Coming back to the game

Used to play Archero around 4 years ago and I was playing consistently for about a year. I quit at the time because the game had become too much p2w depended, to the point where I was not having fun anymore as a f2p. I recently remembered this game but saw how many more features there are now. My question is, is it worth coming back as f2p nowadays ? Or is it still way too hard to progress without spending money?
