The Rogue Eargasm of Persia Awesome game, nice art design in the form of hand drawn graphics. Not bad combat, great parkour and soundtrack is my respect, ASADI have done a phenomenal job. I've been listening to it for a days and I can't stop (please help me :D) What I didn't like was that there could have been more content, at this stage it's “early early” access for 5-10 hours max. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW3q_NZLvp4&t=271s It's my nominee for best soundtrack at the Steam Awards 2024 so far. The only thing that upsets me is that not many people know about this game... (Thanks Ubisoft) Looking forward to the full release and new content! 15.12.24 UPD: The game has received much more content, including additional available languages, a new locations, weapons, enemies, and much more! I can finally say it’s no longer in the "early early" access stage. Nominated for Best Soundtrack.

Dead Cells structure, Hades art vibe, PoP nostalgia, good stuff. Very acrobatic. Minus a point for Ubisoft, but I guess they own the license.

Bought this at launch, it was a little TOO early access back then - no real sense of meta progression, not enough item variety, some choppy performance...the bones were there and strong, but wasn't enough on those bones yet to really justify picking it up for the average person, so I put it down and let it cook for a few months. Roughly half a year later, you can feel the game is in a really great place now. The medallion system is easier to parse, the weapon variety is way up, performance is overall better, there's activities and alternate routes and story beats that were more fleshed out than before...the game feels like it's coming into its own now. And the movement. BROTHER, the movement is worth the price of admission alone. Flowing through saws and gears in true PoP fashion feels SPECTACULAR, this game really captures the essence of classic PoP but with modern fluidity and speed, it's great. If you loved Dead Cells, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up, and an even bigger update is coming shortly that should make this feel like a damn near complete game. I suspect this'll be out of early access sometime next year, and by the time it gets there it's gonna be an all timer. Worth picking up now, but has the ability to strive even farther.

Short on Content I have just played The Rogue Prince of Persia, and I must say, I enjoyed the experience. The controls are smooth, the combat is satisfying, and the procedural level design is good. However, while I had a lot of fun, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of content. The game felt quite short, and after just a few hours, I wanted more. The gameplay is solid, but I wish there were more biomes, challenges, more enemy variety, and bosses to keep the experience going. It feels like the game has so much potential, but it doesn't fully reach it because of the limited content. As a huge fan of Dead Cells, which I’ve played for hundreds of hours, I’m hoping that Evil Empire will expand The Rogue Prince of Persia in the future, also after full release. Dead Cells received amazing post-launch support with tons of new content from Evil Empire, and I hope The Rogue Prince of Persia will get the same treatment. The foundation is there for a good game, and with more content, it could become something truly special. That said, The Rogue Prince of Persia feels very similar to Dead Cells in many ways, but it doesn't offer anything particularly fresh besides its theme, art style, and some minor gameplay differences. The wall-running mechanic is one notable difference, adding a bit of the classic Prince of Persia flair to the game, but overall, there aren't many new features to set it apart. One of the biggest issues is the lack of variety in builds. Right now, every run feels the same because there isn’t enough diversity in the weapons and equipment. Every sword-like weapon feels too similar, and without the ability to create and experiment with different builds, the replayability takes a hit. The game could really benefit from a broader range of equipment and weapons, like in Dead Cells. Only having one weapon (you can't use the secondary all the time) isn't enough to keep the gameplay varied and engaging. On the positive side, the art style of The Rogue Prince of Persia is really good and distinct. Each biome looks and feels different from the others, which adds to the sense of exploration. The beautiful soundtrack also enhances the atmosphere, making the game more immersive and enjoyable. I also have to mention that I really like Ubisoft's approach to the Prince of Persia games with their last two titles. I hope they continue to make quality games like these rather than the soulless open-world games they've been putting out, especially in the last half-decade. Overall, The Rogue Prince of Persia is a decent game that I enjoyed playing, but it left me wanting more. I can't wait to see if the developers add more to it because it has the potential to be something really amazing with the right updates. I will give my medal after full release.

No need for Ubiconnect, bless But seriously, from what I've played, it's a great 2D Roguelite action game. It doesn't play much like Dead Cells as the combat is different and the parkour matters quite a lot (there are even little challenges where knowing the controls decently is mandatory to unlock upgrades). The art style is charming and the soundtrack is really good and sets the vibe very well. I can't wait to jump into it more as I feel like the progression is quite Dead Cells-y, where dying also unlocks new things and exploring (and choosing which biome to go through next) is rewarded with new content. With the planned Weekly (yes, weekly) updates and numerous content additions mentioned in the announcements, I can just see this being refined (which it already is as I haven't faced any bugs or weirdnesses) into another Dead Cells game: hyperfluid and drenched in content. A great entry into the PoP franchise - one we're not used to seeing.
