❤ Deck Building and Character Progression

Players collect Magic Cards based on attacks and abilities from the Fairy Tail series to build their own unique deck. Each of the five playable characters - Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Wendy - has their own distinct fighting style and strengths. For example, Lucy focuses on summoning her Celestial Spirits, while Gray utilizes diverse molding magic. Over successive runs, players can unlock and save up to four "tomes" per character, allowing them to permanently upgrade the character's abilities before diving back into the dungeon.

❤ Dungeon Exploration and Combat

The core gameplay loop involves exploring a solo dungeon, using the cards in your deck to attack enemies, defend against incoming damage, and cast powerful magic. Players have around 10 moves to navigate the map before reaching the boss battle, encountering normal battles, elite battles, campfires to rest and upgrade your deck, shops to purchase new cards, and various events along the way. The combat system relies on carefully playing a hand of 4 cards per turn, with the option to redraw one card at the cost of 5 HP. Chaining together specific card combos triggers "Magic Chains" that deal punishing amounts of damage.

❤ Team-Based Dungeons

After making progress in the solo dungeon, players can assemble a team of 3 characters they've trained and venture into the "Labyrinth Depths" team-based dungeon. Here, they can find tomes to further enhance their team's capabilities, leading up to an original final boss battle designed by Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima.

❤ Replayability and Meta-Progression

"Fairy Tail: Dungeons" is structured as a rogue-lite, encouraging players to repeatedly run through the dungeon. Each run earns points that unlock new labyrinths to explore, as well as powerful amulets to aid in future attempts. Even when players are defeated, the progress made contributes to permanent upgrades, ensuring that each successive run feels meaningful. The diverse character abilities and strategic deck-building options provide ample replayability for fans of the genre.
