Prince of Persia revolves around gameplay mechanics that producer Ben Mattes identifies as "pillars" of the Prince of Persia series; an acrobatic hero exploring a Persian environment with a balanced mixture of acrobatics, combat, and puzzle-solving. The premise of Prince of Persia is that the player travels around the game world to heal specially designated spots of land. The game only features a single player mode, and cannot be played by multiple people at once. The player assumes the role of the Prince character, and is accompanied by the AI-controlled companion named Elika. The player can use the Prince character's acrobatic prowess, sword, and gauntlet, as well as magic from Elika to perform combat and acrobatic feats variously throughout the game.

Prince of Persia features open-world exploration that allows the player to travel to any spot in the game world at any given point, and allows the player to witness the plot in any way they want. Depending on how the player progresses, previously visited areas will become more challenging to traverse when the play re-visits them. However, when the player heals a spot of land, it becomes void of traps. The traps are manifested in various forms of the antagonist Ahriman's Corruption; black-colored blobs that coat the land and swallow the player if touched. The player can use acrobatics maneuvers to avoid these traps.

The player has many acrobatics maneuvers at their disposal. Acrobatics are also used in combat to vault over enemies, or hit them into the air. Sometimes when performing these acrobatics, the player is aided by Elika. There are magical plates that allow the player to perform even more complicated acrobatic feats via Elika. If the player fails to signal Elika's magic, they fall off of the plate, sometimes to their death.

The player can not conventionally "die" in Prince of Persia. Rather, when an enemy is about the strike the finishing blow, or the player falls off of a cliff, Elika saves the player. There is not a limit on the number of times Elika can save a player. Along with saving the player, Elika can perform many acrobatic feats or combat feats in tandem with the player. The downloadable content Epilogue added a new magic plate that allows Elika to recreate destroyed objects. A new combat maneuver for the player was also added.

Will the Prince of Persia return?

~ Creator is working to get the series back ~


It is very interesting to think that the first Assassin's Creed game was basically a Prince of Persia game, because it did not take long before the assassins took the prince of days. In 2013, Ubisoft was therefore fed up with the question of whether we would all see more of the prince, and then replied that the series had been paused. They nevertheless gave us a little hope by saying that more developers were still working on ideas for how to reboot more series we have not seen for a while.

Now they obviously get a little startup. When the model and television host Chrissy Teigen went to Twitter to say she missed the Prince of Persia series, wondering where it became of the black first developer studio Ubisoft Montreal that the series is still in hibernate mode. Then it did not take long before the series maker, Jordan Mechner, decided to give a slightly more interesting comment: "Chrissy, I know of a few other people who think the same. We do our best to make it happen!"

He did not want to say exactly what that means, but it may sound as if he at least has taken an effort to revive the series. Do you hope this game series will return?

Although not one the most liked among the series, but I would have at least loved to see a conclusion to this. I mean the Epilogue DLC just made more questions than the games original ending.

okay, this game is incredibly fun and I like the story, but I am very mad at Ubisoft for not allowing us (modders) to take advantage of Scimitar/Anvil software (Level Editor for AC:R, PLEASE!?!??). The combat is only fun when your fighting bosses, anywhere else it feels bland. Puzzles are fine by me but some gamers may want more challenge.

6. the story is "sands of time" all over again, but instead of the magical sand that corrupts nature now we have magical black ooze that corrupts nature (just brilliant XD)

I <3 Prince of persia original trilogy :(
this cartoon sucks, for next reasons:

1. No fear of duying (just stupid)

2. No challenge (only 1 on 1 battles with idiot opponents)

3. Prince is REALLY annoying american teenager

4. it's a CARTOON! O.o Once beautifoul and standard graphics of the previous prince has become an overexagurated hentai with flashing rainbow of light effects... disgusting

5. It sometimes defies gravity and reality, and the original prince of persia is all about reaistic acrobatics...

Your an idiot, the art style is one of the best things about this game. It's a bit easy, but that's because it's meant to be experienced instead of played like the other Prince games. This is probably one of the most beautiful art styles I've ever seen in a video game. The combat had a great foundation, but if it had been improved about would've been better. So, yea, I actually loved this series reboot.

I agree with you.
I love the Sands of Time trilogy, but this was a difrent direction, a pleasent experience. But it does get boring as a game.
What I want to see is Ubisoft calm down with assassins creed, make them less and better, and ******* come back with prince of persia with what their learned in assassins! That would be awesome.

other stupid thing executor said was point 5. game defies reality... so? sands of time (yes, not original!) trilogy is not about realistic acrobatics xD they're beliavble, not realistic.
