You know that thing where you're playing a game and you're like "ah yes, this one mechanic is basically a slot machine for horny outcomes"? That's Powerless. Not in a bad way. Kind of.

This elf princess with absolutely enormous tits is running a kingdom of Tauren while the king is sick. Every day you get 5 moves, which is never enough. Then you travel overnight to another territory. The names are all randomly generated so one playthrough has you governing "Blightwood" and the next it's "Sunmeadow" or whatever the algorithm spits out. That's actually neat.

It's under construction though. Like really under construction. Half the buttons do nothing. You click on something and just... nothing. The map is small. The story stops abruptly. But there's Twitter updates apparently. Following development feels like watching someone build a car while you're already sitting in it trying to drive.

The breeding box is where everything clicks. You rally soldiers through this pleasure system thing that Nyla the oracle teaches you. She's in the castle kitchen crypt for some reason? The first time you meet her she explains how it works, then later she gives you new scenes. So you're basically unlocking fuck animations through a skill tree disguised as military strategy. Your army gets stronger when you... yeah. The barracks pool is unfinished, the wardrobe works for changing appearance but that's about it. I wish there was more. Which sounds stupid because obviously there will be more, that's the whole point of early development, but still.

Building temples and mills increases production so you can recruit soldiers to invade neighboring territories. Standard 4X stuff except the orc domination angle gets replaced with elf princess domination fantasies. Sometimes I'd forget about the kingdom management entirely and just try to find which buttons actually worked. Like a deranged easter egg hunt. The oracle scenes are genuinely hot though. That pleasure tutorial? Not what I expected from a strategy game tutorial.
