Hiro Mashima Fairy Tail may well be the most globally known manga series. Since its inception as a serial in 2006, it has become accessible in print to English speaking fans. And before the recent movie that brought Lucy Heartfilia’s adventures to mainstream pop culture, the Fairy Tail universe also exists as three original video animations and countless fairy tail games.
One of these days they ought to make another Fairy Tail movie with a mash-up of ideas gleaned from the games available for free or for a few dollars’ worth. The games have spawned some pretty interesting permutations. Here are some of the more prominent ones.
10. Fairy Tail Fighting
In addition to the new mobile game, GameSamba and Funimation previously announced an upcoming web-based free-to-play MMORPG based on “Fairy Tail.” NGames will also work with the two companies to help develop that title. The new mobile and web games will be independent of each other.
This very straightforward online game was developed by freegameswow. So far, there are 94% thumbs up and 6% thumbs down from the roster of individuals who played the game for free. We totally understand the thumbs up because there’s some really great fighting going on and some very villainous demons. As for the very few thumbs down, they didn’t exactly say why they didn’t like it.
9. Fairy Tail Card Game- Deviant Art Project
This talented individual made a deck of cards for a Fairy Tale card game he created. This school project cum Dragon Con entry already got a couple of people started in the manga after playing the game. How cool is that?
8. Fairy Tails vs One Piece
More than anything, this is a rivalry of plots and fanbase. Fairies (nay, witches and warlocks) vs. Pirates. A multi-dimentional plot vs. One solid plot. Manga vs. Manga. Who wins depends on which anime you follow.
7. Fairy Tails Mobile Game?
The question is, did they or didn’t they? Two years ago, anticipation was high for a Fairy Tail mobile game that was supposed to be developed by Square Enix. There is always a demand for the next new Fairy Tail installment—whether manga, video, or movie. How about the next big online game?

6. Fairy Tail Gekitotsu! Kardia Daideidou

5. Fairy Tails Portable Guild

3. Fairy Tail- Zelef Kakuse

2. Fairy Tail Mobile Jigsaw
This mobile jigsaw puzzle game from Black Box Studio was released in 2011 and works for iOS 3.0 mobile devices. There are a total of 64 stages to this game and three levels of difficulty. There’s no fighting whatsoever, and if there are, these are probably just captures of battles fought and won.
1. Fairy Tails for iPad and iPhone
So where are the fight sequences with demons and nemesis of similar sorts? This game from TiniDreamStudios is a sort of tribute to the “fairy” side of Fairy Tail for a change since it is all about breeding animals (monkey, flamingo, kangaroo, etc.) and tending to entire forests. Not trees, but forests and entire habitats for the animals. Taking care of the exotic fauna has great rewards. They show off antics that make you laugh, and they lead you to other animals more exotic than they are (Unicorns? Griffins? Dragons perhaps?). This game is especially formulated for the iPad, iPod3 and iPhone 3 and an iOS 4.0 at the least. And the best thing is it’s free and does not come with adverts.
