It seems to function by allowing him to absorb energy (in the trailer's case the spider droid's laser) and then release it all at once in a proportionatly powerfull attack. If this is how it works (and I could easily be wrong, this is just speculation), then it would only be OP on the rare occasion that he gets hit by something really powerfull, like the spider droid blast, otherwise it's usefullness would be limited.

That sounds reasonable to me. (It probably doesn't help that Adam needs "some time" to prepare "moonslice", limiting when he can use it in battle)
