In recent years, mobile gaming has been bridging the gap between what's available on larger platforms and what fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. A prime example is the upcoming release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, a 2.5D platformer set to launch on iOS and Android on April 14th. This game arrives at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft, but it's poised to capture attention with its engaging Metroidvania-style action.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown is the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. Players will embody the fearless hero Sargon on a quest to rescue Prince Ghassan, navigating the mystical Mount Qaf. The game retains the series' signature parkour-style platforming while enhancing it with intense hack 'n slash combat. You'll string together combos and harness time-altering powers to overcome deadly foes.
Adding to its appeal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will debut with a try-before-you-buy model. This feature allows players to dive into the game and assess its appeal before committing to a purchase, making it an attractive option for those on the fence.
Initially, some criticized the 2.5D platforming of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown as outdated, especially when compared to the latest cutting-edge releases. However, on mobile devices, this fully fleshed-out experience is likely to resonate with a very eager audience, offering a nostalgic yet fresh take on the beloved series.
