JRPG enthusiasts likely know publisher Kemco well, renowned for bringing Japanese cult classics to international audiences. Their latest release, Alphadia III, arrives just in time for weekend gaming sessions.
If Alphadia sounds familiar, you've probably played the first two installments. Rather than continuing the story, Alphadia III serves as a prequel to the Energi War saga, focusing on Alfonso's journey toward self-discovery.
The game retains the strategic turn-based combat of its predecessors while introducing new elements like SP Skills, Arrays, and Energi Crocks. Players can even customize their own ship, which evolves into a seaplane through upgrades.
FlyhighWhile SP Skills appear in titles like Dragon Quest, their implementation here offers fresh tactical possibilities. The Energi Crock system converts magical items into energy, and Arrays provide additional combat strategies.
Though some fans might prefer chronological progression, Alphadia III expands the series' lore by exploring events preceding the Energi War. The game's stunning pixel art provides another reason to dive into this rich narrative world.
