Alphadia Genesis

I’ve been a gamer most of my life, ever since the Atari was up on the shelves and Pac-Man was all the rage, I’ve seen all the fads, VHS video game systems (VHS for those of you who don’t know were like the original DVD’s, and for those really young people Blu-Ray’s and for those who are crawling around in Diapers 4K HD blu rays or something) I’ve lived through the Nintendo strangle hold onto the bright shining beacon that fought against Nintendo in the Sega Genesis. Upwards and onwards into PC gaming. Now in all my years of gaming I mostly stuck to Platformers and crappy licensed games with a few sports games thrown in TECMO Super bowl. That was until I discovered a game which changed my outlook on gaming.. Final Fantasy 7, that glorious shining beacon which awoken in me a light that has influenced my gaming choices ever since. Being that Final Fantasy 7 was my jumping point, I missed out on a lot of classic NES titles, and then Super Nintendo titles, but the Playstation had a large collection of classic games in its own right and I owned all of them. Anyway, with my history on RPG or more specifically J-RPG’s out of the way lets move onto the game which has gotten us all here…

The story begins with a seemingly contained incident: a murder allegedly committed by a clone. The protagonist, Fray, and his companions are tasked with investigating the crime, but the case quickly spirals into a layered political drama involving rival kingdoms, lingering resentment from a past war, and the controversial existence of clones known as Energi. This foundation gives the narrative a more serious to…

- So fun to play, rating 93/100

Not bad.

I'm going to Enah all night! On a serious note, for the price, the game is worth a play. Not too hard, yet not too easy by the mid game. Some enemies can otk if you're not ready so some thought in formations and equipment is necessary. There's a lot of skills and equipment to choose from so plenty of flexibility there! Game length was surprisingly longer than what I've expected, but hey I didn't knock it!

nothing fun to be had here
