Attention all Prince of Persia fans! Ubisoft's latest 2.5D spinoff, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, is now available on iOS and Android, and you can try it for free! We're currently working on a comprehensive review, but in the meantime, let's delve into what this mobile version brings to the table.

As expected, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown transports you back into a fantastical realm steeped in Middle Eastern myth and legend. You'll step into the shoes of the time-bending hero, Sargon, tasked with rescuing Prince Ghassan from the once-divine, now-evil-infested Mount Qaf.

Echoing the original series, this game centers on side-scrolling platforming, challenging you to master intricate levels with a blend of cunning and combat prowess. Expect to string together combo attacks as you navigate through increasingly complex environments.

Made for mobile: If you're already familiar with the latest release, you know the basics. However, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown has been specifically revamped for mobile devices. The game boasts a user-friendly interface optimized for touch controls, alongside support for external controllers. Additionally, it offers optional quality-of-life features like automatic modes to assist players, though some might argue this dilutes the intended challenge. We'll be exploring whether these changes enhance or hinder the mobile experience in our upcoming review.
