Is Solomon's Key still worth playing in 2026?

A puzzle action from Tecmo, Solomon no Kagi stars the wizard Dana who solves rooms by creating and destroying blocks at will to carve a path, fight monsters and reach the key then the exit. The block creation concept, of remarkable elegance and depth, demands thought and timing in a fearsome difficulty. The impeccable logic makes it a peak of puzzle action. For a demanding retro brain teaser fan, someone curious about a Tecmo classic or a collector, the title keeps an intact intelligence and challenge.
