately, you can change the appearance and clothing of the characters, but most of the time is spent on turn-based battles.

In Atelier, the combat system has always remained in third place, but in Fairy Tail it is the plot engine and the main visual dish of the project. The developers not only transferred colorful magic attacks from the original anime series, but also thought out a complex combat system where you can enhance the hero, create joint attacks and carry out super moves.

The battles take place in turn-based mode. If you were able to strike first before the start of the battle, then you have the advantages of the move, but if the enemy managed to kill you, then all the power of the first step is on his side.

When choosing a particular spell, you see how many cells and enemies on the field it affects and whether the enemies against it have defense or weakness. In addition to magic, you can do normal damage or use items.

In arena battles, your friends are able to help by increasing statuses or healing. And in a regular game, in the case of pumped up social connections, you can be given an additional bonus attack.
