INTRODUCTION
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – a riveting installment in the famous tale of the courageous Persian Prince. This game revisits the components that made the trilogy – Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones, which were the crowd’s favorites during 2003-2005, a huge hit. Notably, The Forgotten Sands fills the seven-year void in our hero’s journey, bridging the events between Sands of Time and Warrior Within, shedding light on the Prince’s transformation.
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ADVENTURE
After the riveting climax of Sands of Time, our hero finds himself traversing the diverse lands of Azad. He decides to visit his brother’s dominion during his travels, only to be met with chaos as a colossal army lays siege to the palace. In true heroic fashion, the Prince swiftly wields the Sands of Time again, hoping to save his brother’s kingdom from destruction. Consequently, this choice sets the wheels in motion for another exhilarating journey.
GAMEPLAY: COMBAT AND ACROBATICS
A feature that fans would find familiar, the gameplay of The Forgotten Sands echoes Sands of Time and Warrior Within. It boasts two significant elements that ensure an adrenaline rush for players – electrifying combat sequences and awe-inspiring acrobatics, executed with finesse by our brave Prince. Designed by the maestros at Ubisoft, the diverse levels in the game promise a test of your gaming prowess.
THE POWER OF THE SANDS OF TIME
Our fearless Prince harnesses the Sands of Time again, blessing him with a semblance of immortality by being able to rewind time, shielding his life from fatal harm. The Forgotten Sands takes this concept further. In addition to being a time-manipulating demigod, the Prince now has the power to bend the forces of nature to his will, creating an even more immersive gaming experience. Imagine this – using the elements themselves during combat or solving intricate environmental puzzles.
ANVIL GAME ENGINE: A ROBUST FOUNDATION
The game’s stunning visuals and seamless gameplay are powered by the Anvil game engine, a veteran of the industry that previously impressed us in two of the Assassin’s Creed series games, Prince of Persia from 2008 and Shaun White Snowboarding. Leveraging this robust technology, The Forgotten Sands promises a gaming experience that’s rich in detail and immersive in its storytelling.
THE RETURN OF YURI LOWENTHAL
Finally, let’s not forget about the man who breathes life into our beloved Prince – Yuri Lowenthal, the voice actor reprising his role from the first two games in the trilogy. Hearing his familiar voice again adds authenticity and a nostalgic connection to the game.
In conclusion, whether you are a veteran Prince of Persia player or a newcomer, The Forgotten Sands delivers an enthralling narrative and engaging gameplay mechanics. This game blends combat, acrobatics, puzzle-solving elements, and a compelling storyline that will surely captivate your gaming heart. So, ready to embark on a new adventure?
