"Kemco's Metro Quester: A Fresh Twist on Their Classic Style"

Whenever I write about Kemco, I find their releases both warmly welcomed and somewhat predictable. Known for delivering high-quality JRPGs from Japan, Kemco's games often hit familiar high-fantasy and melodramatic notes. However, their latest upcoming mobile port, Metro Quester, caught my attention for breaking away from these conventions. Developed by Thousand Games, Metro Quester is set to launch on April 21st, with pre-registration now open!

In Metro Quester, you're plunged into a gripping dungeon-crawling RPG with a unique twist. Unlike traditional RPGs where you might explore above ground and venture into ruins, Metro Quester traps you in a post-apocalyptic future, navigating the ancient metro lines of a bygone era. This setting evokes the eerie atmosphere reminiscent of Dmitry Glukhovsky's works, offering a fresh and immersive experience.

The game boasts character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, known for his work on titles like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, alongside other talented artists. This ensures a high-quality, though dark and gloomy, world for players to explore.

Kemco stands out with Metro Quester. I was genuinely thrilled to see this game in my inbox. It promises to be a standout addition to Kemco's catalog, blending a dark, atmospheric world with retro top-down dungeon crawling. 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 that familiar anime style, it's unlikely to be a deal-breaker for many. If you're seeking a novel and intriguing addition to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for Metro Quester's release on April 21st.
