Prince of Persia HD

About

Prince of Persia HD is a mobile-optimized revamp of the 2008 action-adventure game. Navigate desert ruins and ancient temples while leaping, climbing, and battling creatures alongside Elika. The story follows the Prince as he helps her reclaim four seeds from elemental guardians to revive a sacred tree. Combat mixes real-time swordplay with timed dodges, and exploration requires solving environmental puzzles to progress. The single-player campaign emphasizes platforming challenges and character-driven moments between the Prince and Elika. The HD version brings sharper visuals and smoother controls to legacy devices, preserving the original’s blend of narrative and action. While mobile platforms limit depth compared to console releases, fans of the 2008 title praise its faithful adaptation. With a runtime of around 8, 10 hours, it offers a self-contained journey through desert storms and mythical battles. Player forums note the pacing feels brisk for mobile sessions, though some mechanics adapt awkwardly to touchscreen inputs.

Storyline

A "Prince" from Persia was going home from a journey abroad, he got lost in the sand storm and ended up in the forbidden land. The Prince encountered some monsters and found a woman captured by them. After several encounters with the woman, she introduced herself as Elika and they started to travel together. Elika sought the Seed, in hopes that it would save her kingdom. Elika suggested following the Magic Spirit to the seed. The Hunter caught up with Elika, but the Prince interfered, and chased him away. Elika told Prince that the hunter must be killed, and they used a Diamond Dragon to fly North where the Hunter dwelt. On the way, Elika told that her father is to blame for all the corruption. They found the Hunter, who kidnapped Elika, Prince followed him and killed the Hunter. The Hunter also held the seed that Elika was searching for. The seed from the Tree of Life. Elika didn't really blame her father for destroying the Tree of Life, as he was grief stricken after losing his wife, and when he lost someone else, he brought that person back to life using the Tree of Life. After Elika's father destroyed the Tree of life, four elemental creatures absorbed the seeds. Elika needed four of these seeds and they journeyed to the canyon where the next creature lived. Second elemental creature they encountered was the Octopus. After defeating the Octopus and getting the seed, they flew towards the observatory on the Diamond Dragon to search for the Child Queen, but the Child Queen attacked them during the flight instead. They managed to fight off the Child Queen, and then tracked it down on land and defeated it for good. They went after the last seed at the hands of the Warrior, residing in the lava rift. Elika revealed that she was the one her father resurrected. The prince was starting to have feelings for Elika, and tried to convince her not to sacrifice herself, and find another way. But Elika didn't think there is another way and gave her life to restore the Tree of Life
