Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown PS4 – Ubisoft Metroidvania Action Platformer, Time Powers

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown PS4 is Ubisoft Montpellier’s return to 2D Prince of Persia — a hand-crafted metroidvania where you play as Sargon, a young member of the Immortals sent into the cursed city of Mount Qaf to rescue the kidnapped Prince Ghassan.

Combat Built on Timing

Sargon fights with twin blades, a bow and a growing set of Athra Surge special attacks charged by landing clean hits. The system rewards reading enemy tells rather than mashing: most attacks can be parried, and gold-flashing strikes can be countered with a dedicated parry that opens brutal follow-ups. Boss fights are the highlight — each one is a multi-phase puzzle with its own rhythm, and the game expects you to learn patterns rather than out-level them. Amulets slotted into a limited-capacity grid let you tune your build toward parrying, ranged damage, healing or raw aggression.

Time Powers and Traversal

The Lost Crown gradually hands you a toolkit of Time Powers that double as both combat and movement abilities. The Shadow of the Simurgh lets you drop a marker and teleport back to it, Rush of the Simurgh gives a mid-air dash that cancels momentum, and later powers let you record and replay a version of yourself or freeze objects in place. Because every power works in the air, late-game traversal becomes a genuine platforming performance — chaining a wall jump into a dash into a teleport across a spike corridor feels closer to a rhythm game than a standard platformer.

Mount Qaf and the Memory Shard Map

Mount Qaf is a single interconnected world split into biomes: a sunlit citadel, a drowned harbour, a hyper-vertical tower and a corrupted forest among others. The standout quality-of-life feature is the Memory Shard system — press a button at any obstacle you cannot yet pass and the game screenshots it and pins the image directly to your map. It removes the classic metroidvania problem of forgetting where that one locked door was twelve hours ago, and it is the single most-copied idea from this game.

Difficulty and Accessibility

Four preset difficulties are available, plus a Guided or Exploration mode toggle that controls whether objectives are marked on your map. Beyond that there is a deep custom difficulty menu where you can independently tune parry windows, enemy damage, enemy health and whether platforming hazards are instantly lethal. It means the game scales from a relaxed story-first playthrough to a punishing challenge run without ever locking content behind a setting.

Who Should Buy It

Buy this if you enjoyed Hollow Knight, Ori or Metroid Dread and want something with sharper, more deliberate combat. It is also an easy recommendation for lapsed Prince of Persia fans — the wall runs, the Persian mythology and the time-bending are all present, just rebuilt in 2D. Players who dislike backtracking should note that this is a full metroidvania, though the Memory Shard map does more than most to soften that.
