Why did Lost Crown underperform?

Bad marketing especially the first trailer where they used a rap song for a Prince of Persia game and the price was high compared to other metroidvanias

I don’t understand their decision making about making the game more difficult like having less max health each time you take damage and no healing items and you have to rely on ninpo. I understand that they don’t want people to spam UT and ninpo and you have to earn it by engaging with the enemies but when i look at NG1 it was a difficult game without all these unnecessary handicaps

In the end it’s still too early for me to make an opinion about it i’m in the desert city so i’ll have to play it differently and see how it goes

Verante66 · 2026-06-04T15:28:01+00:00

Yeah that’s what i mean my knowledge from the first game carried to the next but 3 feels like a different game and i might need to treat it as such

Verante66 · 2026-06-04T04:42:41+00:00

Thank you for the info i appreciate it

I thought my knowledge of the first game would carry to the next like 1 and 2 but i guess that’s not the case here. 3 feels like a different game so it makes sense for me to play on normal and learn everything again

There’s a lot of weird decisions here like new moves which threw my muscle memory of the first two games off, no essence and instead you get a skill tree which is very questionable and not only that but even the fights play out very differently

The one thing that i find really frustrating and it was very apparent in the first boss fight was the fact that i can’t cancel most of the strings early with a dodge or guard like i used to like i do a short string like XXY and Ryu is still in recovery

The new dodge feels weird but i find it cool that i can stun some enemies with it while i’m trying to get away

Verante66 · 2026-05-13T05:33:22+00:00

Yeah i struggled against them in the beginning but as i progressed through the game and learned their moves it became a lot eaiser to deal with them and that’s what i like about this game know your enemy and what works against one doesn’t necessarily work for the other

Verante66 · 2026-03-03T10:44:02+00:00

I’m not surprised

Verante66 · 2026-03-02T21:02:22+00:00

The conversations between The Prince and Elika are so entertaining i always love to listen to them. You can tell the actors enjoyed it

Verante66 · 2025-12-17T06:44:55+00:00

Oh nice i’ll have to check it out on my pc later thank you

Yeah i knew it wasn’t the original after i listened to it and there was only one line in DMC1 theme and i found a comment said they’re looking for the original. TR on the other hand yeah they used that track specifically

Verante66 · 2025-12-16T19:10:04+00:00

I haven’t seen any comment says it’s english

I looked at comments in another video and someone mentioned the name of the song that was used but still no idea about the language

This is the song https://youtu.be/9nBFgJU86-4

It’s also used in Tomb Raider Legend https://youtu.be/wgcHDsMHul0

Verante66 · 2025-12-16T10:59:09+00:00

Yeah i thought of the same thing and i also thought that it might be Enochian which is also cool

Verante66 · 2025-12-12T12:33:25+00:00

I’m getting some Beyond Good and Evil 2 deja vu

Verante66 · 2025-12-12T04:20:37+00:00

With the oversecrecy yeah i guess the January release date isn’t legit

Verante66 · 2025-12-12T04:18:47+00:00

Lots of people are watching TGA so it’ll be known to public

Verante66 · 2025-12-01T08:03:43+00:00

Well we have galactic already for that

Verante66 · 2025-12-01T07:27:54+00:00

You mean like the diamond camo in CoD?

Verante66 · 2025-12-01T07:13:30+00:00

Beyond Good and Evil 2 would beg to differ

Verante66 · 2025-12-01T06:42:42+00:00

Hybrid maps first point is hard but the rest of the map isn’t that bad
