In recent years, it seems as if mobile gaming enthusiasts are increasingly getting a taste of what the so-called bigger platforms are enjoying. Among these, the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown for iOS and Android on April 14th is particularly exciting. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a turbulent time for Ubisoft but distinguishes itself with its Metroidvania-style action, which should resonate well with mobile gamers.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan as you navigate the mythical Mount Qaf. The game retains the series' signature parkour-style platforming, enriched with intense hack 'n slash combat. Players will weave together combos and harness time-altering powers to confront deadly adversaries, making for a thrilling experience.
One of the standout features of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is its try-before-you-buy model. This allows players to dive into the game and assess its appeal before committing to the full purchase, a perfect opportunity to see if the game suits your gaming style.
When Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, some criticized its 2.5D platforming as outdated, especially for those accustomed to the latest and most advanced gaming experiences.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 adventure is likely to capture a highly enthusiastic audience, eager for a rich gaming experience on the go.
