Today marks the global Android release of Alphadia III, the latest installment in the acclaimed Alphadia series, brought to you by KEMCO and developed by EXE CREATE. Originally launched in Japan in October of last year, this game is set to captivate players worldwide.
What’s the Story in Alphadia III?
Dive into the heart of the Energi War set in Alphadian Year 970, a pivotal time where the fate of the world hangs in the balance over the control of a mysterious life force known as energi. The world is split among three dominant powers: the Schwarzschild Empire in the north, the Nordsheim Kingdom in the west, and the Luminea Alliance in the east, each vying for supremacy.
The narrative takes a dramatic turn with the introduction of a clone soldier named Alfonso. His world is shaken when a girl named Tarte arrives with news of a fellow clone's death, setting off a chain of events that propels the story forward.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
Alphadia III embraces the classic turn-based combat system viewed from a side perspective, rendered in nostalgic pixel art. Players can leverage SP Skills, which charge during battles and can dramatically shift the tide of combat when used strategically.
The game introduces Arrays, which are tactical battle formations and strategies that unlock progressively, offering varied approaches to combat based on the enemies faced.
A unique feature is the Energi Crock, where players can deposit spare items to generate Energi Elements over time. These elements can then be exchanged at in-game shops for equipment and other valuable items.
Players will encounter various factions, including the peacekeeping alliance Deval and the elite military unit Rosenkreutz from Nordsheim. Additionally, there are different energi clone models, such as the Berger Series from Nordsheim and the Delta Series from Schwarzschild.
Beyond the main storyline, Alphadia III offers a wealth of side content and is optimized for controller use. You can purchase the full version on the Google Play Store for $7.99, or opt for the freemium version on Android, which includes ads.
