Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow & The Flame is a cinematic action-platformer released for the SNES in 1993. Following the events of the original game, the Prince must once again flee for his life after the evil vizier Jaffar steals his identity. The sequel expands the rotoscoped animation and deliberate, momentum-based platforming of its predecessor by introducing outdoor environments, sword-fighting combat against multiple foes at once, and a variety of deadly new traps across its challenging levels.

How to play

Your goal is to guide the Prince across rooftops, through caverns, and over a mysterious island to reclaim his identity and save the Princess. Navigation requires careful timing and spatial awareness.

Tips

Momentum is realistic, so you cannot change direction instantly. Walk rather than run when approaching perilous ledges or spike traps to avoid tumbling over.
Combat often involves facing multiple guards simultaneously. Focus on parrying their strikes and counterattacking rather than mindlessly swinging your sword.
Always test unfamiliar floors by taking slow, deliberate steps; many loose tiles conceal hidden drops or deadly spikes.
