Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands leaps onto mobile
The original free-runner returns
Gameloft has released the latest addition to its Prince of Persia mobile franchise.
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands ties-in with the imminent console release of the same name - and the first movie version - and sees the Prince (that's you) going up against the evil Ifrit, who’s out to topple your brother’s kingdom.
“Grab your sword and strike down your enemies in nine locations including the palace, catacombs and desert,” says Gameloft.
“Restore life to the desert, undo the destruction and return Malik’s kingdom to glory.”
It looks as if the game follows a similar 2D action platformer course to previous mobile PoPs – the last of which was 2008’s accomplished Prince of Persia Zero.
Hopefully, though, the Prince has learned a few new tricks in the past 18 months.
Gameloft is promising “new fighting skills and spectacular abilities to overcome foes and unravel secrets,” perhaps hinting at a little more in the way of fisticuffs to complement the successful free-running formula.
Expect our review soon.
