PowerSlave is a hidden gem of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation era. A retro fps that mixed the gameplay of DooM with the exploration of Metroid making it one of the first FPS Metroidvania. Over the years PowerSlave has fallen into obscurity but now by way of Nightdive Studios we can enjoy this unique retro shooter with a much-needed spit shine. Is this Metroidvania FPS worth your time? Find out in this PowerSlave Exhumed Review.

What a great review, the history was actually interesting, the comparisons - insightful, and you didn't sugar coat the negatives. Somebody give this man more subs!
Congrats on the GOG affiliate
Thank you!
I've already watched a 30 minute review of PowerSlave Exhumed. Guess I'll watch this one too (bc I know it's gonna be gooood) :D
EDIT: Loved the review. Excellent work sir!
Thank you!
Civvie's channel sucks balls.
I love this game so much! Glad to see you cover it
Yeah I'm really glad I finally got to talk about it.
Hi there, loved the review. Just wanted to let you know that I have a mod that not only reduces the radius of projectiles and makes them easier to avoid, but also removes the traps from breakables. You can find it on ModDB, it's called "P:E: Custom Edition"
Congratulations on the promotion
Great review Kirk! Alot more in depth than just a simple review, all relevant and interesting, look forward to seeing more - thanks for your hard work! Looks like Nightdive have done it again!
Great video as always, Kirk! You've become my go-to FPS RUclipsr and I'm really happy for your success!
I remember searching for that gamme back when i owned a saturn in elementary school ut couldnt find it available anywhere!
I stumbled into the rmaster a few days back and bought it immediately!amazing game so far!
WOW! DUDE! Thank you so much! I didn't even know those were two different games back in the day. Moreover, I had not a single clue, that these games were released about a year ago. Thanks a lot! Subscribed!
Excellent review.
Might check this out.
Loved your review! Nightdive can do no wrong.
Except release this without mouse invert options, and here we are a month out from release and no update or acknowledgement
@@ShanePajak People play with inverted controls? Lol.
Anyways, I'd say Blood Fresh Supply was probably their worst release.
I 100%ed each of the achievements of PowerSlave Exhumed just about a week prior to writing this comment. It my 26th and latest game on Steam to set foot on my Perfect Games list. PowerSlave is basically Metroid Prime before Metroid Prime existed! Both games having enemies that are worm like lava monsters in several of stages with lava in them. Nice video btw!
Happy to see you've gotten a GOG affiliate link! Great review as always, hope more people discover your channel every day!
Excellent video, really enjoyed watching this. Thanks. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review again Kirk 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Quite happy to see you did a review of this game. And I 100% agree with you. What makes Nightdive so fantastic is that they not only remaster games, they make games that deserve to be remember be back. What games you'd like to see them remaster in the future, by the way?
I personally really want a port of Blood on switch.
And... who knows... maybe a remaster of Goldeneye 007...? Nah... that's not going to happen. But what if...
Eh, honestly their Blood remaster is the worst of their remasters.
@@Nevergofullretard321It got fixed with patches
Between this, Serious Sam, and the Egyptian levels in unreal tournament: Egypt is most aesthetic fps setting.
Man, If i had money I'd probably buy this game
honestly i preferred the pc version. Better more memorable level design, while the console versions have tight bland corridors. Also each weapon has its own ammo pickups instead of having to rely to randomized ammo pickups that give ammo only for the weapon you have. The bakctracking was confusing since every area looks alike. Sadly there is no remaster of the pc version but since its build engine you can use gdx or raze sourceports to get mouse and strafing. speaking of source ports, the kex engine gave modding capabilities to blood fresh supply someone made a gameplay weapons and enemies mod called extra crispy that worths checking out, i hope this also gets mods. Also there is a mod for doom that is a remake of the first few levels with new stuff such as a shotgun, its worth checking out...and nother thing worth's checking out is ashes 2063.
I knew something about the game felt "off" when I played and you pretty much explained it. Those issues you listed sound like they could annoy the shit out of me.
Being an FPS vet, I played through this first time on Hard, and I regretted that before long. When several randomised pots in a row killed me, I called bullshit and started using the health cheat just to get through the game in a reasonable time! Wish I'd watched this excellent review beforehand as I'd probably have stuck to Normal if I'd known about this little devilish design decision.
Now they just need to remaster Serious Sam: Next Encounter, and I can die a happy man
Nintendo should learn from this people!
Agreed!
Picked this game up (PC version) back in the 90's from a local supermarket of all places. I have a rather soft spot for Egyptian themed levels (so the Serious Sam games get _some_ love) but I remember really enjoying the entire game. Frustrating... yes but very satisfying when you finally finish that level you've been dying on for a couple of hours.
Ill buy it on sale some day, but they have to add invert mouse first.
I played this on my channel.
Wheeeee
Hope Iron Maiden doesn't sue Nightdive like they did to Ion Fury lol.
I hope they make a physical copy on consoles for Powerslave Exhumed. Definitely would buy 1 as I've never owned or played the PS1 or Sega Saturn versions. It may happen as the Shadow Man Remaster recently got one for both PS4 and Switch.
Speaking of GOG, they've got all the Crusader: No Remorse/No Regret and classic Syndicate games on there too. Wish those would get remastered for both current consoles and pc as well. Same for Soldier of Fortune.
SCP Pandemic, while rough Early Access, might be worth a try too.
Dude I wouldn't be shocked if they did lol
I wouldn't be shocked if Limited Run was already working on it. I'd love to snatch a copy for myself and put it next to my original playstation version.
To this day, I still call it Ion Maiden.
@KIRK COLLECTS, Did the PS1 original release in those paper/plastic long box or the regular CD jewel case?
It's probably gonna be Limited Run, they did the physical copies for Turok 1&2 and Shadow Man. Although, Sifu's physical copy is being released through retail stores. So, ya never know.
Dream Nightdive Studios remasters would be Aliens Vs Predator 2 and The Punisher 2005. We haven't gotten a great Punisher game since the 2005 one.
I think there was a decent Punisher arcade game or Sega Genesis one...
Power slave ótimo jogo recomendo saiu para ps4
I hated that nightdive did not have the guts to add the PC death animation and the slightly gore from those fishes - at least 😮💨
Could you review Shadow Warrior 3?
I heard that you could choose between the Saturn and Playstation levels in this version, but I saw no option to do so in the game options.
You can't. It's primarily Saturn with aspects of the Playstation levels mixed in
No you can't the levels are mostly based on the Saturn version with additional bits from the PlayStation version added in. The only exceptions are Cavern of Peril and Kilmaat Colony which were completely different between the two versions so the PlayStation versions are added as additional levels but renamed to Well of Souls and Kilmaat Sanctuary.
0:05 what game is this?
Boomerang X. I have a review of it if you're interested, solid game.
@@KIRKCOLLECTS thx
Post void
Why didn't you talk about the story?
There wasn’t much too talk about in that department besides the premise so I decided to leave it out.
I'm glad you are a GOG affiliate, but from now on I will always prefer Steam whenever there's a choice. Seeing how GOG completely shutdown the market for the Russian consumers. I mean this just a slap in the face to a lot of loyal consumers, many of whom probably preferred GOG over Steam. I'm glad I wasn't one of them. Just goes to show you: never put trust in a corporation.
The genre should be called Metroid-like. Metroid did everything first and best. The Vania part doesn't belong. I guess I'll start calling anything like a from game a souls-nioh. Same difference
Turok for N64 did the Metroid style gameplay first me thinks.
