When you think of the PoP series you think of mythical catles scaling large walls in an arabian dream, with fighting countless grim enemies frown into the mix. However this is quite a bit different. A new prince altogether shows the land in which he will be leaping across in all its "illustrative" detail. the new game goes for a more cell shaded look however the developers say this is not so as it is made to be more 3d looking and jumps right out at you.
The game is made from the assassins creed engine which seems appropiate considering the style of play both games show. The story unravels when the prince gets lost in a sandstorm, when he comes to his senses he is by an oasis and in it is the tree of life. A tree you say whats that got to do with anything, we will tell you now. Long ago two gods fought one good one bad and the bad one was beaten and restricted to stay inside a tree. now this is where the prince comes in as he sees the tree destryed and the bad god escape. The god can't however escape the oasis walls, the corruption the bad god possesses does get ou through the cracks and will slowly slip into the rest of the world. Not unless the prince can hep it.
It is here on out that the prince takes it as his mission to rid of the corruption and all who it takes over. This corruption however is a huge obstacle and comes in many forms of traps to take the prince off his gargantuos task. This is what replaces the spikes in the floor and the spikes across the wall. it can be sprawled anyware to courrupt and end the princess life and the hope we have of stopping the god taking over. It has the ability ultimately to change the face of each area and this game being a open world environment it seems it is possble an area seemingly normal at one point is frown into the black abyss in another.
The prince also sports a great fat clawed gauntles on one of his hands which he can use for fighting, climbing or droppping down the wall with a gliding technique. A new system brought into the series involves every face button on the controller being a fighting button with combos being completely random depending on the buttons you keep smashing. Oh and the enemies look increasingly frieghtening from the othe games. Controlled by corruption it seems they are deadly and it is stated that they can be just as skillfull as the prince or if not more, we all like a challenge. The enemies being harder results in the prince only having to usually deal with one enemy at a time, and brings a more cinematic approach to the fighting to immerse you fully into the battles you can take.
So far it looks different to the other PoP games and provides a fresh new exerience for the prince to offer, we cant wait to inform you some more about this new upcoming title.
