"Metro Quester: Kemco's New Release Breaks the Mold"

When discussing Kemco, I often find their games both warmly anticipated and somewhat predictable. Their JRPGs from Japan are typically high-quality yet consistently tap into high-fantasy and melodramatic themes. However, their latest upcoming release, Metro Quester, breaks from tradition, and it's slated for release on April 21st, with pre-registration currently open!

In Metro Quester, players embark on a unique dungeon-crawling RPG experience. Rather than exploring ruins from the surface, you're thrust into a post-apocalyptic, Glukhovsky-inspired future, confined underground within the ancient metro systems of a vanished civilization.

The game features character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara, renowned for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction, along with other skilled artists. This collaboration ensures a high-quality, albeit dark and foreboding world for players to delve into.

Kemco stands out with Metro Quester, which I was genuinely excited to discover in my inbox. This title promises to be a notable addition to Kemco's portfolio, blending a dark, dystopian setting with retro top-down dungeon crawling. If you're curious about the depth of content, consider this: 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a comprehensive bestiary, and much more await you.

While Metro Quester retains that familiar anime aesthetic, it's unlikely to be a deterrent for many fans. If you're eager for something fresh and unconventional to fuel your JRPG passion, mark your calendar for when Metro Quester becomes available on April 21st!
