When it comes to Kemco, their releases are always a welcomed sight, though often predictable in their high-fantasy and melodramatic JRPG style. However, their latest upcoming mobile port, Metro Quester, breaks the mold and has certainly caught my attention. Developed by Thousand Games, this game is set to launch on April 21st, and pre-registration is already open.
In Metro Quester, you're thrown into a post-apocalyptic future, not roaming above ground but trapped underground exploring the ancient metro lines and pre-apocalyptic ruins. This dungeon-crawling RPG promises a unique experience with its Glukhovky-esque setting, diverging from the typical JRPG formula.
With character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, known for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, alongside other talented artists, Metro Quester is poised to offer a high-quality yet dark and gloomy world to explore. The game stands out in Kemco's lineup, blending a dark atmosphere with retro top-down dungeon crawling.
Kemco stands out - I was genuinely excited to receive news about Metro Quester. It promises to be a standout title in Kemco's catalog, featuring a mix of a dark world and engaging gameplay. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a comprehensive bestiary, and more, there's no shortage of content to dive into.
While Metro Quester retains the familiar anime style, it's unlikely to be a deterrent for fans of the genre. If you're searching for something new and intriguing to add to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for Metro Quester's release on April 21st.
