Writing about Kemco always brings a familiar yet pleasant predictability. Their JRPG imports consistently deliver polished experiences while embracing classic high-fantasy tropes. Metro Quester breaks this mold entirely - launching April 21st with pre-registration live - and immediately grabbed my attention.
This dungeon crawler reinvents the genre by confining players entirely underground. Forget surface exploration; you'll scour decaying metro tunnels frozen in time after civilization's collapse, delivering a distinctly Glukhovsky-inspired dystopia.
With character designs by Bastard!! creator Kazushi Hagiwara and other renowned artists, expect meticulously crafted environments dripping with atmospheric gloom.
Kemco pushes boundariesMetro Quester stood out instantly in my inbox as a potential jewel in Kemco's crown, blending retro dungeon crawling with oppressive worldbuilding. Content concerns? The game boasts 24 characters, 8 classes, weapon customization, expansive bestiaries and robust audio design.
While retaining anime aesthetic sensibilities, the style feels appropriately grim rather than jarring. JRPG enthusiasts craving fresh subterranean adventures should mark April 21st for Metro Quester's launch.
