Is it still worth playing?

The Stranger is freed from a floating prison by a figure called the Voice and cuts his way out through his ten jailers. It is a 2016 action game for the PC and PlayStation 4, with Xbox One and Switch versions after, made of boss fights and nothing else. Each duel mixes two games: at range it is a twin stick shooter of bullet hell patterns to weave through, and up close a sword fight of parries, a parry giving health back, so defense is how you heal. A boss changes tactics each time a bar of health goes, and a fight runs up to twenty minutes. Takashi Okazaki, who drew Afro Samurai, designed the characters, and the soundtrack is synthwave written for each fight by Carpenter Brut and others. The parry still carries ten fights and nothing between them, with a block that is also the cure.
