The story follows Sargon, a young warrior of the Immortals, an elite Persian guard. When Prince Ghassan is kidnapped and taken to Mount Qaf, a mythical place where time itself is unstable, Sargon sets out to rescue him. The mountain is cursed with temporal anomalies, corrupted soldiers, and legendary beasts, and Sargon must uncover the truth behind the prince's disappearance while navigating a shifting world that bends past, present, and future together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe game is played from a side-scrolling perspective, combining exploration with fast-paced combat. Players control Sargon as he leaps across platforms, wall-runs, vaults over obstacles, and uses acrobatic maneuvers to traverse large interconnected areas. Movement is tightly tied to puzzle-solving, as many areas can only be accessed with precise use of wall jumps, air dashes, or newly acquired powers that manipulate time and space. Progression involves finding new routes through the mountain and unlocking shortcuts to previously visited locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eCombat is centered on Sargon's dual blades, which can be used for rapid melee strikes, launchers, and aerial combos. Ranged attacks, parries, and evasive dodges add tactical layers to encounters. Defeated enemies drop Spirit, a resource used to unleash Athra powers, special abilities tied to Sargon's connection with mythological forces. Boss battles require careful use of movement and timing, as enemies often fill the screen with powerful area attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eCharacter progression is handled through amulets, which grant new abilities or modify existing ones, such as improving parries, boosting health, or adding elemental effects. The player can also enhance Sargon's weapons and powers by gathering materials hidden in treasure chests or dropped by enemies. Exploration rewards optional upgrades, hidden side quests, and collectibles tied to the lore of Mount Qaf. Save points, known as Wak-Wak trees, serve as checkpoints where Sargon can restore health and adjust his equipment. While the narrative remains linear, the structure encourages backtracking and exploration in a manner similar to a Metroidvania game, with new abilities granting access to previously unreachable paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Es565STDDU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/18211633-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-screenshot-time-combat-upper-cit.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/18211637-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-screenshot-combat-autumnal-fores.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/18211641-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-screenshot-combat-manticore-lowe.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/18211645-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-screenshot-swing-bar-scene-lower.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e× Some Disclaimers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Video games are pre-owned unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Disc-based video games come with their case and cover art unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e         × PS1 Games May Not Have Their Front Cover Art\/Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Cartridge-based video games come with just the cartridge unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × CD \u0026amp; DVD based discs are resurfaced before we put them out for sale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Pre-Owned games may have stickers or marks on them or their cases, either price tags from us or other stickers\/markings from other stores or owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games A Plunder","offers":[{"title":"With Case and Cover Art","offer_id":45233465032865,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Without Case and Cover Art","offer_id":45233465065633,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/4841\/1553\/files\/19465531-prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-nintendo-switch-front-cover.jpg?v=1761142860","url":"https:\/\/gamesaplunder.com\/products\/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-switch","provider":"Games A Plunder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
