Today marks an exciting day for mobile gamers worldwide as Alphadia III officially launches on Android. Developed by EXE CREATE and published by KEMCO, this third installment in the popular Alphadia series first debuted in Japan last October. Now, global players can dive into this epic adventure.
Set in the year 970 of the Alphadian calendar, Alphadia III immerses players in the climactic stages of the Energi War, a monumental conflict revolving around the control of a mysterious life force known as energi. The geopolitical landscape is dominated by 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 supremacy.
The narrative takes a pivotal turn with the introduction of Alfonso, a clone soldier whose life changes dramatically after a visit from a girl named Tarte, who informs him of another clone's demise. This revelation sets Alfonso on a transformative journey that could alter the course of the war.
Alphadia III retains the series' traditional turn-based combat system, presented in a charming side-view pixel art style. Players can leverage SP Skills, which accumulate during battles and can significantly shift the tide of combat when deployed strategically.
Another key feature is the Arrays system, which allows players to unlock various battle formations and strategies as they progress. These Arrays provide tactical flexibility, enabling players to adapt to different combat scenarios effectively.
A novel addition to the gameplay is the Energi Crock, a mechanism where players can deposit surplus items. Over time, these items are converted into Energi Elements, which can be exchanged for equipment or other valuable items at in-game shops.
Throughout your journey, you'll encounter various factions and groups such as Deval, a peacekeeping alliance, and elite military units like Rosenkreutz from Nordsheim. The game also features different energi clone models, with Nordsheim deploying the Berger Series and Schwarzschild utilizing the Delta Series.
In addition to the main storyline, Alphadia III offers a wealth of side content, ensuring players have plenty to explore. The game is also optimized for controller use, enhancing the gaming experience. You can purchase the full version on the Google Play Store for $7.99, or opt for the freemium version with ads.
