Is it still worth playing?

Set in the Sengoku period, this 2001 PlayStation 2 action adventure has you control the swordsman Samanosuke Akechi against demons. He fights them across pre-rendered backgrounds, while puzzles about using the environment and finding items keep the action paced. He begins with a katana and may find limited long-range weapons, and later gains three elemental weapons with their own magic attacks. Defeated enemies release souls that a gauntlet on his wrist absorbs: red souls upgrade weapons, yellow ones restore health and blue ones restore magic power. Some sections are played as the kunoichi Kaede, who has her own weapons and acrobatics. Anyone curious about samurai tales with a supernatural twist can still find a distinct one here.
