If someone had told me I'd be getting two Prince of Persia games in 2024, I wouldn't have believed them. Fortunately, as indie games become more and more popular, genres like roguelikes have gained a large following. So it's not too crazy to find out that of all the series, Prince of Persia is the one that attempted this.
The Rogue Prince of Persia Early Access Review
Evil Empire, well known for their work in the Dead Cells DLCs, decided to team up with Ubisoft and bring our prince to the world of indie games. Thanks to a copy from Ubisoft, I was able to run through different levels as the Prince. So, did the game parkour its way to the finish line? Let's take a look.
The Rogue Prince of Persia puts us in the shoes of the titular prince during a fictional Hun invasion at Ctesiphon in 395 AD. Our prince becomes embroiled in the fight to stop the Huns from destroying Persia. The game has a storyline that sets it apart from the older games. In his possession is a mysterious Bola that can rewind time to three days.
The game very much follows the concept of die again, try again. For each attempt the prince fails to stop the Huns, he can rewind time and undo his mistakes. And of course he gets to keep his skills to ensure he wins.
