Play Battles Of Prince Of Persia Online

Battles of Prince of Persia came out for the Nintendo DS in 2005, developed by Gameloft. It was a different kind of Prince of Persia game, arriving in the early years of the DS when developers were still figuring out what the dual screens and touch controls could really do. This one went for a strategic, turn-based approach instead of the usual acrobatic action.

You command the Prince's army across a grid-based map, moving units like infantry and archers in a chess-like fashion. The main goal is to outmaneuver enemy forces, capture key structures, and eliminate the opposing commander. Two mechanics define the experience: using the touch screen to draw attack patterns for your units, and a card-based system that lets you play special abilities or summon reinforcements at critical moments. The pacing is deliberate, more about planning than quick reactions, and the difficulty can be punishing if you rush in. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes tense puzzle dressed in the skin of a Persian war.
