Fairy Tail 2 is the second installment of a jRPG series launched in 2020, based on the manga of the same title. The game is the result of a collaboration between Gust studio, which created its predecessor, and Koei Tecmo company, which oversees the brand.

Plot

Fairy Tail 2 once again takes us to the fantasy universe created for the original manga. The main characters of the game are Natsu and Lucy, members of the titular magicians' guild. They must go against Emperor Spriggan from the Alvarez Empire, deal with his elite "Spriggan 12" team, and also face the world destroyer known as the Black Dragon, Acnologia.

In addition to presenting us with the climax of the original manga, the game allows us to explore a completely new story, titled "Key to the Unknown". Moreover, characters have dedicated quests, which allows us to get to know them better.

Gameplay

In Fairy Tail 2 we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). During the game we explore a vast open-structured fantasy world, get to know its inhabitants, and carry out missions that push the plot forward, along with side quests. On the way, we recruit new team members who provide us with indispensable support, and we also develop characters, so that over time we can face increasingly bigger challenges.

Fights against opponents play an important role here, since combat has undergone a complete overhaul. Unlike the first Fairy Tail, battles are not turn-based and instead they are in real time. During the clashes we load a special indicator, the filling of which gives us access to powerful spells. Some characters can also activate the "Mode Change" function. Its skillful use can change the fate of many skirmishes.

GameOnly: 3 / 5 by Kamil Kozakowski

During the game, I had a really good moments, as the battles with bosses can be very satisfying. The interesting combat system and well-designed characters and bosses are unfortunately not enough. A good RPG should also have an interesting world, engaging side quests, and diverse locations. Unfortunately, Fairy Tail 2 lacks all of this, appearing as if it was made in a haste. It's a pity because the game had a lot of potential that was not properly utilized by its creators.

Digitally Downloaded: 4 / 5 by Matt Sainsbury

The long-and-short of Fairy Tail 2 is that it’s a perfectly competent JRPG by one of the true specialists of the genre. It’s not going to be remembered as Gust’s finest work, and is more of a play-and-forget experience. This is a year that has given us everything from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to Metaphor, a mind-blowingly good remake of Romancing SaGa 2 and, arguably, the finest Yakuza game yet with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. In comparison to all of that Fairy Tail’s by-the-numbers approach will seem routine. But it’s also got all the hallmarks we come to expect from Gust – this is comfort food gaming for JRPG enthusiasts, using strong material well. Sometimes, that’s all you need.

The Outerhaven Productions: 3.5 / 5 by Scott Adams

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.
