In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series is a towering achievement, celebrated as one of Europe's most successful franchises in this genre traditionally dominated by PC gaming. Now, mobile enthusiasts can dive into the revamped and remastered experience of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
The story kicks off in Paris, where American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard find themselves entangled in a gripping tale. It all begins when George witnesses a bombing at a Parisian café and spots a mysterious clown escaping the scene. This event propels them into a centuries-old conspiracy, leading them on an international journey from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
True to its name, Reforged delivers a visually enhanced experience. The game, already known for its impressive visuals, has been further refined with fully reanimated and repainted graphics, ensuring a smoother and more immersive adventure for players.
Broken Sword caters to players who prefer a more serious tone compared to the humor-centric releases common in the point-and-click genre. Forget the rubber chickens; this game offers a complex, globe-trotting narrative that our publication boldly claims "effortlessly outclasses Dan Brown's similarly themed and tricksy novel." That's right, we're saying it's better than The Da Vinci Code. And who says there's no room for controversy in journalism?
