Is it still worth playing?

Inti Creates' 2006 side scrolling action platformer for the Nintendo DS, set 200 years after the Mega Man Zero series. Vent or Aile recovers ancient Biometals from Pseudoroids, jumping, dashing and fighting with melee and ranged weapons. The Biometals are the core. They transform the hero into forms based on X, Zero and the Four Guardians, each with unique abilities, and the touch screen's function changes with the form. Missions are chosen from an in game computer, and between them you explore freely and have to find each mission's area, which adds Metroidvania style exploration. On top of that, nine hidden bosses from the Zero series mostly need the matching Game Boy Advance cartridge in the DS. Forms with abilities of their own, in a world to explore between missions, still give the platforming variety today.
