The next chapter in the beloved JRPG saga from the masters of the genre has just been written, but this time, we’re going back to where it all began.
Alphadia III, is a new prequel story and this beautiful fantasy RPG from developer Exe Create and the prolific publisher KEMCO is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC for £16.74.
Prepare to journey back to the time of the Energi War, in a deep, turn-based adventure that introduces a host of new mechanics to the classic formula.
The Energi War
Alphadia III takes place before the events of the first two games, during the devastating Energi War—a conflict fueled by humanity’s lust for life energy. In the midst of this chaos, an energi clone named Alfonso begins to question everything. With nothing but his doubts and his determination, he sets off on a journey to uncover meaning in a world consumed by power.

A Classic Formula with New Twists
At its heart, this is a classic JRPG with deep turn-based combat. This new entry introduces a host of new mechanics, including powerful SP Skills that can shift the tide of battle, and new strategic Arrays to expand your options.
A new Energi Crock system allows you to put your unused items into a special crock to create Energi Elements, which can then be exchanged for rare items. In a fantastic new twist, you can also upgrade your ship into a seaplane during your journey, which even has its own shops on board! On top of all that, classic features like the mission board and the arena also make their return.
Like a Comfy Pair of JRPG Slippers
We are huge fans of the Alphadia series. When we played the previous collection, we were completely won over by its classic charm. In our glowing 4/5 review of Alphadia I & II, we said:
“And while familiarity can breed contempt, in this case it is more like settling down and slipping on a comfy pair of slippers, before taking in a couple of great stories.“
Alphadia III looks set to be another wonderfully comfy pair of slippers for JRPG fans to slip into.
