Planned tools and powers

To make it out of HELIOS alive, you'll need to make good use of all the tools and weapons you obtain in the course of the game.

The first and most prominent tool that you recieve is the PSIgauntlet, a sort-of glove-like apparatus worn on the left hand that grants you amazing abilities. The basic powers include

• telekinesis (moving things with your mind)
• thermokinesis (controlling heat, mainly as fire)
• electrokinesis (electrical powers)

As you progress you are able to develop other abilities, and upgrade the ones you have.

Certain tools require both hands to wield due to size. To compensate for the loss of combo options, these are used as boosters for the PSIgauntlet. An example is the PSIbazooka, which has no real energy source of its own, rather drawing on the gauntlet for energy and amplifying its output. You can still control what energy type to use with the gauntlet, but the bazooka forsakes the number of complex attacks in favor of a very big blast.... Heh heh.

The laser pistol is a dual-wield item, meaning that it doesn't need the gauntlet to work. You can shoot enemies and use the gauntlet at the same time. It uses semi-auto fire and supports about 30 seconds of continuous fire before you have to recharge it with a quick swipe over the top with the gauntlet. This is one of the few weapons that cannot be boosted by the gauntlet.

The Disruption Beam fires a continuous beam of energy that stuns and sort of melts any enemies it touches. An overheat constraint prevents constant use, and it too must be periodically recharged with the gauntlet. 

The last weapon for this post is the first weapon you get once the action kicks off: a one-handed katana. You get this from a broken display case in one of the hastily abandoned offices. You can use it alone to hack snd slash, or use the gauntlet to surround the blade with energy for a short time.
