Order of the Thorne: The King's Challenge

It's a neat little retro-styled point & click adventure that absolutely oozes charm. Not too challenging and not very long but you'll have a fun time.

I love a good point-and-click adventure game, but a good game this is not. It was tedious, and I didn't feel like I was exploring or problem-solving when working through this game. Pros: I thought the art was nice, and there was one scene/surprise which I enjoyed.

A lot like LOOM in that you have to play music to accomplish certain tasks or progress at certain points. Take LOOM, add a lot more color and make the tunes you learn visible in the game so that you don't have to write them down on paper or remember them. There is also an easy mode in the game where you can just press the tune you want to play and you will play it correctly, but you can also stick to the hard mode and remember all the notes and play them in the right sequence in order to progress, just like in loom. I liked this game a lot better than LOOM. It's as if this game is a remake of LOOM, with a different story of course. If the game would have been named LOOM 2, it would probably give those who have played loom a lot better idea of what the game is like. I really enjoyed this adventure.

I am very happy with this game. I have been playing it all day and I am very pleased with its similarities! I will be very sad once I complete it.
