Kemco's Metro Quester Breaks Tradition

Author:Kristen Update:Oct 05,2025

- Metro Quester marks Kemco's newest mobile port coming soon

- Developed by Thousand Games, this adventure transports players to a dystopian future

- Navigate intricate underground labyrinths within forgotten metro tunnels and pre-cataclysmic ruins

Whenever discussing Kemco, I consistently find their offerings both reliably enjoyable and somewhat formulaic. Their library of imported JRPGs maintains solid quality while predictably hitting those sweeping high-fantasy story beats. But their upcoming Metro Quester immediately stood out by bucking these traditions, set for launch on April 21st with pre-registration currently available!

Metro Quester reinvents dungeon-crawling RPG conventions. Rather than surface exploration leading to occasional ruins, you'll inhabit a Glukhovky-inspired apocalyptic future - surviving entirely within the vast underground network of abandoned subway systems.

With character designs by Kazushi Hagiwara (celebrated for Bastard!! The Dark God of Destruction) and contributions from other esteemed artists, players can anticipate a richly crafted - albeit somber and foreboding - world to discover.

Kemco's distinctive style shines through

Metro Quester genuinely excited me when it appeared in my inbox. This title looks poised to become a highlight in Kemco's portfolio, blending grim atmospheres with classic top-down dungeon exploration. Concerned about content depth? Consider the staggering inclusion of 24 characters, 8 distinct classes, customizable weaponry, an extensive bestiary, and plenty more beyond.

Admittedly, Metro Quester retains that signature anime aesthetic Kemco is known for. But most fans will likely find this familiarity comforting rather than off-putting. If you're craving something fresh yet bizarre to satisfy your JRPG cravings, mark April 21st on your calendars for Metro Quester's arrival!
