Alphadia III has officially launched today on Android for global players, marking the third installment in the beloved Alphadia series. Developed by EXE CREATE and published by KEMCO, the game initially debuted in Japan back in October of last year.
What’s the Story in Alphadia III?
Set in the year 970 of the Alphadian calendar, Alphadia III plunges you into the climactic moments of the Energi War, a monumental conflict centered around 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 control over this vital resource.
As the situation teeters on the brink of collapse, a clone soldier named Alfonso steps into the fray. The plot thickens when a young girl named Tarte arrives with news of another clone's death, sparking a pivotal moment for Alfonso and setting the story in motion.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
Alphadia III retains the classic turn-based combat system viewed from the side, presented in a charming pixel art style. The game introduces several strategic elements, including SP Skills that build up during battles and can turn the tide when deployed at the right moment. Additionally, Arrays offer various battle formations and strategies that unlock as you progress, allowing for diverse combat approaches based on the enemies you face.
A novel feature is the Energi Crock, where you can deposit spare items during your journey. Over time, it transforms these into Energi Elements, which you can exchange for equipment or other useful items at in-game shops.
Throughout the game, you'll encounter various factions, such as the peacekeeping alliance Deval and the elite military unit Rosenkreutz from Nordsheim. There are also different energi clone models, with Nordsheim deploying the Berger Series and Schwarzschild utilizing the Delta Series.
Beyond the main narrative, 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.
