Is it still worth playing?

A hero cursed into a Lizard-Man has to kill the other dragons of Monster Land to be human again. It is an April 2017 remake of the 1989 Master System game for the Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, on PCs and phones after. The quest turns him into one thing after another, a Mouse-Man, a Piranha-Man, a Lion-Man, a Hawk-Man, each with abilities that open new ground, while money buys swords and armor. Omar Cornut had the idea as a fan in 1998 and began in 2013, pulling the original's code off the cartridge to get the play exact, and Ben Fiquet drew every frame by hand alone. A button switches the whole game between the new look and the 1989 one, picture and sound separately. The switch still keeps the original one button away, at any moment.
