Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth 2014

Is it still worth playing?

P-Studio's 2014 dungeon crawling role playing game for the Nintendo 3DS, in which characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 are pulled into a replica of a school in another world. They meet two amnesiac students, Zen and Rei, and have to explore four labyrinths beneath the school. Those labyrinths are explored in first person, and mapped by hand or automatically. In them, shadows appear at random in battle, while FOEs roam the field and have to be avoided or outmaneuvered. Battles are turn based with Personas, which can be fused into stronger forms, and sub Personas can be equipped. Hitting a weakness or landing a critical hit triggers a Boost state, which removes costs for a while. Floors where roaming foes have to be dodged still make each one a puzzle of routes and timing today.
