Dark Light

The Rogue Prince of Persia is an action platform game enriched with clearly outlined roguelike elements. This is one of the spin-offs of the Prince of Persia series. The game was created by Evil Empire studio, a development team operating under the wings of Motion Twin, which took over the Dead Cells project in 2019 and provided a number of updates and DLC, including Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania.

Plot

The main character of The Rogue Prince of Persia is the titular prince, the son of King Peroz. After Ctesiphon, the capital of his kingdom, fell victim to an invasion by the Huns wielding shamanic magic, the protagonist must embark on a long and dangerous journey to confront the invaders. The prince will eventually transform from a reckless warrior into a fearless hero.

Gameplay

In The Rogue Prince of Persia we watch the action from the side. While traversing various locations, the prince jumps on platforms and avoids traps and terrain obstacles, as well as swings on bars, runs on walls and performs somersaults and other acrobatic movements.

In addition, the protagonist must face opponents such as creatures corrupted by magic and mythical beasts. The hero fights them, making use of melee and ranged weapons, constantly moving and avoiding enemy attacks. As we progress, we collect better equipment, as well as obtain decorations and various improvements, thanks to which we can gradually face greater challenges.

Both during exploration and during duels, it is necessary to use the protagonist's magical bola, which allows him to manipulate time and thus correct mistakes made or even avoid death. Since the individual levels are procedurally generated, each subsequent attempt to defeat the Huns looks different than the previous ones. Between the escapades we end up in an oasis that serves as our base of operations.

Technical aspects

The Rogue Prince of Persia has two-dimensional graphics. The game is played to the accompaniment of music, for the recording of which traditional Iranian instruments were used.
