The highly anticipated *Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown* has made its way to Android devices, following its initial release on PC back in January 2024. Developed by Ubisoft, this metroidvania action game thrusts you into the shoes of Sargon, a young warrior and member of the elite group known as the Immortals.
Here’s the Story
Your mission begins with a directive from Queen Thomyris to rescue her son, Prince Ghassan. This quest leads you to the mystical yet perilous Mount Qaf. Once a divine city, it's 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* is brimming with diversity, featuring areas like a ruined temple and a forgotten desert. The vast yet interconnected map even allows you to snap photos of your surroundings, enhancing your exploration.
The game introduces innovative mechanics, such as the ability to drop a shadow and teleport back to it at any time, which significantly enhances the dynamism of platforming and combat. Scattered throughout the map are amulets that let you customize Sargon’s abilities to suit your playstyle. Sargon also has access to powerful ultimate moves called Athra Surges, perfect for finishing off enemies. Additionally, various quests delve into the lore of Mount Qaf and offer a plethora of collectibles and challenges to keep you engaged. Be sure to check out the trailer for a glimpse of the action:
