Bringing Back the Basics
After a decade without a mainline release, Prince of Persia is making a comeback with The Lost Crown, a 2D platformer that stays true to the series' roots.
A Different Kind of Difficulty
The Lost Crown offers a new kind of challenge with its metroidvania-style gameplay. Players will navigate hidden areas and tackle difficult platforming sections, all while unlocking new abilities that enhance the puzzle-solving experience.
Intense Boss Fights
While the regular enemies may not pose much of a threat, the boss fights in The Lost Crown are intense and require well-timed parries to overcome. However, the limited number of parry opportunities and lengthy animations can make these battles challenging.
Choose Your Difficulty
If platforming is your main focus, The Lost Crown offers options to make it easier and allow players to enjoy the game the way they prefer. This flexibility ensures that everyone can have a fulfilling experience.
A Love Letter to Fans
The Lost Crown pays homage to fans of 2D platformers with its sleek and fast-paced movement mechanics. It's a game that captures the essence of the genre and provides a satisfying experience for players.
A Weak Story
While the gameplay shines, the story of The Lost Crown falls short. The focus on telling rather than showing the relationships between characters leaves players feeling disconnected and uninterested.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a must-play for fans of 2D platformers who are looking for a return to the series' roots. Experience the challenging platforming, intense boss fights, and sleek movement mechanics for yourself with the available demo on all platforms.
