In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap between mobile and larger platforms, offering experiences that rival their console and PC counterparts. One such exciting release is the upcoming Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This game marks a thrilling addition to mobile gaming, especially during a tumultuous time for its developer, Ubisoft.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players take on the role of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan amidst the mythical landscapes of Mount Qaf.
The game stays true to its roots with its emphasis on parkour-style platforming, enhanced by engaging hack 'n slash action. Players will string together combos and harness time-altering powers to combat deadly enemies, making for a dynamic gameplay experience.
Prince of Persia: Lost Crown also introduces a try-before-you-buy model, allowing players to dive into the game and assess its appeal before committing to the full purchase. This feature is particularly appealing for those unsure about their interest in the game.
While some criticized the 2.5D platforming as outdated upon its initial release, the mobile version of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is poised to capture a new audience. Its Metroidvania-style action stands out and promises to deliver a fully fleshed-out experience that mobile gamers will eagerly embrace.
