KOEI TECMO Europe and developer GUST Studios has revealed five new playable characters and further details of the intense magic battle systems in their upcoming JRPG, FAIRY TAIL, available Spring 2020 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC. Based on the anime and manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima, players will be able to follow the seriesβ enchanting storyline from the popular Tenrou Island arc through to the Tartaros arc, along with all-new original episodes.
FAIRY TAIL will see Natsu and the team fight against a variety of foes in their quest to become the No. 1 guild in Fiore. Battle parties consist of up to five mages, allowing fan-favourite characters to combine together to perform impressive magical attacks displayed across a three-by-three battlefield grid. Each move deals a certain amount of damage across the tiles β choosing appropriate attacks can ensure a swift victory over troublesome enemies. By dealing damage, players will fill up the βFairy Gaugeβ. This special βMagic Chainβ attack allows each party member to deal a combo of attacks before unleashing a powerful finisher β sometimes strong characters, like the beloved Guild Leader Makarov, may even jump in to deal devastating damage with their βExtreme Magicβ.
When the ally party comes under heavy damage and are in a pinch, characters can awaken dormant abilities for a few turns, drastically increasing their powers. Some mages even have access to whole new attacks β Dragon Slayers can use βDragon Forceβ instead of their βAwakenedβ abilities, while some mages can perform a βMode Changeβ offering a wealth of new battle options. Natsuβs renowned βLightning Fire Dragonβs Iron Fistβ is an example of the enhanced abilities that can be performed. Some mages are even able to unite together to perform mighty combination attacks, known as a βUnison Raidβ, triggering a special βUnison Raidβ cutscene right before unleashing the incredible attack against oncoming foes.
To assist in battle, GUST Studios announced five new playable characters joining the fray — not from FAIRY TAIL but from rival guilds in Fiore. New characters include the βSky God Slayerβ Sherria Blendy from Lamia Scale, the βStrongest Fencerβ Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel, the βHandsomeβ Blue Pegasus mage Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, and the βWhite Dragonβ Sting Eucliffe and βShadow Dragonβ Rogue Cheney from Sabertooth. These exciting new additions to the cast join the previously announced Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, Gajeel Redfox and Juvia Lockser β all battle-ready with powerful magic abilities. With more than 12 playable characters available, players will able to form a dream team with FAIRY TAIL members and their rivals and set off on an adventure like never before.
FAIRY TAIL is available to pre-order now from GAME and independent retailers through Centresoft.
