King's Quest: Once Upon a Climb may lack complexity, but it more than makes up for it with strong storytelling and effusive charm.

The Odd Gentlemen and Activision have announced a release date for the third episode. You’ll be able to play “Once Upon a Climb” on April 26.

The second chapter of King's Quest is still as charming as it’s ever been, the writing is sublime, the art-style is still magnificent and its orchestral soundtrack is wonderful - but it's hard not to feel a bit disappointed.

With episode 2 following long after the July debut of King’s Quest’s return to gaming platforms, you know that you’re in for a long journey in this series that will be made up of five instalments. But it’s that commitment to creating something fresh with each episode, that requires more development time on King’s Quest.

King's Quest isn't the same old point and click anymore, and that's a good thing.
