"Kemco Unveils Metro Quester: A Fresh Departure from Norm"

Whenever I delve into the world of Kemco, I find their releases both eagerly anticipated and somewhat predictable. Known for their high-quality JRPGs from Japan, Kemco's games often strike a chord with high-fantasy and melodramatic themes. However, their upcoming release, Metro Quester, breaks the mold and has caught my attention. Scheduled for release on April 21st, with pre-registration now open, this game promises a unique experience.

In Metro Quester, developed by Thousand Games, you'll embark on a dungeon-crawling RPG with a twist. Rather than exploring above ground and occasionally venturing into ruins, you'll find yourself in a post-apocalyptic, Glukhovky-esque world, navigating the ancient metro lines of a bygone era. This setting offers a fresh take on the genre, immersing players in a dense, atmospheric underground environment.

The game features character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, known for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, alongside other talented artists. This collaboration ensures a visually compelling and dark, gloomy world that players can explore. With 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a comprehensive bestiary, and much more, Metro Quester promises a rich and engaging gameplay experience.

Kemco stands out - I was genuinely excited to receive news about Metro Quester. It's poised to be a standout in Kemco's lineup, blending a dark, atmospheric setting with retro top-down dungeon crawling. While the game retains the familiar anime style that Kemco is known for, it's unlikely to be a point of contention for fans of the genre. If you're on the hunt for a novel and intriguing addition to your JRPG collection, mark your calendar for Metro Quester's arrival on April 21st.
