KOEI TECMO Unveils New Gameplay Details for FAIRY TAIL Game

The worldwide release of KOEI TECMO and GUST’s FAIRY TAIL videogame adaptation of the popular manga and anime series of the same name is drawing ever closer and with that being said the publisher have today revealed some additional gameplay details; such as Unison Raid and Extreme Magic Spells.

Within FAIRY TAIL magic spells destruction and the latest information reveals that players can combine magical attacks to perform Unison Raid and Extreme Magic Spells. In addition an Awakening Gauge will increase during regular combat to unlock an Awakening Mode that will deliver even more powerful attacks. Those already familiar with FAIRY TAIL lore should have an idea on what these Awakening Modes will achieve.

Unison Raid: Characters can now combine in a Unison Raid to unleash their magic spells at once to overpower enemies. This Unison Raid ability originally premiered in the FAIRY TAIL anime and manga, but in the game, all new magic and character team-ups will be featured, introducing exciting new powers from never before seen character combinations.

Extreme Magic Spells: A series of Extreme Magic Spells will also be introduced, including Kanna’s Fairy Glitter – which can be activated when magic attacks are combined, Makarov’s “Giant” magic, and even a spell known as Exceed Special, which will help your party out in times of terrible trouble. Each magic spell carries unique elemental properties and affinities, with magic dealing more damage to specific opponents. Characters can then upgrade their magic spells by gaining experience points throughout their journey.

Awakening Mode: By using magic attacks during battle, the party’s Awakening Gauge increases. When the gauge is fully filled, characters can be Awakened, enabling them to utilise even more powerful magical abilities – and with each character employing different Awakening Modes, players will be able to expand their strategies across a broad range of sorceries and enemies.

FAIRY TAIL will be available physically and digitally for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as well as digitally on STEAM from 30th July 2020.
