The highly anticipated Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has now made its way to Android devices, following its initial release on PC in January 2024. Developed by Ubisoft, this metroidvania action game casts you as Sargon, a youthful warrior from the elite group known as the Immortals.
Here's the Story
Your mission begins with Queen Thomyris tasking you and your squad to rescue her son, Prince Ghassan. This quest leads you to Mount Qaf, once a divine city, now a chaotic realm teeming with time-warped creatures and cursed landscapes.
Despite being a single mountain, Mount Qaf in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown offers diverse environments ranging from a ruined temple to a forgotten desert. The expansive yet interconnected map allows you to capture photos of your surroundings, adding a unique exploration element to the game.
The game introduces innovative mechanics like dropping a shadow and teleporting back to it at will, which enhances the fluidity of platforming and combat. Scattered across the map are amulets that can modify Sargon's abilities, adding depth to your gameplay experience.
Sargon's ultimate moves, known as Athra Surges, are perfect for finishing off fights with flair. Additional quests enrich the lore of Mount Qaf, while offering numerous collectibles and challenges. For a glimpse into the action, check out the game's trailer below.
