Powerslave

unfortunately this is the PC port and not the PS1 port but still very fun to play if your nostalgic for some old school FPS fun!

Don't listen to the peasants giving bad score because it's the PC release. It's the best version period. So unlike the console version it has : - Complex and beautifull hand crafted levels in the tradition of build engine games. - Each weapons has its ammo so you have to manage them. It's not just a common pool. - You can actually understand the one liners of the hero. And trust me, they are epic. And the egyptian/stargate setting is awesome and really scary. Made me sh*t my pant when I was a kid. It's the dos version, I wish this was a remaster. Anyway with GDX you can play the game with great mouse support and in high resolution. WHO'S NEXT !!!

As far as 90s fps games go, this one was pretty underwhelming, I played it with all of the modern QoL improvements (upscaled sprites, BuildGDX, mouse aim, etc) and found the overall experience kind of meh, first of all, why is there no shotgun? This game came out in 1996 and Doom made the shotgun a staple of FPS games 3 years back, secondly, it has way too many of those annoying hard to hit enemies that like to crawl around on the ground, there's also no level stats screen when you complete a level and the grenade throwing mechanics are really hard to get a hang of, especially when you compare it to the throwing mechanics of Duke Nukem 3D and Blood, as every grenade throw in this game is basically a hail mary. I like the level design, but it's lacking how you could blow open walls like in Duke Nukem or Blood so they aren't as interconnected as they are in the other build engine games, but to end on a positive note the soundtrack is really well made and the Ancient Egyptian setting is cool and would inspire Croteam to make Serious Sam so that's rad.

And a good one. I still remembering me, reading in a PC-gaming-Magazin about a couple of new shooters, one of them was "Exhumed". On that article there was only one screenshot and a news about the game. One day, my father and myself saw "Exhumed" in a Store and we purchased it. It was good to play but it feels always strange. And after playing, we stucked on a point in the game and we decide to uninstall it. Later we found out there was a Port for PlayStation and we purchased it and we were fascinated of this PSX-Version. Alone the music was awesome and the Slavedriver-Engine was fascinating too. We were confused, why there are different versions of this game out? I beated "Exhumed" just a couple of years back from today and i was surprised about the final Levels. I was lucky to play it without knowing the ending of "Exhumed". My favourite Version will be still the PSX-Version, but i'm very happy about different game-versions. It makes fun and the game have a interesting history. I LOVE Exhumed. :-)

Exhumed/Powerslave Dehacker fixes strafing, which always been ruining Dos version of game. Game is ok, I would not call it hidden gem. It is one of the better looking Build engine games, even if it lacks slopes and all that kind of sh*t. Bright, colourfull, althought brown textures are quality work. I would say it is graphics wise best looking Build engine game, above Duke and Shadow Warrior. But outside of graphics is generic. It is not as fast and minimalistic as Doom, nor interactive like Duke. I still wait if Kex engine version would be console port, those take everything good from this and invents it's own thing.
