I have the power! And so can you, for under 1 dollar on your iPhone. It has been a long time since I bought something from the Master Of The Universe collection. Hell, a VERY long time. But once I was a kid of the 80’s who loved everything about He-Man. The cartoon , the comics and especially the toy-line. I still own many of the action figures and vehicles to this day where they wait in storage for my son to discover in the future. So, when I heard of a He-Man game on iOS I was cautiously excited. And the bottom line here is, if you liked He-Man back in the day you might as well go download this 0.99 cent game right now. Sure, He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe is a pretty non serious and lighthearted iOS title that’s nothing more than an hack and slash platform game, but it is still a lot of fun and it brings back some good retro memories. The visuals are bright and colorful, albeit maybe a bit too cartoon like. The controls work pretty well by using a floating D-Pad for jumping and attacking while the left side of the screen allows you to move back and forward. You can upgrade He-Mans powers with gems that you collect in game. You can even summon Man At Arms to come help you at times of need. Of course, and most importantly, you can summon the power of Castle Grayskull by saying ” I HAVE THE POWER”! This will make you all but invincible allowing you to break down walls and defeat the biggest of bad guys with ease. The levels are pretty good, but due to the platform on which it was made somewhat short. The good news is that there are many levels and a lot of incentive to go back and collect items that you missed out on the first time around. So, if your looking for a hack an slasher on your iPhone but don’t know who He-Man is the game is still worth your dollar. On the other hand if you know the 80’s cartoon and Toy icon and remember him fondly this is a “insta buy” in my opinion ! Check out a few screens I took of the game below as always.
