According to project director ASCII, the primary inspirations for Masks of Power are Nier: Automata and Monster Hunter, which influenced the combat and enemy design, respectively. Project creator Jordan Willis also cited Horizon: Zero Dawn as an inspiration, calling it "basically Bionicle without the trademark". The game is made using Unreal Engine. ==Development==
