Is it still worth playing?

Mimimi Productions' 2016 stealth real time tactics game, set in feudal Japan, in which the samurai Mugen is sent by the shogun to uncover the identity of a warlord called Kage-sama. Mugen recruits four allies, and you command the small team on espionage, sabotage and assassination missions. Enemy guards have a visible cone of vision that you have to avoid to stay undetected. You can lure guards into ambushes, kill them with traps or staged accidents, or knock them out temporarily, and bodies can be moved and hidden in places such as bushes, barrels and wells. If a character is spotted or a body is found, the alarm sounds and extra patrols are deployed. Each character has unique abilities. Every guard becomes a puzzle you can solve in your own order, with a visible cone of vision and bodies you can hide, and it stays tense today.
