Gameplay

Stray Rondo runs on a turn based system with four command options per turn. Edward chooses between Attack, Alchemy, Items, and Handbook, while Alphonse works from Attack, Special Moves, and Items. Ed's alchemical repertoire spans fifty distinct moves split across four categories: Metal, Nature, Stone, and Darkness, putting more weight on picking the right elemental response than on raw stat grinding.

Story

The game follows Edward and Alphonse Elric early in their travels as they chase leads tied to the Philosopher's Stone, framing an original adventure that runs parallel to the manga and anime rather than retelling either one directly.

Release

Bandai published Stray Rondo in Japan on March 25, 2004, developed by Tom Create. It never received an official English localization, a fact many fans found surprising given the size of the series' Western following at the time; a fan translation eventually filled that gap.
