Best would be to try out PowerslaveEX port for the Saturn/PS version, and sirlemonhead's PC port of Powerslave for the DOS version. Both work fine in Windows 10 64 bit.

You can find them both in a .rar here:

https://mega.nz/folder/y1sRHSqb#iC34TYjpr5fWmDpAgSpybQ

Under Windows 98 Games, then simply extract to a location and play

Prime Target, sort of. It's set in a single large hub-like skyscraper with levels divided between floors that require keys and quest items. But there aren't any power-ups. Uses the Marathon engine.

It's a little more eurominimalist which in this case I don't care for. Show off the cool enemy designs and the wicked environments. It's much cooler that way. The only thing wrong with it is the mercenary has a shotgun. This isn't some Ico vs Ico scenario. The angle and energy of the art even reminds me of this fine work of 90s pulp.

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 24 17:59:04 2020 No.6369127 >>6369117 I dunno - exhumed has a much more ominous cover which is a good fit for the game (especially if you get the bad end) whereas as you say powerslave is more in your face and - for once - actually representative of gameplay.

Chunky combat like some build engine games, but very smooth movement. Feels like each part of it was carefully considered. First attempts at levels feel lengthy but when you revisit them to do a secret or an alternate route you feel like you have total power of it, weaving in and out of it like it's nothing.
