Funcionament (Joc)

Controls bàsics

Power Stone utilizes a simplified control scheme for accessibility. Movement is controlled via the analog stick, allowing for full 3D arena navigation.

  • Stick analògic: Move character in any direction.
  • Un botó: Punch / Attack
  • Botó B: Kick / Attack
  • Botó X: Saltar
  • Botó Y: Action (e.g., pick up items, interact with environment)
  • L/R Triggers: Combinations for throws and super moves.

Game Mechanics

The core objective is to defeat your opponent by utilizing the environment and collecting Power Stones.

  • Interactive Environments: Each battle arena is fully interactive. Players can pick up and throw various objects such as crates, benches, and signs.
  • Weapon Power-ups: Throughout the match, various weapon power-ups will appear, including hammers, swords, pistols, flamethrowers, Gatling guns, and rocket launchers. These provide temporary offensive advantages.
  • Power Stones: Three Power Stones are present in each arena. Collecting all three transforms your character into a super-being, granting access to powerful fusion moves and enhanced abilities. Opponents can be hit to make them drop their collected stones.
  • Fusion Moves: When transformed, characters can unleash devastating special attacks. These moves consume a portion of your super meter. Using a powerful super move will deplete the entire meter, revert your character to their normal state, and scatter the Power Stones.

Personatges

Power Stone features 8 distinct characters, each possessing unique abilities and fighting styles. Experiment with different characters to find one that suits your preferred combat approach.
