Description

Set in 1941, Prisoner of War (POW) is a unique, third-person action/adventure game that pays homage to Allied escape attempts from POW camps during World War II. Gameplay takes place across tightly guarded German POW camps, where Captain Lewis Stone, an American Flight Officer, must use his resourcefulness to escape and eventually fulfil his surveillance mission and report back to Churchill’s Special Operations Executive in London. Once in camp, Stone must communicate with other prisoners and use stealth to avoid guards, spotlights and dogs in an effort to gather as much information and equipment as possible while plotting the best escape route. Stone must then race for freedom in dramatic escape sequences that can range from impersonating a guard to engineering mass escapes before calling in Allied air strikes using the Germans’ own radio.
