Kemco's Metro Quester: A Fresh Departure from the Norm

Whenever I delve into Kemco's offerings, I find them both warmly anticipated and somewhat predictable. Their JRPGs from Japan are typically of high quality, yet they consistently strike those familiar high-fantasy, melodramatic chords. However, their latest upcoming release, Metro Quester, caught my attention by breaking from these conventions. It's slated for release on April 21st, with pre-registration now open.

Metro Quester presents a unique twist on the dungeon-crawling RPG genre. Instead of exploring ruins from above ground, you'll navigate a post-apocalyptic, Glukhovsky-inspired future, confined underground within the ancient metro systems of a bygone era.

With character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, known for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, and contributions from other talented artists, Metro Quester promises a visually stunning yet dark and atmospheric world to explore.

Kemco stands out

I was genuinely excited to discover Metro Quester in my inbox. This game is poised to be a standout in Kemco's lineup, blending a dark setting with classic top-down dungeon crawling. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, an extensive bestiary, and more, there's no shortage of content.

While Metro Quester retains the familiar anime aesthetic, it's unlikely to be a point of contention for most fans. If you're in search of a novel and intriguing addition to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for Metro Quester's arrival on April 21st.
