In 2009, "Atomic" named "King's Quest IV" one of the "50 Games to Play Before You Die". The magazine's Ben Hardwidge called it "a classic". IGN's Kosta Andreadis wrote in 2014, ""The Perils of Rosella" stands the test of time despite its shortcomings (and you can buy it on GOG.com), for above all providing a memorable and at times thrilling adventure, on top of being one of the first games to ever feature both a female protagonist as well as sound card support."
