Dead Cells is one of my favourite games of the last ten years. The combination of challenging, fast-paced action with rewarding progression grabbed me like few roguelikes do (nothing beats Hades, however).
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is also one of my favourite games of 2024, providing a fresh start for the iconic series and some wonderful puzzle-platforming action. So getting the chance to play a side-scrolling Prince of Persia roguelike from the developers of Dead Cells was something I couldn’t be more excited for. My 30 minutes of playtime wasn’t enough to get a full taste of the game, but it certainly has the potential to be another high point in the series.
