Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP 2011

Is it still worth playing?

A Scythian warrior travels to a small mountain town to find the Megatome, a magic book, in this adventure by Superbrothers and Capybara Games with music by Jim Guthrie. The Megatome lets her read minds, and she jumps between a real world and a dream world by sitting down to sleep. You tap where you want her to go, and fights are timed attack and defend inputs in short encounters. Touching and holding starts a song of sworcery that lets you interact with the environment to solve puzzles, which summon the sprites needed to obtain trigons. Some events happen only in a certain phase of the moon, which follows the one in the real world through the system clock. The story has four chapters and takes about five to eight hours, told in a detailed pixel art style with an atmospheric synthwave soundtrack. A concept album you can walk around in still gives its music a leading role.
