In recent years, mobile gaming has increasingly brought experiences typically reserved for larger platforms directly to our smartphones. A prime example is the eagerly awaited Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer that's set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This release comes at a turbulent time for Ubisoft, yet Prince of Persia: Lost Crown distinguishes itself with its engaging Metroidvania-style action.
Set in a richly detailed, mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown marks the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You'll take on the role of the valiant hero Sargon, embarking on a perilous journey to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mystical Mount Qaf.
The game stays true to the series' roots with its signature parkour-style platforming, enhanced by intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will weave together dynamic combos and harness time-altering powers to confront formidable foes.
Crowned with innovation, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown also introduces a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows players to dive into the game for a taste of what's on offer before deciding whether to purchase the full experience.
While some critics initially felt the 2.5D platforming was a bit outdated upon the game's original release, this style could prove to be a perfect fit for mobile devices. The fully fleshed-out experience is likely to captivate mobile gamers looking for depth and engagement in their gaming sessions.
