When it comes to Kemco, I always find their releases both welcome and somewhat predictable. Known for their high-quality JRPGs, Kemco typically sticks to high-fantasy, melodramatic themes. However, their latest upcoming mobile port, Metro Quester, breaks the mold in an exciting way, and it's set to launch on April 21st with pre-registration now open.
Metro Quester is a unique dungeon-crawling RPG developed by Thousand Games, set in a post-apocalyptic future where you're trapped underground, exploring the ancient metro lines and pre-apocalyptic ruins. This Glukhovky-esque setting promises a gripping experience that diverges from the usual above-ground adventures into ruins.
The game boasts character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, famous for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, ensuring a high-quality, albeit dark and gloomy world to explore. Metro Quester stands out in Kemco's catalog with its dark atmosphere and retro top-down dungeon crawling.
Kemco stands out - I was genuinely excited to see Metro Quester in my inbox. This game promises to be a standout offering thanks to its blend of a dark world and engaging gameplay. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a detailed bestiary, and more, there's plenty of content to dive into.
While Metro Quester retains that familiar anime style, it's unlikely to be a deal-breaker for most fans. If you're searching for a fresh and intriguing addition to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for April 21st when Metro Quester hits the storefronts.
