Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has arrived on smartphones — the game is available for free, but with restrictions

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been released on Android and iOS mobile platforms — one of the most highly rated games in the franchise in recent years. Now you can enjoy the adventure in the Metroidvania genre directly from your smartphone, but you won’t be able to play the game completely for free: users are offered a demo version, and to open the entire campaign you will need to purchase the full version. In addition, in Russia, the game is not available for download directly from official stores.

The mobile adaptation received a redesigned user interface, control with touch buttons, the ability to customize the control scheme, as well as support for external controllers. The developers also added a number of options to make the game easier — from navigation assistance to simplified combat.

The original The Lost Crown was released on January 18 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. The game was warmly received by both critics (87 points on OpenCritic) and gamers — with 85% positive reviews. After the release, the developers regularly updated the project: free improvements and content were added to the game, as well as a paid story DLC called Mask of Darkness.

The mobile version retains all the main features of the original and, despite the free-to-play model, offers full console quality on the screen of a mobile device.
