In recent years, mobile gaming has seen an exciting trend where high-caliber titles traditionally enjoyed on larger platforms are making their way to our smartphones. A prime example is the much-anticipated release of Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, set to hit iOS and Android on April 14th. This 2.5D platformer arrives at a tumultuous time for Ubisoft, but it promises to captivate players with its Metroidvania-style action.
Set in a mythological Persian-inspired world, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown marks the latest reboot of the iconic platformer series. You'll step into the shoes of the fearless hero Sargon, embarking on a thrilling quest to rescue Prince Ghassan across the mythical Mount Qaf. The game combines the series' signature parkour-style platforming with intense hack 'n slash action, allowing you to string together combos and harness time-altering powers to battle formidable foes.
Adding to its appeal, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown will launch with a try-before-you-buy model on both iOS and Android. This feature allows players to dive into the game and experience it firsthand before deciding whether to unlock the full version, making it an excellent opportunity to assess if the game suits your taste.
While some have critiqued the 2.5D platforming as outdated when Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was initially released, the mobile version offers a fully fleshed-out experience that could resonate well with mobile gamers seeking a rich and engaging adventure. The game's unique blend of nostalgia and modern gameplay mechanics could indeed find a very eager audience on mobile devices.
