In recent years, mobile gaming has increasingly mirrored the experiences of larger platforms, bringing high-quality games directly to our smartphones. A prime example is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This game arrives at a pivotal moment for Ubisoft, amidst a whirlwind of activity, yet it distinguishes itself with its engaging Metroidvania-style action.
Set against a backdrop of a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown marks the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players will step into the boots of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf.
True to the series' roots, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown enhances the parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will weave together complex combos and harness time-altering powers to conquer formidable foes.
Adding to its appeal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown introduces a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding to unlock the full version, offering a risk-free way to assess if the game meets their expectations.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated. However, for those accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences, this style may seem refreshingly nostalgic. On mobile devices, this fully realized game is poised to capture the hearts of a new, eager audience.
