Is Sword of Etheria, The still worth playing in 2026?
An action game from Konami, The Sword of Etheria blends third person combat with cooperation among player controlled companions, in a fantasy world of mythological hues where you chain enemies to launch them into aerial combos. The system of throwing and passing between allies, the polished art direction and the joy of the chains win over action fans. The repetition and a limited release hurt its fame. A curiosity for fans of combo action and explorers of Konami's overlooked catalogue.
