 So I've been playing Pow World now for about 40 plus hours so far and in this video I'll bring you guys more or less everything you need to know about the basics of this game that includes what this game is, how it plays, how it feels, what they have achieved and my personal opinion and what's on offer here. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you do enjoy this video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. So guys this is a game I will be covering upon release guys there's plenty to do in this game so if you want to go ahead and join my discord there's going to be a dedicated channel right there you want to meet people to play with talk about the game the secrets your pals and much much more again join my discord link down below. So this isn't a review as such I mean I just want to bring you guys the details on what to expect from this game what I will say is I plan on playing this thing on the Xbox Series X I did have early access on PC though and for me it was completely flawless no lags no disconnects whatsoever barely any noticeable frame rate drops or anything of that sort I mean my PC isn't the best either I think my graphics card is only like a 2080 32GB so around my barely play on PC it's just there for rendering videos I record on my Xbox and my PC handled this flawlessly on top settings and yes I know it's early days no direct servers are semi-empty and things can change upon release but for me it was completely fine in that regard. So power world if you are watching this video you probably semi-understand what this game is or what it's meant to be me personally I've longed for an open world Pokemon game where you can run around catch those mythical creatures back to your friends level and evolve them up battle bosses of the trainers and just having an amazing adventure at the same time and doing all this on a system capable of handling something and I think we would expect well in that regard this is half of what power world is it more or less hits all the spots I want from the open world Pokemon game all I expect there to be within one of these open world Pokemon games if there ever was going to be one on a true next gen console and also when it comes to battling a major plus for me is it isn't turn based something that really put me off the majority of Pokemon games I've played in the past so a quick summary of what this video will go over in regards to what power world offers there's three sides to this game there's probably the major side where you can explore the open world and capture these mythical creatures where you can use them to battle and do so much more with them there's also another major side to this game where you build your base which is truly deep with so many things for you to do and there's also the side guys where you go out into that open world battle different trainers battle different people battle different bosses find and explore dungeons level up level up your powers and do so much more we will get into all of that today so with power world the open world is utterly massive the powers i.e the Pokemon the creatures of this game are uniquely designed they all offer and do very exclusive things they ain't limited and they don't really feel copy and paste in regards to what they offer which is a great thing in my opinion i think in a game unreleased there's only just over 100 in said game if you compare that to pokemon i lost track at about 700 but let a pokemon kind of look and feel a little copy and paste i don't feel that with power world which is a great great thing some more is definitely not better in that regard so like i said there's only 100 plus i think it's like 111 powers in this game for you to go around and collect but they have promised that more will be added there are various different types too these types obviously can interact with each other in regards to fighting and having advantages on the battlefield as you'd expect against other powers and different various types with electric strung against water but then weak against rock kind that kind of thing definitely goes on within this game now catching said powers isn't that straightforward though ones that are of a higher level require a lot more working out the aim is to bring them down to a really low health and then chuck your sphere at them this game is pokeable now dependent on power level your level your catching ability which you level up as you play there is a percentage bar that obviously when closer to that 100 percent your chances of catching said power increases but it's never really a guarantee unless it states 100 percent within my experience i've tried catching powers five levels higher than me spent 50 minutes shooting them with arrows to get them to a one shot i chucked my pokeball at them and it comes up with like a 35 chance of catching them and they spring straight out of you but yes you work out and learn different techniques and things you cannot relate to in the game which will assist you in catching different types of these powers and there are multiple types of powers too we have ground air water as you'd expect creatures more apparent at night and so forth so in this regard the developers have really just progressed upon what pokemon game should be offering by now and in my opinion have almost nailed it now there is so much more to these powers within this game in regards to hatching babies gain eggs and incubating them evolving them so to speak them learning new abilities through you giving them upgrades or them leveling themselves up and learning them each power will have other benefits like working for you in regards to base building item crafting and things of that nature even things like certain powers generate and operate power for your base powers that watch your babies watch those eggs powers to find materials for you and so forth powers also unlock certain blueprints you purchase upon catching them so it really isn't just about catching said power for its fighting capabilities they offer way more than this guys and like i said with over 100 in the game upon its release there's loads for you to do and collect so as i said earlier the powers are only half of what this game offers well maybe a little over half but still there's so much more to do and besides just collecting these powers and making use of them there's a massive base building side to this game where you literally have to build a home for yourself and your pals if you guys have ever played arc while this is the perfect example of what would happen if that prime primitive arc had a baby with pokemon that baby would 100% be called power world also throwing a dash of Hogwarts legacies the varium in two that is what we have here now as i loved arc and have spent a lot of my life outside of youtube playing this game i knew i'd love this side of power world and i do so a lot like arc as you level up your unlock points which you can purchase blueprints with which help you on your journey as well as you obviously getting points to put into your character where you can level up your health your stamina your carry weight etc etc now the blueprints we will take a quick look at these include uh farmable weapons you can build items to build structures armor workbenches repair stations traps beds i mean everything you can imagine or mostly