In recent years, it seems as if we're getting a bit more of a taste of what the so-called bigger platforms are enjoying. Yet, it's still surprising to see new releases that would seamlessly fit on smartphones, like the upcoming Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, which is set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft but distinguishes itself with its Metroidvania-style action, promising to capture the attention of mobile gamers.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown marks the latest reboot of the classic platformer series. You'll take on the role of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan as you navigate the mythical Mount Qaf. This game blends the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash action, allowing you to string together combos and utilize time-altering powers to conquer deadly enemies.
One of the standout features of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. If you're unsure about diving in, you can experience the game first-hand and then decide whether to unlock the full version if it meets your expectations.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for those accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to find a very eager audience, appreciating the charm and depth of this style.
