Awaken the merciless Warrior Within! Back from the brink of death the
Prince has to face his most fearsome opponent yet. The mythical beast
Dahaka won’t rest until our hero is dead. In his struggle for survival the
Prince ventures onto the mysterious and foreboding Cursed Island, where he
faces a horde of dark, demonic creatures. Fortunately, our hero isn’t the
boyscout he used to be. With his newly found inner badassdom and a new
arsenal of deadly weapons and fighting techniques, he’s ready for whatever
danger he might encounter. Or is he?
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within builds a new layer of depth and
complexity on the dynamic combat system of it’s predecessor, The Sands of
Time. Freeform fighting mechanics combined with a wide range of swords,
axes, maces and even improvised weapons will allow you to slay your foes
with style!
The Prince is back in his darker, brutish incarnation.
Special moves and ranged attacks in a new, dynamic combat system.
Environments to bedazzle your eyes and puzzles to strain your mind.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Best game I ever played, and best art direction Ubisoft ever managed to achieve. One day I hope we get to play the real Kindred Blades that never released and see the final chapter the way the original director envisioned it.
The most fluid combat in its time, hundreds of combos to do, and the platforming is top notch.
I have seen more Dahaka nightmares than I want to count and I can't recomment this enough.
Best one in the entire series. Brings back so many wonderful memories. This game is perfection. The story, the mood, the atmosphere and the music. Strongly recommend this game for anyone who loves a good action game
I love this game. Had it when it was first released so I'm overjoyed that I can play it again now on GOG. Only problem is mapping it to the gamepad. By default the controls are all over the place. After a bit of work you can get it into a suitable map to play. The only sticking point is that the analogue sticks have an issue where Prince will only run when going forwards, backwards or side to side and walk while going diagonally. Due to the camera angle it can make doing some of the platforming really difficult (due to running at walls being needed to do wall runs or wall run-ups) and requires some camera manipulation to do the required move. Nothing has proven impossible during 6 hrs gameplay so confident it won't prove gamebreaking but just be prepared if you are using a gamepad.
All the classic Prince Of Persia games are great, but Warrior Within is on another level in terms of the gameplay. This is one of those rare games that acts as if you have just played the previous game, and starts off challenging from the beginning.
The combat and platforming is as tough as anything in Sands of Time, but that's actually what make s it good. Warrior Within has isolation, atmosphere and a fallen world aesthetic.
You'll explore the island of time and change the environment so you can traverse it's different time periods. It feels kind of Castlevania-esque. The only negative point is you might get lost and need to think about where you need to go but for the most part you'll be on a clear path.
Most of the negativity focused on the "edge" of the characterisation of the Prince, is darker and more gritty than the affable prince from Sands of Time, but he is facing his own imminent death as part for the story, and he has to go on a journey to try and change his fate.
In all seriousness, what was considered edgy back in the day would be a selling point for the game now; after Metal Gear Rising and DMCV, I think a bit of emo is actually an asset to the game.
If you spend the time to beat it, it may be one of your favourite games. For all the comments about the change in style, it has the platforming completely intact and adds some really nice fluid combat; the best in these games.
I think the reason it was considered not as good as Sands of Time actually just comes down to the game being harder. But in 2024, with the likes of Elden Ring, the challenge of the game isn't that steep, now, but when it came out this destroyed players.
Now it's just a beautifully realised, yet dark, adventure platformer, which is like nothing else you can play on the market. Give it a go and you will love it.
I would also like all Prince of Persia games to be in Spanish.
At the moment I'm going to buy Prince of Persia 2008 which is in English.
I know they are on Steam in English, but I prefer the pro-consumer policies of GOG and I will wait with the hope that someday you will have them.
Thank you very much for the effort you do for the preservation of the video game.
Here if it is a pleasure to buy games in digital.
Greetings!

También me gustaría que estuvieran todos los Prince of Persia en Español.
De momento voy a comprar el Prince of Persia de 2008 que si está en Español.
Se que están en Steam en Español, pero prefiero las políticas proconsumidor de GOG y voy a esperar con la esperanza que algún día los tengais.
Muchas gracias por el esfuerzo que haceis por la preservación del videojuego.
Aquí si da gusto comprar juegos en digital.
Saludos!
