April 2025

for as overlooked as it is, i really liked how this game differentiated itself from other boomer shooters by making the game a metroidvania rather than something more linear. exploration and backtracking is often encouraged to pick up items that you missed earlier once you're better equipped, and it gives the levels more depth. if you're looking for a more unique approach to classic fps and really love metroidvanias, give this game a try!

Powerslave (Always, Exhumed to me). This is, the definitive version. I think I first came across this project on an obscure website a long time ago and quietly hoped it would come to fruition. I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and nostalgic reliving of, one of my favourite Sega Saturn titles. I still have a Sega Saturn with Exhumed and, I 100% approve of this version. I sincerely thank the Team behind this. Thank You, guys. One Team Doll left. I missed it :( haha

this game is pretty cool for the first two thirds, and brutally mind numbingly hard in the last few levels. i'd still recommend it, but a word of warning that you may have to use cheats towards the end like i did xD also a flawless remaster by night dive - as always.

This is an interesting one for me. I got this, expecting to see another Build engine game. The PC version of PowerSlave is (which is available separately on Steam), but this is based on the console versions, which used a proprietary "SlaveDriver" engine, built for the game. This makes sense, the new engine does 3D better, and in this game that 3D was really utilized. This game combines the PSX and Saturn versions together into one game, so any version exclusive level is here either way. Is it fun to play? Yea, it is. It's not without its flaws. There are a few too many tight hallways where you cannot dodge enemy attacks because there simply isn't enough room for your hit box and the enemy projectile's hit box. Enemies do not get stunned on hit, You're going to take damage that you cannot avoid, and using melee is basically out of the question even though you have a melee weapon. It's also very "console game", enemies will randomly drop more health (to cover for all the guaranteed damage you will take), and "weapon power" that is ammo for whatever your currently selected weapon is, rather than drops for specific weapons. I personally feel that this is a bit of laziness in the design side, relying on randomness and genericness to cover for having to consider item placement. Level design is hit or miss. There's a lot of wonderful use of verticality, But some areas are not at all obvious on how to continue, and they wind back on themselves a bit much at times. The enemy placement, largely due to their behavior, is not well thought out at times either. However, the mechanics of the game are overall pretty fun. Combat does feel good, even if it's hard to avoid incoming damage. Weapon choices are solid, and the generic drops mean you can favor a weapon you find most appealing. But the main draw to this game is the Metroidvania aspect. It's not one large map, but you go out, collect power ups that can help you find other items and other exits when revisiting a map. These power ups are not the most creatively designed, but they can be fun to use. This is not a perfect game by any stretch, but it is a fun game, and worth checking out.

April 2024

Underrated, well-paced retro shooter with enough unique mechanics, weapons and enemies to keep it interesting all the way through. Can be frustrating and confusing at times, but those moments are few and far between. Definitely worth playing for all fans of boomslop gaming.
