Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown reintroduces the iconic franchise with a vibrant 2.5D Metroidvania style, moving away from the 3D cinematic approach of earlier titles. This installment blends swift combat with deep exploration and clever puzzles. Now available on mobile, it delivers the classic PoP experience directly to your device. This guide is crafted for newcomers, diving into the game’s core mechanics and features. Let’s dive in!

A Fresh Hero in a Thrilling Quest

In The Lost Crown, you play as Sargon, a skilled warrior from the elite Immortals. The adventure kicks off with the kidnapping of the Persian Prince, thrusting Sargon into a dangerous mission within Mount Qaf—a mystical, crumbling city filled with time anomalies and hidden truths. As Sargon, you’ll decode the secrets of time, battle foes twisted by ancient powers, and grow stronger with every obstacle you conquer.

As the story unfolds, you’ll unlock new movement skills like double jumps, time-based dashes, and teleportation portals, opening up previously inaccessible areas. These backtracking elements are key to the Metroidvania style. Make sure to revisit earlier zones to find collectibles, health upgrades, and new gear.

Master Unique Time Powers

The Lost Crown’s standout feature is its Time Powers, a nod to the series’ classic mechanics. Early in the game, you’ll acquire abilities like the Shadow of Simurgh, which lets Sargon mark a time point and instantly return to it, and Rush of the Simurgh, a time-based dash for crossing gaps or passing through barriers. These powers are vital for both combat and exploration, helping you dodge hazards, outsmart enemies, and crack complex puzzles.
