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?

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.
Not as good as we all remember.
Sure, some things are still fantastic looking at it was really forward with the controls and gameplay at the time!
However attempting to play this with a controller is such an exercise in frustration that it will hurt the over all experience.
If you aren't put off by the edgelord tone there is a lot to love here. The freeform fighting definitely opens up combat from the chess based version that we had some version of in every earlier entry of the franchise. This uses its time travel conceit rather well. I will say that this is the first of these where you have to seriously pay attention to what direction you're going. It's not open world but you can easily end up spending a while going in the exact wrong way it's not going to completely strain your thinking past the breaking point just note that you can't really play it on complete autopilot. The themes of Free Will versus determinism are surprisingly well-handled for something clearly geared towards teenagers. Like the ones that came before it in this series, this has at least puzzle that will seriously challenge you and other than that it tends towards one's that are not that difficult. In some ways fighting is easier especially if you choose to simply spam the most powerful moves and let's be honest a lot of us make that choice. I appreciate that some enemies require very special tactics. You go up against these large dog creatures that explode in a fireball the moment they are defeated or shortly after. Which of course means you want to make sure you aren't completely surrounded by enemies when you take one out. Or you'll want to throw your secondary weapon at it to take it out. And it's easy to tell when it's about to die. Yeah you can now pick up a sword, club or the like for your left hand and it can be thrown at any point. Carrying it opens up new fighting moves. This also has a good variety. For certain situations you can grab onto an enemy and do a handful of distinctly different things. There is one boss that makes more than one appearance and if you find yourself not wanting to engage with it every time note that there's no penalty to simply running past it at least some of the times that it shows up.
