What is The Rogue Prince of Persia?

For you if...

+you like fast parkour that flows into combat
+you enjoy changing weapons and medallions between runs
+you value a prominent soundtrack in action games

Not for you if...

−you dislike restarting after each death
−you expect deep build variety from a roguelite
