Is it still worth playing?

Each time you die, the castle passes to one of three children rolled at random, and you pick which. Each has a class, a spell and traits of their own, such as colorblindness, which turns the game black and white, dwarfism, which fits through gaps, ADHD, which moves faster, and dozens more. Two brothers in Toronto made this 2013 platformer for the PC, later on consoles. The castle is generated anew, four areas with a boss in each, and the gold your heir brings out buys permanent upgrades at the family manor from a blacksmith, an enchantress and an architect who will lock the last castle's layout for a cut of the gold. Anything unspent is taken by Charon at the door. The heir still dies in minutes, and the family still gets stronger for ever.
