Is it still worth playing?

ArtPlay's 2019 Metroidvania action role playing game, presented as a 2.5D platformer, in which Miriam, a Shardbinder, wakes after a long sleep in 19th century England overrun by demons. The studio was co founded by the former Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi. Miriam travels to a ruined village near a demon filled castle, a maze of interconnected rooms where new abilities open areas that were out of reach. She fights with melee and ranged weapons such as swords, spears and guns, each with a different attack style. Her magic comes from the monsters. Shards dropped by defeated enemies power magical attacks, with a limited number equipped at once. With every defeated enemy a possible new skill, exploring still pays off today.
