'''''Battles of Prince of Persia''''' is a [[turn-based tactics]] [[video game]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] handheld console in which the player takes the role of different characters from the ''[[Prince of Persia]]'' world, including the titular [[Prince (Prince of Persia)|Prince]].
==Story==
The story of the game takes place between ''[[Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time]]'' and ''[[Prince of Persia: Warrior Within]]''. The game is set in [[Persia]], [[India]], and the fictional [[Aresura]]. Each of these places sends three generals to fight their wars.
The Prince finds out that he is being hunted by the [[enemies from the Prince of Persia series#The Dahaka|Dahaka]], an incarnation of fate, because he interfered with time and cheated his own death in the process. The Prince decides to search for a way to free himself of this creature. To do this, he has to search different countries which he only can do by defeating them in [[war]]. Over the span of the game, the Prince fights the Deavas, a mythical race of demons contained in a box he opens, and Kalim, the Prince of India and brother of his long lost love [[allies from the Prince of Persia series#Princess Farah|Farah]]. Because of the wars the Prince becomes darker and matures. The game gives information as to what happens in between the two games in the ''Sands of Time'' trilogy.
==Gameplay==
''Battles of Prince Of Persia'' is a [[turn-based tactics]] game combined with [[collectible card game]] elements. The game involves a variety of [[playing card]]s which are characterized by a picture and a number, providing the card with its two uses. The first use is to play the [[magic (paranormal)|magical]] effect on the card, the second use is to play the number on the card, which determines how many orders the player may give within the hour. Each battle is divided up into hours, which are then divided into turns. Each turn, a player either uses a card for effect or orders, or passes. An hour ends when both players are unable or unwilling to use any more cards and both pass.
The game includes tactical elements such as [[zone of control]] and directional facing, where attacking an enemy from behind will produce better results than from the front. Zone Of Control prevents players from moving their units right through an enemy's lines and directly to the goal or leader.
