But overall it’s a good game and I’m enjoying it but these improvements will really help ### 3/5 — Great but many issues *2022-09-07, version 1.0* On XR ads or the game uses so much power causing phone chip heat. Stuttering and lags not a consistent smooth run. As well as climbing animation could be polished up better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DEVELOPERS! *2025-03-11, version 1.4.4* DEVELOPERS! Make it so there's secondary weapons ( including the Dagger of Time ) ### 1/5 — … *2024-12-14, version 1.4.4* No…Just no… ### 1/5 — Pants *2023-08-13, version 1.3.0* Too many ads. Repetitive. Boring. ### 1/5 — I am sorry !!!! Very bad POP version 😕 *2023-03-23* I petty on this generation ! It’s really sad that our kids in 2023 won’t get the chance to play fantastic games like the ones we played in old versions of pop and to put it in a nutshell you ruined prince of persia and all older versions are way better than this escape game play , this is very sad you’ve corrupted everything where is the graphics where is the full control of the hero where is the story where is the music . All i can see now is ads no enjoyment for our kids 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t feel like your taking part in it… *2022-10-22, version 1.3.0* …just watching & occasionally moving your thumb. If you can find a working 8-bit computer from the 1980s with the original Prince of Persia, play that instead. That’s got more realistic feeling graphics & more challenging gameplay. This, on the other hand, feels like an off-the-peg, generic, cookie-cutter platformer that’s just trading off nostalgia for the original. Even though this is free, it still feels like a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Not good yet *2022-10-02, version 1.2.0* It asked me to review after 4 levels, so here is the review after 4 levels. The first levels are too easy to enjoy for anybody over the age of 5. Also the levels are so short and the ads so long and annoying you spend more time watching them then actual gametime. ### 1/5 — Great but… *2022-09-24* Game play is great simple but a great time killer. But it’s got a serious bug and I can not claim any of my rewards or watch ads for extras ### 1/5 — Not a good game *2022-09-13* Nowhere near as good as the first one in my opinion. The movement is stiff. The levels are boring. And the environments are uninteresting. I preferred the full control you had over your character to this game’s “tap-to-win” strategy. A disappointment for me who enjoyed the first game. ### 2/5 — Should it even be called a game? *2022-11-30* This “game” is so far beyond easy that it amounts to little more than tapping the screen (timing is so forgiving as to be pointless) while you watch very short and repetitive levels scroll by. I kept playing thinking it must have additional game elements or that difficulty would increase, but I’m 50 levels or so in and it’s no harder than the very first level. Don’t waste your time! ### 2/5 — first one is way better *2022-10-03* the first one gives u full control of the character and this one is a running side scroller which was not the right move for a sequel doesn’t give the satisfaction of the first one nowhere near as good ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good fun *2025-09-09, version 1.4.4* Waaaay too many ads! Still a fun PoP time killer. ### 5/5 — No Challenge *2024-11-13* It’s fun at first, and I thought it would get harder after a little while, but I’m at level 127 and it’s still super easy. I really wish it could be more challenging, and the levels seem to repeat. Maybe you could make more levels instead of repeating them? And maybe making it more challenging cause I have the 1st one as well and that one is more challenging than this one. It’s a really fun game, just needs to be more challenging. Thank you ### 5/5 — _ *2023-06-04* As a Persian, I can confirm that I run half-naked across desert walls running from the oil collectors. ### 5/5 — Great game to play *2023-03-01* This game is great game to play and is fun to olay ### 5/5 — Great game but… *2022-09-04* It’s a really fun game, love the graphics, I love everything. But you could add more mechanics to make it a bit harder. Like maybe you double tap on some jumps, or you hold when you’re running on a wall. For some special enemies you could have the player swipe there fingers in different ways to beat them. ### 5/5 — Hope for more POP games!! *2022-08-27* Finally a new POP game hopefully more to come and with different gameplays the art style can be the same just more prince of persia content!! Thanks🤘🏻💯💯 ### 4/5 — Gameplay *2024-01-13, version 1.3.0* I would love a more parkour style gameplay like the Vector games where you control the vaulting moves and come with smooth animation reminiscent of the original Mechner classics. Other than that it’s pretty good. ### 4/5 — Very fun! *2022-10-15* I give this 4 stars because it is very good! New stunts, new item, and you can actually fight, but I’ve grinded for 1 day and soon as I reached level 60 it restarted only recommendation is to add more bosses and levels atleast up to 100 ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-10-14* Good game, if you like this classic 2D style of play ### 3/5 — Add a level selection please *2022-12-04, version 1.3.0* I love this game but the reason why I only put three instead of four is because I accidentally jumped at the end of level 37 and avoided the key. So that gives me an uneven amount of keys and that makes my uncomfortable. And if you miss a key, on the level selection, it will show a small circle with a key in it. Hope that this is helpful for future updates. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
