The Rogue Prince of Persia Preview (Most Anticipated Roguelike 2024)

[@VDGMS]

Do you plan on jumping in early access for The Rogue Prince of Persia or wait for the full release?

[@varunprakash1797]

Yup, cant wait - early access it is!

Always wait for full release, early access is bad for the gaming industry and incentivises shipping half-done games full of bugs. When it's done and polished it is good.

Very excited to see what the Dead Cells tech can be applied to!

[@VDGMS]

I don’t think they are using the tech, but they are definitely going to apply what they learned supporting it. I assume you will be jumping in early access?

I don't agree that being like Dead Cells is a good thing. I love Dead Cells, I'm still playing ( 3BC ) even today. Maybe I'll get to 5bc one day! However I already have Dead Cells. I'm not interested in playing Dead Cells but not really. To be honest this looks hugely MEH. I wish the team had decided to do something else instead. I'm disappointed by this.

I don’t think it’s a dead cells skin, but it’s hard to ignore the similarities. They have said it’s not just a re skin. There does look to be a lot more traversal and story, which are staples of the Persia series. There is also probably a lot we don’t know at the moment as well. Evil Empire have earned enough credit with me from their work on Dead Cells. Only about a quarter of the studio have been working on this as well, so the good news is that if you aren’t interested, something else is in development too

I agree it's very early days and I'll be open minded. As you said, there might be a lot more too it. I'm just really disappointed it's so similar. This isn't what i was hoping for. But yeah let's wait and see!
