IndieRPGs.com Checks Out Kanye Quest 3030

There comes a time in a man’s life when he has to sit down and try out a hip-hop sci-fi RPG. That time came for me a few days ago when I finally got around to trying out oddball jRPG Kanye Quest 3030 (previously covered here). The results? See for yourself:

My initial impressions: the theme is hilarious and well-executed, with lots of different combat tracks sampled from whatever hip hop artist clone you happen to be fighting at the time. Unfortunately, the game seems to be extremely linear, and its role-playing elements are quite limited even by jRPG standards. It’s free, though–players with some knowledge of hip hop who want a good laugh are encouraged to give this a try.