probably want did i also mention guys this game does include weapons and i mean not weapons like bowls i'm talking weapons like pistols machine guns and even launchers that you can strap to your pals where you can use them in battle unbelievable i mean it is still early days for me yet i mean yes i've used a few weapons here and there in regards to being able to strap a launcher to a pal that's literally a max level unlock and i haven't got that far yet now what i was worried about looking at the trailer to this game and seeing these weapons in action against pals being such a massive fan of pokemon and this being so far away from pokemon is unreal which initially when i was watching the trailers it wasn't really sitting right with me i mean pokemon yes arc kinder but running around with guns it just didn't sit right but now i've actually experienced it for myself and i've played it for myself what i will say is and i won't lie about this with the nature of this game being like a hybrid it does kind of feel like it's trying to do its own thing or i guess trying to smoke screwing it but in regards to going from a primitive bow to a heavy machine gun to catch a pal it actually doesn't feel as far as i thought it would do i mean it kind of suits the game this is so in my opinion the inclusion of these heavy arsenal weapons do not actually take away from this game but that's just my opinion so yes guys a lot like arc it's like that pyramid structure you start from the bottom you farm materials to craft better things which allow you to farm better materials to craft better items this is definitely a massive part of what pal world also is besides just running around the open world catching those pals but a little more on the base building i don't know people are interested in this aspect of the game the stuff you can create is from as simple as beds for you and your pals to rest in to factory lines for your pals to push out items at a faster rate from simple arrows for your bow to mounted missile launchers from mounted fire torches to full on industrial sealing lights to your power box which is where you store the powers you have collected apply them to work at your base to do work for you or a place for them to recover after being knocked out in battle there's a lot you can build here and craft here which we'll check out in a second so to start the game you create your character with not the biggest customization options i have ever seen you are then let loose into a massive open world without the start only tutorials to progress for xp in regards to story and lore i once found anything in regards to story i mean so far it just seems like we've been basically let free to explore and just do our own thing now in regards to lore which i know a lot of people would love in this kind of game there are items you can find which are actually your journal there's a little story here i guess but upon you seeing and capturing certain pal so actually every pal in the game you do gain information on them from your pal deck now your pal deck basically like a polka dex now there are world bosses there are events there are trainers of the trainers that are a pain in the ass you're trying to take out these are like the game's bosses so yeah there's plenty more to do besides just run around and catching pals i mean it's like a constant flow of endgame if you get my gist so checking out your inventory screen this consists of what you collect anything from food to feed yourself and your hard working pals to materials upgrades keys that unlock chests for that rare loot to eggs which you can incubate and hatch babies to medicine and so forth they can apply four weapons to your character these can be farming tools to bowls to guns accessories we do have a couple of slots for us too we have headwear body shield and a glider which all can be applied at the same time and of course quick slots for food at the bottom now on the right hand side of your screen we have character stats like level health and food and then we have stats which you do indeed level up upon you gaining levels on your character if we tab across we have our party which are your pals which you can have on you and using battle one at a time at the moment for me you also have details in each pal where you can name change upgrade them and see what they are capable of doing in regards to work suitability and much more now the technology tab is where you want like blueprints which you can access via leveling up and catching certain pals there are 50 levels of items here too so plenty for you to unlock and play around with on your adventures now the next tab is your pal deck this is where you see information on pals you have seen or catch again as of right now there's over 100 here but they have promised more will be added the next tab is that guild tab here is basically where you create those guilds those clans and being able to have 32 people in your own server or in those public servers you can invite friends join a friends guild or do what you want to do here now while we are here we might as well talk about multiplayer it is a thing in the base game upon release now the game is said to be a PvE VP I think you will be able to battle your friends but in regards to the open world public servers I think the PvP side of the game they are still working on so upon release it won't be just direct PvP I think both players will have to accept battle in that regard now in regards to crossplay but don't quote me on this I do believe as of right now or upon release it will not be a feature of the game but I think it's something they are again working on now the next tab is your general options now an important note to make you can play within your own world with your own settings which you can more or less do anything from increase those XP gains carry away infinite stamina material farming damage output I mean you really can create your own world to play through here with these custom settings this can be done to existing worlds too I mean if you don't like your own settings you can back out to the main menu and change them at a later date this is a great option I have experimented with and it's great for people who want to play like offline do your own thing so yes guys I am loving power world so far it's way better than I expected it to be not only did I expect it to be buggy a bit laggy upon release it completely is the opposite for me but I did expect it just to be like a complete ripoff of pokemon but there is so much more to this game and again if you're a fan of pokemon if you're a fan of arc this is for you 100% again I thought it was just going to be a poor man pokemon ripoff but it's completely the opposite I'm addicted I am loving it from being able to just really explore find secret hidden dungeons with secret bosses rare timed boss born ins which you can catch by the way if you see a boss in the open world and you take him down to a minimal health you do have a chance of capturing said boss and using it in the future I'm also a massive fan of the building up my own base and working on it all the time and just learning things as I go on and that's exactly what I'm getting from this game so far but there we have it guys the basics to power world and more or less everything you need to know but if you do have a question leave a
