If you're a fan of point-and-click adventures, you won't want to miss out on the upcoming mobile release of Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged. Publisher StoreRider has opened pre-registration for this beautifully revamped version of the iconic 90s classic on Android. Originally launched in September 1996 on PC, Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars quickly became a beloved staple of the genre. The Reforged version, staying true to the original game, first hit PC screens in September 2024.
What’s New in Broken Sword – Shadow of the Templars: Reforged Mobile?
This mobile iteration boasts fully remastered audio and visuals in high definition, supporting 4K for an immersive experience. The hauntingly atmospheric soundtrack by Barrington Pheloung continues to set the mood. Some areas have been revamped to the point where they look like a whole new game, yet the essence and charm of the original remain intact.
The storyline remains faithful to the original, following George Stobbart, a curious American inadvertently entangled in an ancient conspiracy involving the Knights Templar. Alongside sharp journalist Nico Collard, they traverse from Parisian cafés to ancient ruins in Syria, from Spanish backstreets to mysterious crypts in Ireland. The game’s visuals are truly enchanting; see for yourself!
The puzzles are as challenging as ever, requiring you to solve mysteries across settings like the museum and the sick ward. The solutions often depend on actions taken elsewhere in the game.
