Keylocker is a magnificent and creative tour de force. The charming and lurid visuals and music elevate what is already a very thoughtfully designed RPG into an engrossing and humorous adventure that keeps players guessing. The setting and characters are beautifully realized and there isn’t anything like it.

Keylocker mixes grid based combat well with RPG mechanics from Paper Mario and others, while telling an interesting story in a cyberpunk world in a captivating style. It has a few missteps, but it's something you should play.

Keylocker proves to be a great entry to the JRPG genre and it has all the milestones that many games of the genre have. There are likable characters, minigames, amazing music and a compelling story to bring it all together.

Despite plenty of style and cheek, Keylocker can't get past the repetitive grind of its battles.
