In the realm of point-and-click adventures, the Broken Sword series is a towering presence, renowned as one of Europe's most successful franchises in a genre typically dominated by PC games. Now, mobile enthusiasts can dive into the revamped experience with Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, available on both iOS and Android platforms.
Set against the backdrop of Paris, the game follows the thrilling journey of American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. The adventure kicks off with a bang when George witnesses a bombing at a Parisian cafe and spots a mysterious clown escaping the scene. This incident propels him into a centuries-old conspiracy that spans from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and beyond.
As suggested by its name, Reforged delivers a visually remastered experience. With fully reanimated and repainted graphics, the game's already impressive visuals have been elevated to a smoother, more captivating level.
Choose wisely: Broken Sword appeals to players who prefer a more serious tone over the humor often found in point-and-click games. Forget about rubber chickens; this game offers a complex, globe-trotting narrative that has been praised for outclassing even Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code in terms of thematic depth and intrigue. Our own publication confidently stated that Broken Sword "effortlessly outclasses Dan Brown's similarly themed and tricksy novel."
