Story and Setting
The Lost Crown is not a sequel to any of the previous games in the series. It introduces a new protagonist namely ‘Sargon.’ He is an elite warrior who is one of the seven ‘Immortals’.
The story is set around the mysterious Mount Qaf where Prince Ghassan is imprisoned. Sargon is sent by the Queen on a mission to rescue his son, Prince Ghassan.
The mission is not an easy one as the cursed Mount Qaf is full of vicious and hostile enemies. The more you progress in the game, the harder they become.
The mysterious Mount Qaf is inspired by Persian mythology.
It is full of highly detailed worlds and Metroidvania elements waiting to be explored. You will encounter many dangers, treasures, and wonders along the way.
To acquire new abilities and strengthen Sargon, you also need to visit the Secret rooms present in The Lost Crown.
The Lost Crown Gameplay
Drawing inspiration from previous games of the series, The Lost Crown is based on a 2D or 2.5D world.
The idea is to let gamers enjoy its old-school 2D-style gameplay while still retaining a very interesting experience. The game is all about jumping, sliding, dashing, and slashing in the world of Mount Qaf. However, it is different from typical arcade fighting games in the sense.
Besides intense fights, the game also requires strategies and the right powers to let you progress through. If you are wondering about the estimated time to go through the whole of game, let us tell you that it’s around 20 to 25 hours.
So that’s a pretty good gameplay duration.
Sargon fights with 2 lethal blades and a bow. He possesses some special powers such as Rush of the Simurgh and Shadow of the Simurgh.
The Rush of the Simurgh equips him with time-bending ability which helps him to dash forward through time. Shadow of the Simurgh allows him to mark a temporary checkpoint in the game to which he can return at any time.
Moreover, the mysterious Time Crystals allow him to upgrade his weapons.
