Fullmetal Battle Coming To iOs, Browsers and Android, First trailer and screen
Good Game Productions and FUNimation Entertainment announced today a brand new iOS and browser-based game based on the popular anime series “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.” The turn-based RPG fighting game, called Fullmetal Battle, will launch this summer on iPhone, iPad, Android and browsers (Facebook).
“FUNimation and Good Game Productions teamed up to bring fans the opportunity to battle in the rich Fullmetal Alchemist universe. As both fans and longtime followers of the show, we hope to appeal to our loyal fans and to expose new fans to this show which continues to resonate with so many people,” said FUNimation president and CEO Gen Fukunaga.
Fullmetal Battle is a fast-paced, turn based group RPG that will capture longtime fans of the series and newcomers alike. Players will design their own state licensed alchemists and choose from a vast array of abilities and effects inspired by the “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood” : series to arm themselves for battle. Players can challenge popular Full Metal Alchemist characters-including favorites Alphonse and Edward Elric—while receiving helpful tips and advice from Roy Mustang. Players band together with fellow alchemists in three vs. three battles, but will level independently through skills and attributes. With unique access to special potions and single-use items, players have the opportunity to upgrade their core Alchemy transmutation circles that are central to the game. In addition, gamers have the option to recruit friends and fight with or against them in action-packed clashes!
The anime series is adapted from the manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution and set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man. The story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.
To restore what was lost, the brothers scour a war-torn land for the Philosopher’s Stone, a fabled relic which grants the ability to perform alchemy in impossible ways. The manga has been a consistent top-seller for years while the anime just ended its highly rated run on the late-night [adultswim] block.
“We are huge fans of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, so to have this opportunity to work on the game is extremely exciting,” said Grantley Day, Founder and CEO of Good Game Productions. “Fans of trading card and turn-based RPG’s will love the fast pace, the extensive customization and the rich storyline of Fullmetal Battle.”

I’ve been a gamer for a while now and a FullMetal fan even longer! I was really excited to come
across this game! One thing I was worried about was the game being based on a trading card style. I was not familiar with this kind of play. After a little time getting to know the game I fell in love. It has been getting progressively better with updates. There is a lot of online playing which is great. I loved the fact that it is free to play with the option of buying item cards, philosopher stones which add boosts or help add experience to the player’s card. This game plays to a niche of people who love the anime, but it is easy enough that anyone can play it. Overall, this game is getting better and better! I’m happy to write a review. It is definitely an App that should be kept on the radar! It is not a really fancy game with graphics blasted into your face, but is well done. Research proved that the developer keeps to a traditional card game with a nice flare. Overall, this game is entertaining and steadily growing!
