In the realm of point-and-click adventures, few franchises are as iconic as Broken Sword. Hailed as Europe's most successful series in this traditionally PC-centric genre, it now arrives on mobile. With Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged, players on iOS and Android can experience the game's fully revamped and remastered charm.
Set in Paris, the story follows American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard. After George witnesses a café bombing and a mysterious clown fleeing the scene, he is thrust into a centuries-old conspiracy. Their investigation will take them from Paris to Syria, Ireland, and other far-flung destinations.
True to its "Reforged" title, the game delivers a complete visual overhaul. Building on an already impressive art style, it now features smoother animations and completely repainted graphics for a fresh, polished look.
