Egyptian-catacomb FPS based on the Build engine. Unique atmosphere with ancient settings and varied bestiary. An interesting alternative to genre heavyweights on Saturn, still pleasant to play through.

Collector interest

Exhumed is the PAL version of Powerslave, a Lobotomy Software FPS whose SlaveDriver engine ran remarkably well on Saturn, often cited as one of the machine's best first-person shooters. The European print run, held down by the limited PAL base, is markedly rarer than versions on other systems. Its appeal rests on that recognised technical feat and on steady demand among retro FPS enthusiasts.

Is Exhumed still worth playing in 2026?

Exhumed, alias Powerslave, is a Lobotomy Software FPS set in a fantasized ancient Egypt, in which you explore labyrinthine temples while unlocking new abilities in a metroidvania manner. The non-linear exploration structure, the progressive powers and the polished Egyptian mood make it one of the machine's best FPS, surprisingly rich. The handling takes some getting used to. For fans of exploratory retro FPS and ingenious level design, it is an overlooked gem, well above average.
