Last year, the new work of the "Prince of Persia" series, "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown", reappeared in everyone's sight of this once dazzling IP, and the game's excellent operation feel, ingenious map design and mature metroidvania-like gameplay have allowed players to see the charm of the "Prince of Persia" IP. However, due to the influence of pricing and other factors, it has become a popular work.
However, Ubisoft is not discouraged, and the announcement of a new installment in the series, Prince of Persia: Rogue, in the early hours of this morning, marks the hope that Ubisoft still has for the IP. Guo Niang was also fortunate to receive an invitation from Ubisoft to participate in this trial event. If everyone in front of the screen is interested in this "Prince of Persia" IP meat pigeon, you may wish to browse this article.
>>> is produced by Dead Cells Studios
Prince of Persia: Rogue is licensed by Ubisoft and produced by Dead Cells development studio Evil Empir. The two companies have joined forces to ensure the inheritance of the classic elements of "Prince of Persia", and also provide players with a good meat pigeon game experience.
Prince of Persia: Rogue not only made a breakthrough in the genre, but also changed the realistic style of the previous trilogy and the American animation style of The Lost Crown to a clear-line style work similar to The Adventures of Tintin. The picture is bright and bright, but not boring, and the details of daylight and water flow are also quite praised.
Of course, the biggest change is our protagonist, this time the wheat-skinned Dastan and the black-skinned Sargon are gone, replaced by a righteous man with purple skin like Frieza who makes his own efforts to resist the tyranny of the enemy.
>>> protagonist is still climbing rocks and walking on walls, and can do anything
Although the protagonist's appearance has changed greatly, his ability to fly away from the sky is still as strong as ever. In addition to the usual tossing and turning on stairs and bars, and graceful jumps between platforms, Prince of Persia: Rogue also adds mechanics that allow you to linger and walk on walls for a short time. Players can use parkour on the walls to dodge the dual attacks of enemies and traps, or use the time spent on the walls to plan the right route in their minds to deal with the impending danger. At the same time, the game also allows players to slowly try and get used to this mechanism by adding Y-axis interactive scenes in the game, so as to play a dazzling operation in critical moments.
While the starting weapon is still the ancestral twin blades of Prince of Persia, Evil Empire also offers a variety of weapons to choose from, and in addition to the difference in attack speed and damage, the different types of weapons can perform special attacks.
The Royal Sabre's special attack leaves a mark on the enemy while performing a quick attack animation, the dual dagger is a rapid movement that can stun enemies below 50% HP while applying damage and a mark, the long-handled axe stuns enemies in the area during the final hit of the combo, and the special attack performs a "phase dash" to deal massive damage while applying a mark.
The ranged attacks are the same as in The Lost Crown, with the same level of bows and arrows and ringblades capable of reciprocating attacks. However, a roguelike game shouldn't have complicated puzzles, so it remains to be seen if Prince of Persia: Rogue's Ring Blade will do as much else as The Lost Crown. And due to the length of the trial, it is still unknown whether the game will add more weapons to the official version.
>>>地图探索充满“惊喜”
Due to the change in the depth of the levels, Prince of Persia: Rogue can provide players with more explorable scenarios, so treasure chests hidden in the depths of the map, wells that can restore health and blood vial use, vendors who sell weapons, blacksmiths that can increase the level of weapons in players' hands, and altars that sacrifice lives in exchange for items will all be interspersed with the player's adventure.
In addition to treasure chests and NPCs hidden in the map, the game also offers enhanced runes for players to freely combine. Most of the runes I experienced in the trial were rich in mechanical content, such as runes that enhanced the effect of hitting enemies and hitting walls, and runes that increased combo damage, which will bring players a different game experience through random combinations.
However, the exploration process is not always smooth, and deadly traps and brutal enemies along the way will always come quietly when the player relaxes. However, clever players can also use the terrain and traps to trick the enemy around. Thanks to the gameplay, players can kick enemies down stairs or stun them by colliding with other enemies to create output opportunities, but some enemies with armor are in a state of dominance.

Although the length of the trial process was a bit unsatisfying, the unique game design and solid action feel of the Evil Empir team were felt during the limited experience. Prince of Persia: Rogue will be coming to Steam at launch, so stay tuned if you're a fan of side-scrolling action and the roguelike genre.
