The Rogue Prince of Persia leaps onto Steam today, May 27th in Early Access. It's an action roguelike made by those who worked on Dead Cells, and as such there are some similarities. While movement and music are a joy to experience no matter how much I play and listen, I think the game's lack of meaningful meta-progression to chew on will leave many roguelike players walking away and returning to the likes of Hades, and more traditional Prince of Persia fans will probably end up preferring the recent Lost Crown with its more persistent play-structure and occasional game updates. Even so, The Rogue Prince of Persia game has great potential and I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves, and how the devs act on these early rounds of feedback, in the future.
