• Metro Quester is Kemco's newest mobile port, previously announced
• Developed by Thousand Games, it immerses you in a post-apocalyptic future
• Delve into dense dungeons within ancient subways and pre-apocalyptic ruins

Whenever I cover Kemco, I consistently find their releases both welcome and somewhat expected. Their JRPGs from overseas are typically well-crafted, yet they often stick to high-fantasy, dramatic themes. However, their upcoming title Metro Quester immediately stood out for breaking these conventions. It’s set to launch on April 21st, with pre-registration already available!

Metro Quester offers a distinctive dungeon-crawling RPG experience. Rather than splitting time between the surface world and ruins, you’re plunged into a post-apocalyptic, Glukhovsky-inspired future—trapped underground and navigating the forgotten metro lines of a past civilization.

With character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara—known for works like Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction—alongside contributions from other skilled artists, expect a richly detailed, if somber, world to explore.

Honestly, I was genuinely excited to discover Metro Quester in my inbox. This game looks poised to stand out in Kemco’s lineup, blending a bleak setting with retro, top-down dungeon crawling. And if you’re concerned about content, consider this: 24 characters, 8 classes, customizable weapons, a full bestiary, and extensive sound design.

Admittedly, Metro Quester retains that familiar anime aesthetic. However, I doubt most players will find that a drawback. So, if you're searching for something fresh and unusual to feed your JRPG passion, keep an eye out for Metro Quester when it arrives on April 21st!
