Kowloon High-School Chronicle is a curious RPG that experiments with its format in many ways. Despite an unfair system of choices based on emotions, this is a unique work within the genre and worth checking out.

Kowloon High-School Chronicle is a very fun RPG filled with good ideas, that deserved to have its chance in the West after so long. It has memorable characters, addresses several interesting subjects about Japanese mythology and real-world mysteries, and has a very interesting first person dungeon crawler combat system.

Overall I found that Kowloon High School is a great combination of genres rolled up in a nostalgic Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider style package. Yes it might be a little dated looking, and it may be a little clunky and awkward here and there, but it has a real charm that just can't be denied.

I can best recommend it to fans of gaming history or dungeon crawlers.
