About this game
"King's Quest IV Retold" is a point-and-click remake of the fourth chapter in Sierra's classic King's Quest series.The game's story picks up immediately where "King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human" left off. As King Graham tosses his adventurer's cap to his children, he suffers a massive heart attack and is left on his death bed. It is up to his daughter, Princess Rosella, to retrieve a rare magic fruit that can heal her father, as well as save the land of Tamir from the evil fairy Lolotte along the way.
This remake introduces numerous improvements to the original game while staying faithful to its story and graphics, thus offering a new way to experience this classic adventure and making it more approachable for new players.
AGS Awards Nominations
Nominated, Best Game Created with AGS 2021
11 people commented on this game (newest first):
Technically it enhances the experience by adding the best possible soundtrack and even background sound from the Amiga version.
Overall an absolute pleasure to play and for me one of the best games that have ever been released in the AGS engine.
This is fun to play for historical or nostalgic reasons, but while this version is a stunning technical achievement, it also shows how much the genre has evolved since the original came out in terms of game design, storytelling and puzzles. Sierra were pioneers, and as such were the ones who created the genre through trial and error. It's easy to criticize in hindsight. Still, I'd say this is not a timeless classic, but a classic that shows its age.
