Is Gunvalkyrie still worth playing in 2026?

An action game from Smilebit, Gunvalkyrie has you pilot a jetpack equipped fighter through open environments where aerial movement and shooting combine via a demanding dual stick control. The freedom of movement, the Victorian steampunk mood and the sense of speed make it a singular, exhilarating experience. The disorienting handling and the steep learning curve put off many players. An atypical action game for fans of mobility challenge and demanding games with a Japanese touch.
