EDIT 2: A year later, the things I really enjoyed about this game don't really exist anymore. The Marco Polo game mode isn't what it used to be, and aside from that, there is still no player base, so getting a game up and running is nearly impossible. The map generation code was altered and I'm not a fan of it. The cute little islands and mountains that used to pop up were replaced with rolling hills and extremely large areas. The charm that originally brought me in is no longer there. I'm changing my review from recommended to not recommended, hopefully in the future I can change it back. (12/31/20)
EDIT: Since writing this review, Capture the Flag has been created and is playable. (12/6/19)
Power, in its current iteration, is a game where you fly around and collect shiny rainbow boxes that have been filled with weapons of mass destruction in order for you to destroy your opponents because that's cool.
The only game mode available right now, which I believe is called Marco Polo, is a free for all elimination based game with 8 players. You all drop into a procedurally generated map which sometimes looks like a dragon or a dinosaur from up above (you'll just have to take my word for it), and everyone scrambles to find those beautiful rainbow boxes. There are five different guns each with their own niche, and various powerups to find as well. Each gun, except the shotgun, has explosive rounds which blow up the terrain and cause splash damage. Everything is exaggerated intentionally - jump, explosions, speed. It's fast paced and fun. In my four hours of play time currently, it's only been done in two sessions - so this game passes time pretty easily. If you have any number of friends you can all hop into a game and just blast each other and scream at each other and just have a good time.
From what I've seen, the game is optimized and I've hardly had to deal with lag issues. This wasn't the case when I first started, which is a +1 to the devs for fixing the issue very quickly and efficiently with an open line of communication.
At the time of writing this review, they host a weekly tournament through the discord. If you're interested in that you should definitely swing by the discord and see what's up.
To conclude, if you like fast paced action, explosions, jetpacks (which... I didn't mention yet :) ), aerial combat, underwater action, digging tunnels for defense, building walls for defense, blowing up said walls to destroy your friends, going fast, zooming, skiing on water, etc etc etc: this game is probably for you and I'd recommend giving it a shot.
Right now, the community is pretty small so if you don't have friends also getting the game you'll have to ask for a game through the discord. I've never seen anyone get shot down or not be able to get a game going.
I received this game for free because I've been helping the devs test the game and balance fix and whatnot. If I'm being quite honest, in the games current state, I wouldn't pay 15$ for it. The reason being there's only one game mode and a very small community.
The devs are extremely attentive to feedback, and are extremely responsive via their discord - which I believe is linked up above. They have quite a bit of plans for the game and I believe this game has a lot of potential to be something great.
