KEMCO's Alphadia III: Global Android Release

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, each vying for control.

As the conflict reaches its breaking point, the narrative introduces us to Alfonso, a clone soldier whose life takes a dramatic turn following a visit from a girl named Tarte. She brings news of another clone's death, sparking a pivotal moment that sets 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 nostalgic pixel art style. The game features several mechanics, 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 tactical battle formations that unlock as you progress, offering varied approaches to combat based on the enemies you face. A novel feature, the Energi Crock, allows players to convert surplus items into Energi Elements over time, which can then 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 full version of the game on the Google Play Store for $7.99, or opt for the freemium version on Android, which includes ads.
