The game has a volumetric liquid system, where blood drenches the surroundings when the player slice up the enemies multiple times in a frenzied attack. Some critics were more positive about it, such as Games Master magazine in the UK, which called it "a likeable, if slight, slice of gory Brothers Grimm gaming". Andy Eddy of Team Xbox also added that Fairytale Fights's "annoyingly bad game design" held it back from being a better game. Fairytale Fights was nominated for Best Audio Design, Best Visual Design and Best Console game of 2009-2010, taking home both the awards for Best Audio Design and Best Visual Design..
