- Alphadia III launches today on Android and iOS

- This prequel explores the origin story of Energi clone Alfonso

- Features innovative tactical combat and fresh mechanics for the series

JRPG enthusiasts will immediately recognize publisher Kemco, known for bringing cult Japanese classics to mobile platforms. Their newest release, Alphadia III, arrives just in time for weekend gaming sessions.

Series veterans will recall playing through Alphadia I and II. Rather than continuing the narrative, Alphadia III rewinds to events preceding the Energi War storylines of previous games, focusing on an Energi clone named Alfonso seeking liberation.

The game maintains the signature turn-based combat system while introducing SP Skills for strategic battleswings, along with brand-new mechanics like Arrays and Energi Crocks. Players also get to command their own customizable vessel, eventually upgradable to a seaplane!

While SP Skills appear in other franchises like Dragon Quest, their implementation here adds fresh tactical depth. The Energi Crock system transforms magical items into Energi resources, while Arrays provide expanded combat strategies.

Alphadia III evolves the series' mechanics meaningfully, though some fans might prefer narrative progression over historical exploration. Nevertheless, it offers compelling new insights into the defining Energi War conflict, wrapped in beautifully crafted pixel art graphics.
