Prince of Persia is an action adventure game in which players assume the role of the 'Prince' as he navigates through an open-world environment to battle the evil forces of Ahriman, the God of Darkness. Players mostly use swords and magic to battle a series of formerly-human creatures in hand-to-hand combat. Various gauntlet and acrobatic maneuvers can be combined to form strings of different attacks as players get knocked and thrown around – but never die – during battle. Story elements are told through cutscenes that contain mild profanity (e.g., "a*s"), references to alcohol products such as wine, and mildly suggestive dialogue (e.g., "I'll go first, but, hey, no staring at my a*s. I've felt you looking." and "Nice carving I prefer a nice nymph or a succubus myself…").
