IT’S FAIRY TAIL, NOT FAIRY TALE An anime spanning over 300 episodes, with a few video game adaptions. There’s no denying Fairy Tail has been successful.

When I first sat down to play Desperados III, I knew roughly what to expect. A real-time tactics game with an emphasis on stealth and clever execution of your squad’s abilities.
