Oooh yeah, the prince is back!
Well actually… in this game you’re not the Prince of Persia but Sargon one of the Persian Immortals, an elite team of warriors, on a mission to rescue the prince who has been kidnapped. The game goes back to the 2D roots of the original PoP but with a nice metroidvania flavour.
Having played the demo I can tell you that they’ve nailed the fast, fluid and slick movement that games like this depend on. The other pillars of a good metroidvania are the setting or game world and the boss fights. The demo gives you a taste of the interesting Persian mythology and Mount Qaf is a place of magic, mystery and danger. The demo ends just before you face the boss leaving you wanting more.
If this looks like your kind of game, definitely check out the demo on Ubi Connect or the Epic Games Store.
The game has received glowing reviews, great to see a Prince of Persia game back in the limelight.
It’s the complete lack of any regional pricing that gets me. Buy through Epic and we pay the full US/EUR price converted at our shitty Rand exchange rates. Buy directly from Ubi and we are channel to the European store and have to pay in Euro anyway.
