In the realm of point-and-click adventure games, the Broken Sword series has long been a towering presence, particularly celebrated as Europe's leading franchise in a genre traditionally dominated by PC gaming. Now, mobile enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the newly remastered and revamped experience of Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
The game unfolds in the vibrant city of Paris, where you follow the journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The story kicks off with a dramatic explosion at a Parisian café, witnessed by George, who then spots a mysterious clown escaping the scene. This incident propels George into a centuries-old conspiracy, taking him on a global quest from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
As suggested by its title, Reforged brings a visually enhanced experience to the table. With fully reanimated and repainted graphics, the already impressive visuals of Broken Sword have been elevated to a smoother, more engaging level.
Choose wisely - Broken Sword caters to those who prefer a more serious tone over the often humor-centric point-and-click adventures. Instead of rubber chickens and slapstick comedy, you'll find a globe-trotting plot that weaves a complex narrative. In fact, our publication has boldly stated that Broken Sword "effortlessly outclasses Dan Brown's similarly themed and tricksy novel," suggesting it surpasses the likes of The Da Vinci Code. And yes, we're stirring the pot of controversy in journalism with such a claim.
