    Considering the last game from IQ, this game feels like a fluke. 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.

    Straightforward, accessible and passionately created adventure. If you liked the Loom then give King's Challenge definitely a chance.
