“+ I like the movement, wall climbing, wall running and vanyu speed boosts all feel really good. + Combat is fluid, vaulting over enemies is nice, lots of different types ~ Bosses are pretty simple ~ 100% can be a bit…”
“This game makes you say "Okay, just one more run."... and then suddenly it's half past three in the morning and you've done seven more runs. Not only the best Prince of Persia game by far, but one of the very best games…”
“I am not a huge Prince of Persia fan, but this game has made me one. There are a few aspects that really draw you in. Music, art style, gameplay and medallion synergies. The music is flawless, seriously it's so catchy…”

“Short & sweet. I got what I wanted out of the game after hitting credits, but you could still unlock a ton of costumes and weapons if you decide to play more. Movement and combat fundamentals are BIS in the genre.”
“EN & DE I played the EA and have now returned. The mix of parkour (Prince of Persia style) and combat is just right for combining the IP with the genre. Personally, I think the game has a good scope and length. It's not…”

“When you lose your life, you get back to the beginning, so you must start over again, which makes that game hard and repetitive.”

“Dead Cells with less gameplay depth but with more actual storytelling. The parkour system is fun. It's a good game, if it wasn't published by ubisoft I bet more people would give it a chance. I also didn't pay full price for it so there's that.”

Persia shall repel the barbarians who dare to challenge its sovereignty. Let the invaders learn: Persia remains a fortress against foreign tyranny. Great game. Review 03/2026”
— a player, Steam review · 50 hrs played“Fantastic game, great art style, fun combat options and it’s still getting updates after launch… which are free! Evil Empire are quickly becoming one of my favourite developers, first on their dlc work for dead cells and now with this release.”
