    A heartfelt, if not groundbreaking tribute to the King’s Quest games of yore, The Order Of The Thorne successfully honors its inspirations but has yet to prove if it can firmly stand on its own as a solid adventure game proposition of our times.

    With its hand-painted 320x200 backgrounds, modest pacing and exploration focus, The King’s Challenge is a solid Golden Age-style fairy tale adventure that stumbles only in its overly serious tone.

Playing it to the end (quickly) makes you think you played a demo of what it should have been, considering it takes nearly 800 MB to install.

    All the characters are flat (quite miserably) and the plot is fast and forward. This game is nothing like what IQ can provide, and I would hate to think they try to reap the grace of their backers who loved their last game.

    Only reason this is getting a 4 is because children under age of 11 are likely to love this game.    … Full Review »
