“Zanzarah really manages to keep you in front of the screen. You'll frequently catch yourself going for just one more fairy or quickly train for two levels so your Tadana will evolve into Aquana. This concept already worked great for Pokémon and it also applies to catching fairies.”

“This game manages to attract the player so that he cannot leave the computer. Superb and detailed graphics, lovely music, a coherent and interesting story on one side and gameplay originality on the other side prove this.”

“This technically great genre-mix of adventure and Pokémon aspects is convincing through diversity and really good ideas.”
