The Rogue Prince of Persia Reviews
The Rogue Prince of Persia is undeniably a game of solid quality, but its current content is lacking. The innovative parkour mechanics bring a lot of fresh experience to the game, but they also require higher platforming skills from the player. The combat system is simplified compared to Dead Cells, but many aspects still need to be improved in terms of practicality. The game's biggest problem at the moment is the lack of roguelike progression elements.

The Rogue Prince of Persia may never be heralded as the greatest in the series (my money would be on Sands of Time) yet what once was a twilight of dark sands, has awoken to a golden dawn filled with new beginnings and hope for the franchise. It’s without doubt a worthy title bound to please fans of the series and newcomers alike.
A relatively successful blend of Dead Cells and Prince of Persia. Its music and acrobatic gameplay in particular promise a few enjoyable hours. However, the somewhat linear structure causes it to become repetitive rather quickly, and after a while, you don’t really see a reason to go for another run. It would benefit from being supported with DLCs.

Seriously slick and responsive to play, The Rogue Prince of Persia will likely win you over instantly thanks to its stylish traversal. Add to the mix some wonderful storytelling, a world that's a joy to explore and challenging (but rewarding) combat, and you have one of the best roguelike platforming games of recent years.
The Early Access of The Rogue Prince of Persia shows a lot of things that makes us think this could be one of the finest adventures by the Prince. The movement is amazing, combat is really fun, all the options of personalization of weapons are great and fun to discover and use and the gameplay in general helps a lot to avoid any kind of boredom. We see a lot of potential.

"The Rogue Prince of Persia is a bold, charming, and thoroughly entertaining spin-off that successfully merges the series' signature fluid acrobatics with an addictive roguelike structure. While it doesn't quite hit the spectacular highs of The Lost Crown, it stands strong on its own as a fast-paced and challenging adventure that keeps the franchise's newfound momentum alive. Its immediate availability on services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, combined with a small file size, makes it an incredibly easy and enthusiastic recommendation for fans of both the Prince and the genre."

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a welcome addition to the rogue-like family, mixing amazing fluid animations and satisfying combat. It provides an enjoyable progression without the feeling of having to start over every time I would die. I am excited to continue playing this game and finding all the secrets and ability combinations that come with each run.
The Rogue Prince of Persia gives a new interpretation to the classic franchise. The prince must save his city from theirs who attack with dark magic. Thanks to a magical Bola you start again after every death, but keep knowledge and equipment. This creates a clear learning curve, although the repetition can sometimes frustrate. The gameplay does not always feel flexible and enemies are often easy to beat, so that the focus is mainly on acrobatics. Yet the Roguelike system has a motivating effect and feels the progression rewarding. Visually the game distinguishes itself with colorful environments and flowing animations. The result is a fresh, challenging and stylish addition to the series.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a new atmospheric 2D title centered around the beloved Persian prince, this time heavily inspired by Dead Cells and other roguelite games. Acrobatics and close-quarters combat are enhanced by a fantastic audiovisual presentation that successfully brings ancient Persia to life.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a bold experiment that blends precision and nostalgia into a formula that gives the old hero a fresh face. It’s not a game that will appeal to everyone, but it certainly deserves respect despite its many flaws in the current state. This is what happens when Ubisoft gives the right people creative freedom - we get the kind of projects that once made us love them.

"A bold leap for the series into the roguelite genre" The Rogue Prince of Persia boldly and innovatively blends the classic parkour gameplay with a roguelite system. Each run offers exciting gameplay thanks to its fluid movement, dynamic combat, and vibrant art style. While some repetition and limitations in the random generation system detract from the experience, the game successfully establishes a new identity for the franchise.

The Rogue Prince of Persia successfully revives the franchise with a fast-paced, colorful, and engaging roguelite. Its fragmented narrative, fluid combat, and medallion system make each playthrough captivating and rewarding. Despite some repetitive enemy designs and demanding difficulty, Evil Empire's game shines with its memorable bosses and strong identity. More than just a spin-off, it's a beautiful testament to Prince of Persia's ability to reinvent itself.

Despite the technical hiccups, The Rogue Prince of Persia on PS5 is an absolute blast. It’s the kind of game that keeps you up late telling yourself “just one more run.” Evil Empire has managed to respect the legacy of Prince of Persia while injecting it with the adrenaline of modern roguelites. The wall running, the combat, the branching progression, it all clicks together in a way that feels fresh yet faithful.
We had an enjoyable experience with The Rogue: Prince of Persia, which delivers fast and fluid parkour, captivating music, and a striking artistic direction. However, the story feels shallow and the content relatively limited, making it a better fit for fans of roguelikes and lighter experiences.

In its complete release, The Rogue Prince of Persia didn't manage to break free from the main issue it had in its early access: the little variety and repetitiveness. However, even so, this is a fluid action game, which is extremely satisfying to explore and an easy recommendation for this reason.
