Inaccurate Touchscreen Controls and Disappointing Gameplay
Prince of Persia: The Fallen King for the Nintendo DS attempts to bring the atmosphere and acrobatic gameplay of the beloved series to a handheld, but in my opinion, it only partially succeeds. The game uses touchscreen controls, which seems like an interesting choice on paper, but in practice, it often feels clumsy and inaccurate. As a result, navigating through the levels can sometimes be more of a source of frustration than enjoyment.
Visually, the game has its own style with a cartoony look, which is nice in itself, but the animations and environments lack the fluidity I’ve come to expect from the series. Although there is an attempt to tell an immersive adventure, the story feels simplistic and fails to truly engage. It’s a shame, as the Prince of Persia series is known for its epic storylines and thrilling twists.
The platforming and combat quickly become repetitive, and the lack of smooth controls makes some sections more frustrating than challenging. Despite the ambition to provide a unique Prince of Persia experience, The Fallen King ultimately remains a disappointing attempt that fails to capture the magic of the main series. For fans of the series, this title may be a letdown, as it doesn’t meet the standard we’ve come to expect from the earlier games.
