Flawed gem. Love the Metroidvania spin and some of the level design and map layouts are really intuitive and fun for the time, great arsenal of weapons too that all serve a purpose. That being said enemy variety and design are this games sore spot. Very heavy over reliance, particularly in the middle of the game on enemies with really really harsh homing projectiles at least on Pharoh difficulty. Compounded with a player hitbox that is for no reason extremely large and dodging these projectiles is sometimes impossible with how some of the maps are laid out on higher difficulties especially. The last two levels as well are not great, needing to blow up seemingly random walls to progress, which was kind of an issue throughout the game but most of those were at least telegraphed via different colored or off textures, the final two levels all bets are off and the enemies are basically crammed in groups of 3-5 in every room with very fast projectiles that can decimate a life bar in two hits, couple that with more claustrophobic map design and by the end I just wanted it over with. That being said, I still recommend the game despite its quirks, the Ancient Egypt theming isn't really done too often outside of like Serious Sam which I'm not really a fan of and the music is very very good. There's definitely some iffy map/level design in here too but it doesn't take away from the levels that were seriously fun to traverse.

I really enjoyed PARTS of this game. I feel like it starts out really strong, but drops off a cliff towards the end. The Kilmaat section of the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SUCKS. It's just mass amounts of enemies that have a lot of health and do so much damage. They were really the only thing that made me struggle with Pharaoh difficulty. Kinda dumb the game doesn't give you the "Beat the game on Hard" with beating it on Pharaoh. Not gonna get all the achievements on this game as the dolls are gonna be rough as you have to complete the level for it to save and I'm not about to play through that last section of the game. I feel like the metroidvania aspects of the game are fun, especially for how old this game is. It would have been really cool if the world was completely connected, rather than level to level. Overall I had a good time with this game, but towards the end I was less and less excited about playing the game, and just moreso focused on beating the game.

Another fantastic Nightdive release and appreciation for a game unappreciated in its time. Powerslave is an FPS with Metroidvania gameplay (a year before SoTN, no less) and it plays out almost flawlessly. This is really a chimaera of the Saturn, Playstation 1, and a little bit of the MS-DOS Build release. The loop is like any Metroidvania: Kill things, find upgrades, finish levels, find more upgrade, return to levels, find things you couldn't access before. The levels aren't massive, they don't feel labyrinthian like a lot of games in the Metroidvania style, but that's too its benefit since we're talking about an FPS and not a 2D sidescroller. The arsenal is great, albeit limited. You have 8 weapons and you're going to be leaning on one for a whole lot of the experience. Thankfully, that one is an M-60, so it's fun to just hose down mummies and aliens with that. You also get a flamethrower that doesn't suck. Actually, it's fantastic. You also get a few magical items to power you ascension to being a demi-god. The story is nonsensical in the way a good 90s game should be. You're a lone wolf, fighting the undead and aliens, and you become literal king of the world by game's end. My only complaints are the ammo system from the console releases and the boss fights. You don't have different ammo types, but rather weapon energy. Whatever weapon you have equipped gets the ammo pick up. It's a little janky and slows down the pace, but it's not too bad. Also, the boss fights are underwhelming. I feel I need to mention that there IS FPS platforming here and a lot of it. Lots of people hate that. And yes, you could just go get a sourceport of the DOS version for free, but that's a different and lesser game to begin with, AND this was made by the guy who originally made Powerslave EX, a source port of the PS1 game to PC. Quit crying about paying for things when you're probably buying into F2P garbage or are addicted to gacha games. Powerslave Exhumed is awesome. Get it. If it's on sale? Definitely get it. I clocked about 16 hours or so on my first play through and I'm amping up the difficulty for a second.

The new modern FPS games are so detailed, hyper realistic and very cinematic. But I still occasionally comes back to the retro ones. Back to the pioneers of FPS games. Lots of them. Including this one. I love the simplistic gameplay, pixels galores, Intuitive plot. Yes I love them all. But mostly? The (bleep!) soundtracks! This one delivers excellence. So new and modern ones may come and will always does. But nothing can beat the classics and they (modern games) won't ever be made nor exist, without inspirations from the old ones. Deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to: Lobotomy Software, Nightdive Studios and Throwback Entertainment. Thanks for preserving another excellent titles from the good ol' days. It's like a blast from the past for me. And me likey! Keep 'em comin'! b(^_^)d

When I was a teenager I used to replay the demo of PowerSlave over and over, and then i had it on PS1. Feeling the thrill as I wandered through those ancient Egyptian halls, fighting off monsters, always on the edge of discovering what lurked next. Now with a more polished version of the game I can say it delivers much of what drew me in back then, with more polish and depth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRTzuwkNG_o&list=PLGsOL4SfL-mPE1jEpa5BD5_pRbezTRIp3 In PowerSlave Exhumed you take on the role of a covert operations specialist dropped into the sealed city of Karnak. Your mission is to explore its levels both surface and tomb, solve puzzles, find key items, unlock new areas and battle monsters and supernatural threats. You start with a machete, but soon collect more powerful weapons like grenades, a flame thrower, an M-60 machine gun, and even a magical cobra staff. Along the way you’ll cross bridges, swim underwater grottos, and navigate multi-floor rooms. The game feels like a bridge between retro first-person shooters and exploration-focused adventure. The lighting effects, HD widescreen view, modern controller support, and the blend of both PlayStation and Saturn versions give it a freshness without losing its old-school charm.
