Alphadia III: KEMCO's Global Android RPG Release

Alphadia III is now officially available on Android for players worldwide, marking the highly anticipated third chapter in the beloved Alphadia series. Developed by EXE CREATE and published by KEMCO, the game originally launched in Japan in October of last year and has finally made its global debut. With its rich narrative, retro-inspired visuals, and deep turn-based combat, Alphadia III invites both longtime fans and newcomers into a war-torn world shaped by power, identity, and a mysterious energy force known as energi.

What’s the Story in Alphadia III?

Set in the year Alphadian 970, the game unfolds during the final, chaotic stages of the Energi War—a global conflict sparked by the争夺 over a powerful life force known as energi. The world is divided among three dominant factions: the militaristic Schwarzschild Empire in the north, the strategic Nordsheim Kingdom in the west, and the progressive Luminea Alliance in the east. As tensions reach a breaking point, the fragile balance of power begins to collapse.

You step into the boots of Alfonso, a clone soldier designed for combat, whose life takes a dramatic turn when a young girl named Tarte delivers the news of a fellow clone’s death. This moment becomes the catalyst for Alfonso’s journey, awakening questions about his identity, purpose, and the morality of the war he was built to fight. As the story progresses, players uncover deeper layers of the conflict, the origins of the clone soldiers, and the true nature of energi itself.

What’s the Gameplay Like?

Alphadia III stays true to its roots with side-view, turn-based combat rendered in classic pixel art style. The gameplay blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern mechanics, offering a satisfying strategic experience. A key feature is the SP Skill system—abilities that charge during battle and can turn the tide when used at the right moment. Timing and positioning are crucial, making each encounter a test of tactical thinking.

The game introduces Arrays, dynamic battle formations that unlock as you progress. These formations provide unique stat boosts and combat advantages, allowing you to customize your approach based on enemy types and mission objectives. Whether you're facing elite units or large-scale battles, Arrays add depth to your strategy.

A new addition to the series is the Energi Crock—a unique crafting and resource system. As you explore, you can deposit spare items into the Crock, which gradually converts them into Energi Elements over time. These elements can then be traded at exchange shops for powerful gear, upgrades, and rare items, adding a rewarding layer of resource management.

Throughout your journey, you’ll encounter various factions, including Deval, a peacekeeping alliance striving to end the war, and Rosenkreutz, an elite military unit from Nordsheim. The game also explores the different models of energi clones—such as the Berger Series from Nordsheim and the Delta Series from Schwarzschild—each with their own abilities and backstories.

Beyond the main campaign, Alphadia III offers a wealth of side quests, hidden areas, and collectibles to keep players engaged. The game is fully optimized for controller use, enhancing the overall experience on mobile devices. Available on the Google Play Store for $7.99, there's also a freemium version supported by ads for those who want to try before they commit.
