About FAIRY TAIL INDIE GAME GUILD
The Kodansha Creators’ Lab has publicly announced the creation of their FAIRY TAIL-themed project, “FAIRY TAIL INDIE GAME GUILD.” FAIRY TAIL INDIE GAME GUILD will release FAIRY TAIL: DUNGEONS and FAIRY TAIL: Beach Volleyball Havoc on Steam on Monday, August 26th, 2024 and Monday, September 16, 2024, respectively. Both titles are available to wishlist now.

The winner of the contest will have their artwork featured in FAIRY TAIL: Beach Volleyball Havoc.
FAIRY TAIL: DUNGEONS to be Released on Steam on August 26, 2024
FAIRY TAIL: DUNGEONS is a deck building roguelite that features FAIRY TAIL characters. The 5 playable characters include Natsu, Lucy, and Gray, each with special abilities. Collect magic cards from the original FAIRY TAIL to make decks, and defeat powerful monsters to reach the deepest part of the dungeon.
Natsu and Happy find a mysterious door that suddenly appeared below the guild. On the other side of that door lies a strange dungeon that robs any intruders of their abilities. There they are saved from monsters by Labi. Together they try to reach the deepest part of the dungeon to find Labi’s friends.
The final boss was specially designed by Hiro Mashima himself.
Players have a limited number of turns to explore the dungeon as they battle foes and acquire items to choose their path.
Attack, defend, and use magic with your deck of magic cards during battle. Trigger special effects such as Magic Chains that boost damage by ordering the cards correctly.
Acquire new cards to make the deck stronger using rewards and treasure earned from battle. Gain experience to become stronger and face even stronger foes.
Choose between Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Wendy. Go for balanced offense and defense with Natsu, show off the special effects of Celestial Spirit magic with Lucy, or use the strategic and colorful Molding magic of Gray. Fighting style and abilities are different for each of the five characters. Discover the strategies that suit each character and advance by dominating in battle.
Progress the story to form a party of 3 to take on the Labyrinth Depths. Each character’s special abilities will synergize differently with different parties, adding even more depth and enjoyment to the battle system.
