Recent releases

[CorrineMorris]

Looking at Kemcos' recent releases, there are a disappointing number available on PlayStation -all the ones I would be interested in are on other platforms.

My preferred genre has always been turn- based jrpg, though in recent years I don't have the memory required to play the epics I used to. Kemco rpgs tick all the boxes for me, but many recent PS releases have just been weird and not my thing, at all.

And, I would also like to see a PS5 version for more of the ps4 kemco games.

Okay - moan over - off to play Alphadia 1 & 2 (ps5 version)

Most recent mobile Kemco releases wind up on consoles/PC after a certain amount of time.

Searching for Kemco RPGs on the Playstation store is somewhat ineffective. If you do search for "Kemco" you won't get all of their games; I assume there's a weakness in their internal search engine. It's usually more effective to search for the name of a specific game on the Playstation store.

The Switch has a more accurate search feature, and searching for "Kemco" will bring up all of their games on that console. Most modern-day Kemco RPGs released for consoles/Steam seems to be released for multiple platforms at once: PS4/PS5, Switch, Xbox, and Steam.

A few Kemco RPGs have been released on the Switch and not the PS4/PS5. These mostly seem to be ultra-short games (Archlion Saga, Everdark Tower, Yodanji).

Victar is right: Most recent Kemco games - following the initial mobile release - were ported to PC and consoles within a year or so, though the Playstation ports get delayed sometimes.

Aren't publishers and developers tagged in the Playstation store (I really don't know as a PC-only player)? If I visit the shop page of a certain developer/publisher on Steam, for example, and then click on the developer/publisher, Steam will show all other releases of said developer/publisher. Of course, this system only works if the platforms and the developers/publishers don't screw up. Most Exe Create games on Steam, for example, can be found by using the "Exe Create" tag or search query. However, "Alphadia Genesis" and "Frane: Dragons' Odyssey" were published under the tag "Exe-Create". They still show up when using the search query "Exe Create", but they're nowhere to be seen when clicking on the "Exe Create" developer tag.

I really thought it would be in the developers' and publishers' interest to make it as easy as possible to discover their games.

By the way, I recommend checking Kemco Global's website regularly; it's a failsafe way to pick up on all new English Kemco releases: https://www.kemco-games.com/global/index.html

Aren't these what the majority wants? KEMCO is finally focusing on fewer releases and possibly prioritizing quality, yes? While I understand the disappointment regarding fewer releases, it’s worth noting that these ports take a maximum of six months to port these games for unknown reasons, even though it's still run poorly at times. Additionally, it's important to mention that these games still run on 32-bit system.

There are at least five upcoming games on each platform (note: these games are turn-based and do not include ADV and visual novels), which include:
Journey to Kreisia (Exe-Create) © 2013-2024 KEMCO/EXE-CREATE

Novelsrouge (Exe-Create) © 2024-2025 KEMCO/EXE-CREATE

Alter Age (Exe-Create) TBD

Spirit Valor (Exe-Create) TBD

and Dragon Takers (Vanguard) TBA

 

Unfortunately, Exe-Create's page on Steam is quite messy due to a simple reasons, including a controversy.

The official page name for Exe-Create on Steam is Exe Create Inc.

Originally, Marvelous EU (previously known as Victor) ported Alphadia Genesis to Steam and the Wii U version, and they're using the capitalized format 'EXE-CREATE' in the developer list (with KEMCO before they lose their rights) for Genesis. This was never fixed by KEMCO for some unknown reason, perhaps due to oversight or lazy reasons. For Frane 3, KEMCO used the official name but without a space between "Exe" and "Create" (ExeCreate Inc.), which created a new developer page due to this mistake. Of course, KEMCO hasn’t fixed it.

Now, about the controversy: Exe-Create originally had "their" own page on Steam when the platform still used Greenlight (prior to the Alphadia Genesis port).

Frane 3’s bastardized 2011 version was supposed to release there under a name "Dragons' Oddessey, along with a non-translated Vampire Hurts and Frane 3 Gaiden. However, these titles were never continued nor even passed Greenlight due to continued allegations regarding who was managing the account, which Exe-Create themselves were not aware of at the time. (And it's damn true.)

I really hope we get an English port of  https://www.trueachievements.com/game/S ... id=1123374

This works pretty strongly for all the Kemco releases and will even include the different PS trophy lists as many games have "stacks" on PS

 

Xbox has none of this nonsense

I always look at the Kemco Latest releases website - a lot of most recent are made for app. And ps5 games search engine is a great upgrade on ps4 - if you put in Kemco, you get all the kemco games
