"Metro Quester: Kemco's Unique New Release"

When it comes to Kemco, I always find their releases both welcome and somewhat predictable. Their JRPGs from Japan consistently deliver high-quality experiences, often steeped in high-fantasy and melodramatic themes. However, their upcoming title, Metro Quester, breaks the mold and has caught my attention. Set to launch on April 21st, with pre-registration now open, this game promises a fresh twist on the genre.

In Metro Quester, developed by Thousand Games, players dive into a dungeon-crawling RPG set in a post-apocalyptic future, inspired by the works of Glukhovsky. Unlike typical RPGs where you might venture into ruins from above ground, Metro Quester immerses you in the underground world of ancient metro lines, offering a unique exploration experience in a bygone era's ruins.

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

Kemco stands out with Metro Quester, a title that promises to be a standout in their lineup. It combines a dark setting with retro top-down dungeon crawling. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a comprehensive bestiary, and more, the game offers plenty of content to keep players engaged.

While Metro Quester retains the familiar anime aesthetic that Kemco is known for, it's unlikely to be a deterrent for fans of the genre. If you're seeking a novel and intriguing addition to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for April 21st when Metro Quester becomes available on mobile platforms.
