In recent years, we've been treated to an increasing number of high-quality games traditionally seen on larger platforms, now making their way to mobile devices. One such title is the eagerly anticipated Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This release comes at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft, but the game's Metroidvania-style action promises to make it stand out.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players will step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan as they explore the mystical Mount Qaf. The game combines the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat, allowing players to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to defeat formidable foes.
To help players decide if the game is right for them, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will launch with a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows users to experience the game before committing to a purchase, ensuring they get a taste of the action before deciding to unlock the full experience.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to resonate well with an audience eager for quality gameplay.
