In recent years, the mobile gaming scene has been increasingly mirroring the experiences found on larger platforms. A prime example is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer, which is set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This release comes at a time of significant shifts 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 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 amidst the treacherous landscapes of 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 enjoy stringing together combos and leveraging Sargon's time-altering powers to conquer formidable foes.
A notable feature of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. This allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding to purchase the full version, making it an attractive option for those unsure about committing to the game.
While some critics initially viewed the 2.5D platforming as outdated when the game was first released, the mobile format offers a fresh perspective. The fully fleshed-out experience is likely to captivate a new audience eager for a rich gaming experience on their smartphones.
