The main objective is to fight through waves of enemy guards by using hand-to-hand combat techniques and progressing through different levels until freedom is achieved.
The game’s pace is fast and action-packed, with continuous enemy encounters requiring quick reflexes and strategic attacks. A distinctive mechanic in P.O.W. involves using environmental objects as weapons, such as picking up items to enhance combat effectiveness. This adds a layer of tactical decision-making beyond standard punching and kicking.
What sets P.O.W. - Prisoners Of War apart is its emphasis on a prison escape storyline combined with side-scrolling fighting gameplay. The mixture of beat ‘em up action and a thematic backdrop of wartime captivity creates a unique experience for Arcade Machine enthusiasts interested in classic fighting games.
