In recent years, mobile gaming has been catching up with the experiences typically found on larger platforms. A prime example is the much-anticipated release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer that's set to hit iOS and Android on April 14th. This game, arriving amidst a tumultuous period for Ubisoft, promises to stand out 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, on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan, navigating the treacherous terrains of the mythical Mount Qaf.
This new installment continues the tradition of the series by emphasizing parkour-style platforming, enhanced with intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will enjoy stringing together combos and utilizing time-altering powers to overcome formidable foes.
To sweeten the deal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will launch with a try-before-you-buy model. This allows players to test the waters before committing to the full purchase, ensuring that you can determine if the game suits your taste without any upfront cost.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was first released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially when compared to the latest and most advanced games. However, on mobile devices, this well-crafted experience is likely to appeal to a broad audience, eager for a deep and satisfying gameplay experience on the go.
