Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a triumphant return to form for this legendary franchise. While the transition to a 2.5D Metroidvania might surprise some, it feels like the most natural evolution the series has ever had. The combat is lightning-fast and incredibly fluid, allowing you to string together sword strikes and time-based abilities in a way that makes you feel like a true warrior of legend. The parry mechanic is especially satisfying, with cinematic flourishes that reward perfect timing.
The world of Mount Qaf is vast and beautifully realized, blending Persian mythology with a striking, stylized art direction. The platforming puzzles are where the 'Prince of Persia' DNA really shines—you’ll need to use your 'Athra' powers to create clones of yourself, freeze time, and navigate through intricate trap rooms. It’s a challenging game that respects the player's intelligence and provides a sense of discovery that few mobile titles can match. It’s an absolute masterpiece of the genre.
Fluid 2.5D combat and platforming
Vast semi-open world (Metroidvania style)
Epic boss fights inspired by mythology
Unique time-manipulation mechanics
The 'Shadow' power allows you to leave a clone of yourself and teleport back to it instantly. Use this to bypass moving blades: leave a shadow before the blades, walk into the safe zone, and teleport back if you're about to be hit.
Build your Athra meter by dealing damage and parrying. Once full, unleash devastating 'Surges' that can clear entire rooms of enemies or deal massive damage to bosses during their vulnerable phases.
Yes, for the best experience, we recommend using an MFi, PlayStation, or Xbox controller.
This game has exactly what I loved about the 2000’s reboot trilogy and expands on it in really creative ways. The last console I owned was a PS2 in 2010ish and my favorite game to play was Warrior Within. When I saw this had come out on mobile I decided to give it a try before buying a switch or PS5. I cannot believe how good it is. The soundtrack, the puzzles, the story. It is so rich. You can customize difficulty as you progress. I used the recommended difficulty and found it appropriately challenging without wearing me down. I reached 30% before ordering my first Bluetooth controller and I’m hooked. The world is massive. I’m listening to the soundtrack every day in my car. I cannot believe how familiar the game feels to the 2000’s trilogy, considering it’s 2D metroidvania. I have to get a console now and play every single PoP game. This has really got me back into it completely. I’m at 40% and have made a conscious decision to not watch walkthroughs. It’s more enjoyable when I solve a puzzle or complete a task. There are a few little bugs with the mobile version but it is light years better than most mobile games I’ve played. Specifically, I noticed that after I connected a Bluetooth controller, my memory shards stopped displaying. They are blank now even if I disconnect the controller or delete them and remake them. Also when I go back to just using my touch screen, buttons are missing and will not return. So I have no choice but to complete the game with a controller, which is not a problem because it’s way better with one. Those are the only issues I’ve noticed. Really incredible game. This was totally worth $10. Buy it.
I’m someone who’s looking for a chill game. The type of game where I can kick my feet back and relax and enjoy the moment. Prince of Persia was that on my console, and now it’s on my phone. This is my first introduction to a side swipe metroidvania. The game knows what it is, and doesn’t try to overwhelm me with too much detail, graphics or npc’s. It’s perfect. And it doesn’t burn my phone which is a plus too. But gaming aside, I love the cultural detail they put into this! As an Iranian, this is the ONLY game in western history that goes so deep into Persian mythology. I knew some things, but I’m still surprised to even more detail. Details that even I didn’t know. And having the option to have Persian subs and dubs is the cherry on top. Persian mythology goes as deep as Greek or Chinese mythologies. And it’s about time we gave it the love and attention it so rightfully deserves. Thank you Ubisoft!! 🙏
I love the game and can play from my iPhone 13 fine (some cut scenes are laggy though) but if I try to play it on my iPad (9th gen) I press claim to download the full version and it crashes. Sometimes it will start to download but still crash about a quarter of the way into the download. I’ve hard rebooted my iPad and the same happens. I reinstalled the app and the same thing happens. I did notice that if I use my controller that when the claim full version pop up appears I still can select different options from the menu but none will open. There are words the cover each other on the claim full version pop up for a little bit too. I’m thinking that 2 things are wanting to show at the same time and it’s causing the crash. Please investigate this devs so I’m able to play, thank you. 😁 Update: after recent update the app still has the same issue. I followed the same troubleshooting I did before. The iPad bug still exists. Please investigate further on the iPad side, thank you.
The demo allowed me to install this game on iPhone 14 Pro Max, and it runs flawlessly yet the full game says it’s for iPhone 15 or 16 only. If anyone wants it on iPhone 14 Pro Max then it allows the demo to install, and play and then gives the option to buy full game from inside the demo at the finish. I didn’t buy full game but it does seem as that’s the glitch to get full game installed with iPhone 14 models, and since the demo runs flawlessly it proves all these modern games should not be locked behind iPhone 15 or newer because the 14 is more than powerful enough, and this demo running flawlessly proves the devs are intentionally locking out older iPhones which are more than capable of playing.
Initially, I didn't have high expectations for this game, but then I got hooked! I played for 25 hours in a week. The game runs stably, my phone doesn't overheat, and the various optimizations for touchscreens, along with the excellent boss designs and storyline, all demonstrate the developers' dedication. Plus, I don't need to sit in front of a computer; I can play it lying down whenever I want. I'm grateful to the development team for fulfilling my wish. I look forward to more excellent games coming to iOS. By the way, many Chinese players are also playing this game. Keep it up!
I originally wanted to purchase this game on PC but was waiting for a sale when I saw that it was on iOS for $10, I couldn’t help but buy it and I’m glad that I did. I have a Backbone control controller and it worked flawlessly. The game is so fun. It’s challenging. The puzzles are great and the storyline is good too. The only issue I ran into is during cut scenes. The audio sounds a little funky, and the visual quality seems downgraded for iOS versus PC. Other than that it’s solid. I would definitely recommend. I easily put in well over 30 hours into the game.
I have never played something so good before in a mobile. This is innovative in so many ways. I’m a person that have responsibilities so I don’t have much time to play in an Xbox, PlayStation or PC but this game comes with me everywhere so I have time to play. The graphics, action, puzzles, story line is amazing for a mobile game! Thank you for introduccing something so good to the mobile gaming community and I just hope your team can keep surprising us with more games for mobile it shows love for a long lost community.❤️🙏🏼
I have loved the game. Pretty amazing for a mobile. The biggest problem that I have is that I switch between a controller and the regular interface depending on the situation of life I am in. For some reason there is a glitch which disables functions if the mobile UI if you start using a controller. Right now the game for me is pretty much u playable for me because I am missing elements of the UI. Searched on Reddit for a solution but apparently it a glitch that has been in the game for quite some time. That is the only thing holding me back from rating it the full 5 stars. They fix that I will change my review.
