One of the many ways that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown diverts from past games in the franchise is in its art style, adopting a very anime-oriented approach. It's hardly the only way the title breaks from the franchise, as players no longer control the nameless Prince, that nameless Prince actually receives a name (Ghassan), and the iconic Sands of Time are controlled by the antagonist. Still, taking the franchise in an anime direction is something that immediately catches the eyes of any would-be Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown player.
