Play Fullmetal Alchemist : Omoide No Sonata Online

Fullmetal Alchemist: Omoide no Sonata came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, published by Bandai. It was part of that wave of games based on popular anime, arriving when the GBA library was full of action RPGs and platformers. You don't see many people talking about it now, but it was a solid entry if you were a fan of the series and wanted a portable adventure with the Elric brothers.

You control Edward Elric, and sometimes Alphonse, moving through areas screen by screen. The main goal is to investigate a mysterious melody and the strange events surrounding it, which involves a lot of dungeon exploration. You use Ed's automail for combat, a mix of straightforward attacks and special alchemy skills you can trigger with button combinations. Navigating the environments requires some light puzzle solving, often using alchemy to create platforms or clear paths. The pacing is deliberate, with backtracking through earlier areas once you learn new abilities, and the difficulty feels fair, though some boss encounters demand quick reflexes. Playing it feels like a condensed, hands on version of the show's world, where you are the one performing the alchemy.
