Today marks the global release of Alphadia III on Android, the third installment in the beloved Alphadia series. Brought to you by publisher KEMCO and developer EXE CREATE, the game initially launched 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 players into the climactic phase of the Energi War, a monumental struggle over a mysterious life force known as energi. The world is split among three major powers: the Schwarzschild Empire in the north, the Nordsheim Kingdom in the west, and the Luminea Alliance in the east, all vying for control.
As the conflict reaches its breaking point, the narrative introduces a clone soldier named Alfonso. The story takes a pivotal turn when a girl named Tarte arrives with news of another clone's death, sparking a profound change in Alfonso's perspective and setting the stage for the unfolding drama.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
Alphadia III retains the classic turn-based combat system viewed from a side perspective, rendered in charming pixel art. The game features several systems, including SP Skills that accumulate during battles and can dramatically shift the tide of combat when used strategically.
Players can also utilize Arrays, which are battle formations and strategies that unlock as you progress, offering varied approaches to combat based on the enemies you face.
A novel feature is the Energi Crock, where players can deposit surplus items. Over time, this Crock generates Energi Elements, which can be exchanged for equipment or other valuable items at in-game shops.
Throughout your journey, you'll encounter various factions such as the peacekeeping alliance Deval and the elite military unit Rosenkreutz from Nordsheim. Additionally, you'll come across different energi clone models, including 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 game on the Google Play Store for $7.99, or opt for the freemium version on Android, which includes ads.
