In hindsight, it’s surprising that nobody jumped on an idea like The Rogue Prince of Persia sooner: with the series’ roots as a fast-paced action sidescroller featuring tricky platforming sections, a roguelike twist sounds like the perfect way to shake up the formula. Thankfully, Evil Empire is here to remedy that, and this roguelike Prince of Persia game couldn’t be in better hands than with the folks who redefined the genre with Dead Cells.
