Whenever I delve into Kemco's offerings, I'm struck by a mix of comfort and predictability. Their JRPGs consistently deliver high-quality experiences, often steeped in high-fantasy and melodramatic elements. However, their latest upcoming mobile port, Metro Quester, breaks from tradition in an intriguing way, and it's set to launch on April 21st with pre-registration now open!
Metro Quester, developed by Thousand Games, plunges you into a post-apocalyptic future where you won't be exploring above ground but navigating the dense dungeons of ancient metro systems and pre-apocalyptic ruins. This setting offers a unique dungeon-crawling RPG experience that echoes the atmosphere of Glukhovsky's works.
The game boasts character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, known for his work on titles like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, ensuring a visually striking, albeit dark and gloomy world to explore. With contributions from other talented artists, the visual quality is set to be exceptional.
Kemco stands out with Metro Quester, which I found genuinely exciting when it landed in my inbox. This title promises to be a standout in Kemco's catalog, blending a dark world with retro top-down dungeon crawling. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a detailed bestiary, and more, content is certainly not an issue.
While Metro Quester retains the familiar anime style typical of Kemco's games, it's unlikely to be a deterrent for fans. If you're on the hunt for a fresh and intriguing JRPG experience to add to your collection, mark your calendar for Metro Quester's release on April 21st.
