Whenever I write about Kemco, I find their work both invariably welcome and fairly predictable. Their releases of JRPGs from Japan are typically high-quality but often hit those high-fantasy, melodramatic notes. However, their latest upcoming release, Metro Quester, caught my eye for how it defies these conventions, set to launch on April 21st with pre-registration now open!
In Metro Quester, you'll delve into a dungeon-crawling RPG with a unique twist. Instead of venturing above ground and into ruins, you'll explore a post-apocalyptic, Glukhovsky-esque future trapped underground, navigating the ancient metro lines of a bygone era.
With character designs from Kazushi Hagiwara, known for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, alongside other talented artists, you can expect a high-quality yet dark and gloomy world to explore.
Kemco stands out Indeed, I was genuinely excited to see Metro Quester in my inbox. This promises to be a standout offering in Kemco's catalogue, blending a dark world with retro top-down dungeon crawling. And for those concerned about content, how does 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a comprehensive bestiary, and more sound?
Admittedly, Metro Quester retains that familiar anime style. Yet, I doubt many of you will find it objectionable. If you're seeking something new and intriguing to complement your JRPG obsession, keep an eye out for Metro Quester when it hits storefronts on April 21st!
