Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the latest title in Ubisoft’s iconic saga, has made its debut on mobile devices, specifically for Android, just a year and three months after its release on next-gen consoles. This 2.5D metroidvania-style game combines action and exploration in an environment that recalls the franchise’s roots, offering players the chance to enjoy a complete experience on small screens.
An excellent game for which you need a controller
In The Lost Crown, players take control of Sargon, a hero tasked with rescuing a prince in a cursed city filled with monsters. The game’s mechanics focus on challenging combat that demands dodging skills, precise counterattacks, and time manipulation, keeping players in constant tension during each encounter.
Ubisoft has perfectly adapted the entire experience of the original game for its mobile version, allowing users to enjoy a campaign that is estimated to last around 18 hours. In addition, the game’s map is extensive and full of secrets to discover, ensuring that fans of the metroidvania genre will find plenty of content to explore.
For those who prefer to play with touch controls, Ubisoft has implemented customization options that enhance the experience, although using a controller is recommended for smoother gameplay. Among these settings are automatic locking, the use of potions, and automatic attacks, which are especially useful in the more difficult battles.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has received a positive reception from critics and fans, highlighting its potential on mobile platforms. The title is now available on Google Play Store, including a free trial, inviting new players to dive into this nostalgic return of the saga.
