What players say

Players describe POWERNAUT 2 as a brutally hard throwback reminiscent of Mega Man and Metroid, with randomly assembled level chunks. There are significant technical complaints: some users report crashes, keyboard input problems, and random frame drops that made the game unplayable, while others find it too short and repetitive for its difficulty.
