What Genre is The Rogue Prince of Persia?

As the name hints, The Rogue Prince of Persia is a rogue-lite game, which means should you fall at the hands of your foes, you'll respawn back at the mysterious oasis that serves as your home base and have to start all over again. But you won't have lost everything; there are numerous ways each run can help you progress in your quest to understand what is happening to your beloved city and how you can stop it. Narrative discoveries will chart new areas of your Mind Map, which acts as a record of everything you've learned, while Soul Cinders that you collect and send back to the oasis will allow you to unlock new weapons and medallions, as well as permanent buffs across several different skill trees. With each new run, you have the chance to learn more, expand your arsenal, increase your skills, and progress farther than before, provided you can fight your way past your foes.

What is Combat Like in The Rogue Prince of Persia?

The Prince is a fast, acrobatic fighter who uses his natural moveset in concert with his equipped weapon and medallions to vanquish his enemies. The signature wall-running ability of the Prince of Persia franchise is at the heart of his skill set, allowing him to navigate with creativity and style to reach new areas and position himself to kick, vault over, and attack his foes. Each weapon type has its own unique pace and area of effect, not to mention a special attack. The Prince can also use tools to help him dictate the flow of combat, and equip medallions that offer helpful buffs, imbue your attacks with status effects, unlock legendary ability boosts, and much more. Experiment with different loadouts to find complementary weapon and medallion synergies, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a princely powerhouse.
