Fairy Tail 2 wastes no time in throwing players into the action, perhaps at the expense of being welcoming to newcomers. Those who have played the first game, however, will probably love this sequel, even though its new combat system becomes a little repetitive during extended playing sessions.

With only two major games in the franchise starting at the end of the Fairy Tail story, Fairy Tail 2 seems like an odd choice. While it's perfect for franchise fans, people looking to jump in for the first time will lose out on many stories and content. The game features an intense combat system, even though it's a tad on the easy side and has plenty of worlds to explore. Overall, it's just a shame that almost all of Fairy Tail 2 feels rushed and budgeted compared to developer Gusts' more recent titles.

Despite some of its shortcomings, such as the excessive amount of busywork for quests, guild development, and other mechanics that dragged the experience down, the first proper adaptation of Fairy Tail in JRPG form developed by Gust managed to be rather successful, mostly thanks to the faithful rendition of the charming characters created by Hiro Mashima. Still, no one expected the game to receive a sequel, so its announcement earlier this year came as a complete surprise.

Fairy Tail 2 is a compelling action RPG that provides fans with the super-anticipated Alvarez arc. However, its efforts to make itself as accessible end up missing the landing, resulting in a rather unpolished experience that makes it hard to justify the cost.

It’s a bummer combat feels like such a swing and a miss, because everything else about Fairy Tail 2 feels like an improvement from the first game. It’s a more full and lively-feeling experience, which is crucial for adapting something like a beloved anime series. The playable roster is larger, and a multi-pronged skill tree system allows for lots of customization for each character’s skills and passive abilities. As it stands, fans of Mashima’s fantasy epic will still probably have a good time seeing this version of the story through (and checking out the new epilogue!), but Fairy Tail 2...

Fairy Tail 2 is a simple JRPG that is perhaps a little too simple in areas. But it runs well on the Steam Deck.

Fairy Tail 2 is a highly polished, cel-shaded action-JRPG that faithfully adapts the final dramatic arc of the Fairy Tail franchise into video game form, but its severe lack of onboarding for newcomers risks alienating a much larger potential audience.

Prior to the modern Fairy Tail games, the series' only video game adaptations were a pair of Japanese-exclusive PSP titles that never received localizations. The release of Fairy Tail in 2020 was a welcome surprise for longtime fans of the incredibly popular Fairy Tail manga and anime, adapting the series' first major arc into an RPG with some light-tactical combat. Notably, though, Fairy Tail fell short of fans' expectations by breezing through several important story beats despite otherwise bringing the fantasy world of the anime to life. Fairy Tail 2 does a great job capturing and retelling the climactic final...

Fairy Tail 2 was a fun and addicting time with great animations. It still suffers from choices made during the first game, but it is still a good time for Fairy Tail fans.
