Is it still worth playing?

Daniel Garner is dead and in Purgatory, and the deal is Lucifer's army, destroyed, for a way into Heaven and to his wife. It is a 2004 shooter for Windows, with an Xbox version in 2006, more than eighteen months in the making in Poland. It is a shooter about numbers: five chapters of levels, and in each a run of arenas in which the exits shut, the heavy metal starts and the monsters pour in until they are gone, with five boss levels and tarot cards earned by a special task in each level, each a temporary power. The Black Edition adds the expansion Battle Out of Hell with ten more levels, and a reboot came in 2025. The shut doors still start the fights when the exits close, and end them when the room is empty.
