Get a bug as soon as I try to open it (alert: init renderer) and it crashes. Tried a bunch of fixes but nothing works... w/e I paid like 2 bucks for it. Still disapointing though.
Order of the Thorne: The King's Challenge is a decent little retro game that gets old very quick. At first the game was quite pleasent with a decent story and good atmosphere. unfortunatly that quickly went away. This game might as well be renamed "Fetch Quest: The King's Challenge, as you quickly find yourself running back and forth through the same screens, on the same routes, with barely anything interesting on them besides rocks, trees, and other items with little to no flavor text. The items you do need to finish the game hardly pop out at you and are sometimes in weird places that goes along with the strange convoluted direction of the game. This game could have been much better with just a little more polish and attention to detail especially towards the back half of the game. The game also does a lot of good things, there were some fun, funny and downright enjoyable moments. The soundtrack is very well done and the song mechanism is enjoyable (although quite underused). The graphics were nostalgic and done quite well, especially the character sprites (not so much some of the backgrounds). In conclusion, as far as point and click adventures go, it's sort of in the middle range. Interesting story but subpar gameplay with not really any puzzles besides "where do I get this thing, who do I take it to, what do I use it on" running back and forth through, maybe, 18 different screens that don't really do a great job of showing which way you can go. Started off with a bang, ended up flat. Decent game, I'll expect more from the sequel or I won't even bother.
