Fairy Tail is finally getting an adaptation on console this summer and fans of the series have been excited to get their hands on it. Developer Tecmo Koei has revealed a new look at the upcoming game—give the latest trailer some love!
Fairy Tail will be utilizing something called Unison Raids during battles. Fans of the series will recognize Unison Raids from the show and comic, but here’s how Koei Tecmo explains its function within the game:
In FAIRY TAIL, 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.
There will also be a mechanic called Extreme Magic Spells:
In addition, 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.Also, 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 utilize 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.
