Summary

The Power is a platform/adventure game with the focus on exploration and action, no puzzles. It has 5 different locations on one planet, many weapons, items and upgrades.

There are also plenty of boss fights and 2 different endings depending if you get all items or not. The graphics style and the game overall is simplistic but still I hope you have a good time.
