Get one of the best roguelites of 2025 that no one knows about

Nobody should miss this action hit

This is about The Rogue Prince of Persia, which often gets lost behind the better-known The Lost Crown. It merges classic Prince of Persia elements with the popular roguelike genre. You take on the role of a prince spared from death, whose fatal mistake has plunged his entire people into ruin.

What initially sounds like a dark premise turns out to be a clever gameplay concept: every death is not a game over, but a new chance to learn from past mistakes and take alternative paths the ever-changing Persia to discover.

And don’t let the graphics from one of the early trailers put you off: a lot has happened since the early access version. Among other things, the prince has no purple skin color now more.

The Rogue Prince of Persia shows its first major update in the trailer

The Immortal Edition scores points here an impressive facility. The physical game finds its place in the high-quality steelbook, while three premium art cards with card fragments on the back and a double-sided poster with game graphics and artwork round off the collection. The whole thing comes in a stylish O-ring case that looks perfect on the shelf.

In terms of gameplay, The Rogue Prince of Persia relies on what has always distinguished the series: flowing acrobatics and precise timing. You run along walls, cleverly avoid traps and combine spectacular moves into a deadly choreography.

The combat system rewards creativity and skill: Anyone who just hammers wildly on the keys will quickly be taught otherwise. With over 100 different weapons and medals to unlock, you have countless opportunities to develop and perfect your own play style.

Here you can see what the game looks like now.

What makes the game special is its replayability. Through procedurally generated levels, random events and changing narrative threads no two passages are the same. The meta progress ensures that you are still motivated to try again even after the umpteenth death. Each attempt makes you stronger, smarter and brings you one step closer to saving Persia.

The musical background deserves special mention: A stirring soundtrack accompanies your acrobatic performances and intensifies the already thrilling atmosphere. Evil Empire has done a great job here and created a kingdom that you will definitely want to save – whatever the cost.
