The Rogue Prince of Persia is a promising blend of Evil Empire's roots with the legendary gaming franchise.
Ubisoft has been showing a lot of love to the Prince of Persia franchise this year. Not only did fans already receive a fantastic 2D Metroidvania title in, but we now have a roguelite entering Early Access that is made by Dead Cells developer Evil Empire . Called The Rogue Prince of Persia, it’s a promising blend of Evil Empire’s roots with the legendary gaming franchise that proves a refreshing spin on a series that had felt stale before this year’s incredible resurgence.
The first thing fans will notice is the unique art style. It’s quite the departure for Prince of Persia, as it provides a very colorful and artistic flair rather than more realistic depictions. This heavily stylized look is most reminiscent of 2008’s excellent reboot, which had a watercolor-esque vibe to its 3D world. Here, the creatures and world really shine as the colors really pop off the screen.
As you continue on during a run, you’ll come across temporary buffs that can be purchased and more powerful weapons. This is where the roguelite nature really shines, as the gameplay feels quite satisfying, and the pressure really starts mounting once you’ve got a good collection of items, as you don’t want to lose them without making some progress.
