It is made more like the classic PoP games, where it is a 2D platformer rather than a full 3D adventure game. And, as in every good platformer, you can collect various items. These can be used to progress the story forward, serve to immerse you in the lore and the world around you or be used as currency. On that note, you will come across peculiar coins with the face of Xerxes, one of Persia’s most famous kings, on them, usually in some difficult-to-reach places. So let’s see how to get and use Xerxes Coins in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
