The Alliance Alive HD Remastered - Trailer
0The Alliance Alive is a Japanese role-playing video game for the Nintendo 3DS handheld video game console developed by Cattle Call, with assistance from Grezzo and FuRyu. The game was published in Japan by FuRyu in 2017, and was published worldwide by Atlus USA in 2018.
The story follows a group of characters as they mount a rebellion against a race of Daemons that have ruled over humans since blotting out the sun a millennium before. Gameplay follows many traditions of the Japanese role-playing genre, including turn-based battles and navigation using a world map.
Development of The Alliance Alive began following the completion of The Legend of Legacy in 2015, although its concept predated the creation of The Legend of Legacy. The aim was to create a classic role-playing game balancing gameplay and story which used player feedback from the previous game. Most of the original staff returned including director Masataka Matsuura, artist Ryo Hirao, designer Kyoji Koizumi, and composer Masashi Hamauzu. The scenario was written by Yoshitaka Murayama, noted for his work on the Suikoden series.
A high-definition remaster under the title The Alliance Alive HD Remastered for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows was released on October 8, 2019.
The Alliance Alive takes place in a fantasy world divided into four lands separated by ocean. A thousand years before the story begins, the world of humans was invaded by Daemons, who feared an energy from the human realm called Chaos.
Their invasion culminated in the creation of a barrier which caused catastrophic climate changes and generated a cross-shaped flow of energy dubbed the Dark Current to destroy much of humanity. Those that remained were quickly subjugated, and the Dark Current settled into the world's oceans, cutting off each land from its neighbors and turning the sky black. By the game's events, the world is divided into zones ruled by a hierarchical government with the Daemons as its supreme rulers.
During its first week of release in Japan, The Alliance Alive debuted in second place in gaming charts behind Nintendo Switch exclusive Arms, with sales of over 31,000 units.
