- Metro Quester marks Kemco's next big mobile port
- Developed by Thousand Games, it plunges players into a dystopian future
- Navigate labyrinthine dungeons within abandoned subway tunnels and crumbling pre-cataclysm structures
Writing about Kemco always feels both exciting and comfortably familiar. Their imported JRPGs consistently deliver quality while maintaining that signature high-fantasy melodrama. However, their upcoming Metro Quester immediately grabbed my attention by breaking these molds, launching on April 21st with pre-registration now live!
Metro Quester reinvents the dungeon-crawler formula. Forget typical above-ground adventures - you'll immerse yourself in a Glukhovsky-inspired post-apocalyptic world, navigating forgotten subway corridors that once connected a vanished civilization.
With character design by Kazushi Hagiwara (of Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction fame) and other renowned artists, expect a beautifully crafted yet grim underground universe waiting to be discovered.
Kemco delivers something different
Metro Quester honestly surprised me in the best way. This dark, retro-style dungeon crawler could become Kemco's most distinctive title yet. Concerned about content depth? The game boasts 24 unique characters, 8 customizable classes, extensive weapon customization, a comprehensive bestiary, and an immersive soundtrack.
While the art direction maintains Kemco's familiar anime aesthetic, most players will find this stylistic choice enhances rather than detracts from the experience. If you're craving an unconventional JRPG to feed your roleplaying addiction, mark April 21st on your calendar for Metro Quester's release!
