'Alphadia Genesis' (ALL) Gets PC Release Date

by Rainier on Jan. 5, 2015 @ 8:35 a.m. PST

Alphadia Genesis is a JRPG with an extensive playing time, a deep and immersive storyline, an expansive world, a wide range of quests, powerful battle scenes, formidable dungeons, and beautiful-but-melancholic music.

Lagoon: a quiet, peaceful world, and a world where the life energy known as 'Energi' is abundant. In the past, humans fought with each other over this Energi, craving it for their own ambitions. In the end, this fighting led to the conflict known as the 'Energi War'.

Finally, exhausted from the war, humans laid down their weapons and called an end to the conflict. However, a difficult question remained: the question of what should be done with the 'clones', artificial life forms created for fighting. In the end, though, a decision was reached. The clones were programmed with a control code to remove their ability to fight, and they lived alongside humans.

Fifteen years later… the clones are supposed to be under control, but suddenly, a shocking incident occurs: one of the clones kills its master. Two of the lands which have in the past been hostile enemies come to regard this incident as a threat to the peaceful existence of the human race, and cooperate to form a survey party to investigate the incident. Frey and his survey party journey around the whole of Lagoon investigating the mystery surrounding why the clones ran amok, but in doing so they come across a horrifying plot that threatens to lead to a disaster even greater than that of the Energi War…

The rich characters and engrossing plot are perfect for those looking for immersive, narrative driven gameplay, and the 16-bit style bears resemblance to classic RPGs of the ‘90s. Graphically, the game displays both tradition and innovation, as the action shifts from 2D to 3D during its tactical turn based battle sequences.

We can’t wait for the Steam Community to get their hands on Alphadia Genesis” says Jonathan Nevill, Project Manager, Marvelous Games. “It’s a great game for JRPG enthusiasts to get stuck into. Good luck to those that aim to 100% the game content, and reach the TRUE ending! Pro-tip: Be prepared!”
