FullMetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel is an action role-playing game that follows the adventures of two brothers: Edward Elric, a gifted young alchemist who is missing an arm and a leg, and Alphonse Elric, whose spirit was transferred to a powerful suit of armor when his whole body was compromised. The two boys were maimed when performing a forbidden ritual to return their lost mother to life, and now they quest to find the powerful magic stone that can restore their own bodies. Combat occurs in real-time, though good strategy before a fight can make all the difference; Edward can use his powers to transmute ordinary objects into powerful weapons, and it's always good to be prepared in the unpredictable urban and interior environments the boys must traverse. The game is based on a Japanese animated television series, which could be seen on the Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" at the time of the game's release.
