Gameplay
Gameplay
The game plays similarly to the original 1989 version—the player has 60 minutes to make their way through a series of dungeons and defeat Jaffar before the Princess succumbs to a death spell put on her. The dungeons feature various death traps and enemies, and the player can make use of the Prince's parkour and swordfighting skills to overcome these threats. The remake features several new elements, such as the ability to roll, backflip, wall jump and stop time briefly during combat, as well as extra game modes.
