Prince of Persia® The Shadow and The Flame Free download usually $3.84 at Amazon Australia - Not a bad game a guess when its for free
Prince of Persia games, at least the 2D variety, are about dying over and over until you make the jumps thanks to the pin point precision needed to make them(i know because i played the original that came on floppies with a hard 60 minute time limit) . But now, you need revive potions to restore for checkpoints or you have to restart the level. These can be found in game, or bought with coins, lots of coins. Coins can be gathered slowly in game, or they can be bought with real money. $1.99 for a thousand coins.
Once the potions run out, you'll either have to farm them by continually restarting the level, which will take forever and go fast, or you have to buy them. 1 potions costs 250 coins, 5 costs 1250 coins(note no bulk discount).
That would be bad enough, but the collision detection is often poor, springing traps when you appear to have cleared them. That seals this game's fate.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It is nothing but a freemium cash drain masquerading as a standard prince of Persia title. But Even the most blatant shameless freemium cash drains don't have the potential to drain you as fast as this game does.
You will die, and die a lot, but this time you will be paying with real money for it, where once restoring was free.
