The second game in the Sands of Time trilogy, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within takes a darker turn. The Prince is pursued by the Dahaka, an unstoppable guardian of the timeline, because he escaped the fate the Sands should have brought him. To change his destiny he sails to the Island of Time, where he travels between past and present to stop the Sands from ever being created.
It mixes acrobatic platforming and time-rewinding powers with a heavier, combo-based combat system and a grim tone. It is a single-player action adventure suited to players who want more fighting alongside their climbing and puzzles.
