- Metro Quester represents Kemco's latest JRPG port arriving soon on mobile
- Developed by Thousand Games, it transports players to a grim post-apocalyptic future
- Delve into sprawling underground dungeons within abandoned metro systems and ruined pre-catastrophe structures
Whenever covering Kemco's releases, I consistently find myself both pleased and unsurprised. Their Japanese RPG ports maintain reliably high quality while adhering to classic tropes of high fantasy and dramatic storytelling. However, their upcoming title Metro Quester immediately stood out for breaking these conventions. Mark your calendars for April 21st – pre-registration is already available!
Metro Quester delivers a fresh take on dungeon-crawling RPGs with its distinctive setting. Rather than traversing surface landscapes before descending into ruins, players inhabit a bleak, Metro 2033-inspired future confined to subterranean exploration. You'll navigate the crumbling tunnels of antiquated subway networks – remnants of a vanished civilization.
Adding considerable appeal, the game features character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, renowned for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, alongside contributions from other exceptional artists. Players can anticipate a meticulously crafted yet oppressive world dripping with atmosphere.
Kemco Raises the Bar
Discovering Metro Quester genuinely excited me. This title seems poised to distinguish itself within Kemco's library through its fusion of dark thematic elements and nostalgic top-down dungeon exploration. Concerned about content depth? How about 24 distinct characters, 8 specialized classes, customizable weaponry, an extensive monster compendium, and more?
While retaining Kemco's signature anime aesthetic, Metro Quester's presentation avoids feeling overly generic. Most JRPG enthusiasts will likely appreciate rather than criticize this stylistic choice. For players craving something fresh yet bizarre to satisfy their roleplaying cravings, this April 21st release warrants close attention!
