Summary
Battles of Prince of Persia marks the franchise’s debut on the Nintendo DS, slipping into the timeline between The Sands of Time and the later titles. The game swaps platform‑hopping action for turn‑based tactics, letting you command armies through the Prince and a roster of eight other generals, each represented by a collectible trading card. Every card carries a magical effect and a numeric value that determines how many orders you can issue in a given hour, and battles are broken into hours and turns until both sides pass. With nine playable characters, 27 distinct units and three rival factions, the battlefield feels like a miniature war‑game, complete with zone‑of‑control rules and directional facing that rewards flanking. Multiplayer is surprisingly easy to set up – a single cartridge can be passed around, turning a handheld session into a competitive showdown.
Storyline
The Battles of Prince of Persia on Nintendo DS slots itself between Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, bridging the gap in the trilogy. The Prince roams Persia, India, and the fictional realm of Aresura, each kingdom fielding three generals for their own wars. While searching for a way to evade the Dahaka—an incarnation of fate that hunts him for cheating death—he unintentionally sparks a conflict between Persia and India. Throughout the adventure he battles the Deavas, a race of demons released from a cursed box, and confronts Kalim, the Indian prince and brother of his lost love Farah. The relentless wars harden the Prince, turning him more cynical and violent, a transformation that foreshadows his later persona in Warrior Within.
