    There is a timeline where the developers behind Dead Cells didn’t have the opportunity to use their ample talents to create a thoroughly excellent Prince of Persia. Thankfully, this is not that timeline, because in this timeline The Rogue Prince of Persia exists and isn’t just a great spiritual follow-up to Dead Cells, but also one of the best Prince of Persia games to ever be released. Period.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia is one of the bests roguelikes out there. Evil Empire lived to the expectations after the huge success of something like Dead Cells.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia delivers a truly captivating roguelike experience that integrates the beloved Ubisoft saga's parkour with a combat system that, while simple, offers significant variety, and pairs it with a highly distinctive visual design to provide an engaging experience that compels players to attempt saving Persia repeatedly.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia blends refined parkour mechanics with roguelite progression in a compact yet stylish experience from Evil Empire and Ubisoft. Though light on boss variety and biome diversity, its movement-first design and satisfying combat make it a standout in the genre.

    A fresh take on a classic franchise, The Rogue Prince of Persia offers a solid and smooth roguelite experience. It won't be universally popular among players, but it has the potential to surprise those open to change.

    The movement is fluid, the combat exhilarating, and it’s great to see the Prince back in action. Meta progression works well, giving a steady sense of unlocking new abilities and rewarding starting bonuses. However, some difficulty spikes can feel downright punishing, breaking the flow of an otherwise thrilling experience.

    A well made and fun 2D Metroidvania game that despite having a sprinkling of new ideas, looks, plays, and behaves like a clone of Dead Cells.
