Wild ARMs is a wild-west style adventure set on the world of Filgaia. It follows the adventure of Rudy Roughnight, Cecilia Lynne Adlehyde, and Jack Van Burace as they seek to restore their dying world against the alien menace of the Quarter Knights and the evil Mother.
The game is a mix of action-adventure mechanics and traditional turn-based combat, using individual character skills to solve dungeon traps, while combat plays out on a 3D battle screen using an assortment of spells and attacks. Perhaps most remembered for its animated intro by Studio Madhouse and music by Michiko Naruke, the game spawned multiple sequels and remakes, and is considered a classic of the original Sony PlayStation library.
