Is Arcana Heart 3 still worth playing in 2026?

A 2D fighting game from Examu, Arcana Heart 3 features an all female cast paired with elemental spirits called Arcana that deeply alter the fighting style depending on the combinations. The richness of the system, the beauty of the animated sprites and the technical depth win over fans of demanding 2D versus. The fast pace and the high technical barrier to entry can deter. A title for fans of Japanese 2D fighting with deep systems and lovers of anime aesthetics.
