Prince of Persia: Lost Crown Now Available on iOS, Android

Prince of Persia fans, it's time to celebrate! Ubisoft has just released the highly anticipated 2.5D spinoff, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, on iOS and Android, and it's free-to-try. We're currently putting it through its paces and will have a full review soon, but let's dive into what mobile players can expect from this exciting new addition to the series.

Set in a fantastical past steeped in middle-eastern myth and legend, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown invites you to step into the shoes of Sargon, a time-bending hero tasked with rescuing Prince Ghassan from the mystical Mount Qaf. This sacred mountain, once the abode of the gods, is now overrun with evil forces, making your mission all the more perilous.

Like its predecessors, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown emphasizes side-scrolling platforming, pushing you to master a variety of combo-stringing attacks as you navigate through intricate and hazardous levels. It's a test of both your strategic thinking and physical prowess.

Made for Mobile
While the core gameplay remains familiar, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown has been specifically optimized for mobile devices. It boasts a revamped interface tailored for touch controls, ensuring smooth gameplay. Additionally, it supports controllers for those who prefer a more traditional gaming experience. The game also introduces several quality-of-life features, including automatic modes designed to assist players who might find the challenge too steep without them.

Some purists might argue that these features alter the intended difficulty of the game. However, I believe they're essential for enhancing accessibility, particularly for players not using controllers. Stay tuned for our in-depth review to find out if Prince of Persia: Lost Crown truly excels on mobile platforms.
