Is deSPIRIA still worth playing in 2026?

A mysterious RPG from Atlus, deSPIRIA follows characters with psychic powers exploring the ruins of a vanished civilization, in a dark, adult mood faithful to the studio. The dense, enigmatic narrative and the psychic ability system give the title a strong identity, far from the ordinary. The presentation dates it and the untranslated Japanese release shuts many out. A fascinating pick for lovers of Atlus worlds and seekers of rare atmospheric RPGs on the system.
