If you're a fan of JRPGs, you're likely already familiar with the renowned publisher Kemco, known for delivering a plethora of cult classics from Japan. They've consistently rolled out new and intriguing releases, and their latest addition, Alphadia III, couldn't have come at a better time—just in time for the weekend.
If the name rings a bell, chances are you've already immersed yourself in the worlds of Alphadia I and II. However, Alphadia III doesn't follow their storyline but serves as a prequel, set before the Energi War saga depicted in the previous installments. This time, you follow the journey of an Energi clone named Alfonso as he seeks to discover his freedom.
Building on the deep turn-based combat system of its predecessors, Alphadia III introduces SP Skills—game-changers in battle—alongside a host of new mechanics like Arrays and Energi Crocks. Not only that, but you'll also command your own ship, which you can upgrade into a seaplane for an even more thrilling adventure!
SP Skills, a staple in many other titles like Dragon Quest, add a fresh tactical layer to your gameplay. The Energi Crock allows you to recycle magical items into Energi, while Arrays offer expanded strategic options during combat.
Alphadia III certainly enriches the mechanics introduced in the earlier entries. Although some fans might feel nostalgic about revisiting the past rather than advancing the timeline, the game provides a fresh take on the Energi War saga. With its stunning pixel graphics, there's even more content to dive into and enjoy.
