Fairy Tail is a singleplayer third-person JRPG game developed by Gust Co. Ltd. and published by Koei Tecmo. The game is based on the popular anime series Fairy Tail.

The game released on July 30, 2020 on Steam. In a port analysis written by Kurt Perry for PC Invasion, the title was described as "a capable port that plays at a smooth 60 FPS with very few performance issues", although "it could be argued that the port is a little overly simplistic and lacking in some of the standard PC options we’ve gotten used to".^[1]

Remapping

Change controller keybindings through a config file
Navigate to `<path-to-game>`. Open `game.ini` in a text editor. Look for the `[PadKeyAssign]` line to make changes below it. For example, to rebind the "Α" to the "B" button, edit `CROSS=CROSS` to `CROSS=CIRCLE` Only DualShock 4 keys are available to be assigned but they get applied accordingly to XInput controllers. Save the file and start the game.

An official way has been added with a patch. This portion has been retained for manual editing past the in-game menu.^[5]
