■ World
Introduction
Thousand of years ago, the world inhabited by humans was invaded by “Asmodians.” Asmodians invaded in order to take control of this world’s “Chaos Energy”—something that threatens their own world—became rulers, and applied a “great barrier” to the earth.
The great barrier caused a major disturbance to the earth’s magnetic field, leading to raging climates and the “blue sky” to be lost from the world.
As an effect of this distortion, the ocean known as “The Dark Chaos” was born. It tore the sea in every direction and swallowed many cities.
Most humans were killed, and the little that survived had their forces significantly scattered by the severed sea route, and before long gave in to the rule of the Asmodians.
Several hundred years after, rule of the world has been divided into several “zones,” and a new hierarchical society has been built with the Asmodians at its forefront. A new culture was formed.
However, no matter how much time has passed, humanity’s flames of resistance have not burned out.
Now, the world is beginning to move once again—.
Details
There is an ocean current known as “The Dark Chaos” in the seas of each “world” that splits the sea in every direction and severs the sea route, completely closing off outside communication. These independent worlds lived in by the people are ruled by Asmodians and called “zones.”

■ Battle
The Alliance Alive uses a turn-based command battle system where up to five party members can participate. It is a system that emphasizes tempo and features a fast forward function to move the fight up to four times faster. Enemy encounters are symbol-based, meaning a battle will begin when you’ve touched a monster on the field.
The Alliance Alive is due out for 3DS in Japan in spring 2017.
