Today marks the global release of Alphadia III on Android, the third installment in the acclaimed Alphadia series, brought to you by KEMCO and developed by EXE CREATE. After its initial launch in Japan last October, fans worldwide can now dive into this engaging RPG.
What’s the Story in Alphadia III?
In the year 970 of the Alphadian calendar, Alphadia III plunges players into the climactic phase of the Energi War, a monumental struggle for control over a mysterious life force known as energi. The world is divided into three major powers: the Schwarzschild Empire in the north, the Nordsheim Kingdom to the west, and the Luminea Alliance in the east, each vying for dominance.
As the conflict reaches its breaking point, enter Alfonso, a clone soldier whose life changes with the arrival of Tarte, a girl bearing news of another clone's death. This pivotal moment sets Alfonso on a transformative journey that could alter the fate of the world.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
Alphadia III retains the beloved turn-based combat system viewed from a side perspective, all rendered in charming pixel art. Players can utilize SP Skills, which charge up during battle and, when used at the right moment, can significantly shift the tide of combat in your favor.
The game introduces Arrays, battle formations and strategies that unlock as you progress, offering varied approaches to combat tailored to the enemies you face. A novel feature is the Energi Crock, where you can deposit spare items gathered during your travels. Over time, this Crock generates Energi Elements, which you can exchange for valuable gear or other items at in-game shops.
Throughout your adventure, you'll encounter various factions, including the peacekeeping alliance Deval and the elite Nordsheim military unit Rosenkreutz. You'll also meet different models of energi clones, such as the Berger Series from Nordsheim and the Delta Series from Schwarzschild.
Beyond the compelling main storyline, Alphadia III offers a wealth of side content to explore, and it's optimized for controller use. You can purchase the full version from the Google Play Store for $7.99, or opt for the freemium version, which includes ads.
