If you're a fan of JRPGs, you're likely well-acquainted with publisher Kemco, known for bringing a variety of cult classics from Japan to the gaming world. Their latest release, Alphadia III, is now available on Android and iOS, perfectly timed for your weekend gaming sessions.
If the name rings a bell, chances are you've already explored Alphadia I and II. However, Alphadia III doesn't follow their storyline but instead serves as a prequel, delving into the events before the Energi War saga. This installment follows the journey of an Energi clone named Alfonso as he seeks his freedom.
The game retains the deep turn-based combat system fans loved in the original games, featuring SP Skills that can dramatically shift the tide of battle. But Alphadia III introduces new mechanics to the series, such as Arrays and Energi Crocks. Arrays enhance your strategic options during combat, while Energi Crocks allow you to recycle magical items into Energi. Additionally, players can enjoy the freedom of navigating the game world with their own ship, which can be upgraded into a seaplane!
Fly high with your upgraded seaplane! SP Skills, a staple in many JRPGs like Dragon Quest, add a fresh layer of tactical gameplay. Meanwhile, the Energi Crocks and Arrays introduce innovative ways to manage resources and strategize in battles.
Alphadia III builds upon the mechanics established in the first two games, though some fans might miss the forward progression of the storyline. Nonetheless, it offers a fresh perspective on the Energi War, complemented by stunning pixel graphics that enrich your gaming experience.
