Broken Sword: Reforged Hits Mobile

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged revives the adventure classic for mobile platforms

Immerse yourself in a multilayered narrative that begins with an explosion and unfolds into deeper conspiracy

Test your wits with clever puzzles and journey across continents from Europe to the Middle East

Within the point-and-click adventure genre, Broken Sword stands among the most revered franchises. While traditionally a PC-focused series, this European-developed phenomenon now reaches mobile gamers through Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged - complete with enhanced visuals and refinements available on both iOS and Android.

The story unfolds in Paris, following American tourist George Stobbart and journalist Nico Collard's investigation into a cafe bombing. When George spots a suspicious clown fleeing the scene, he stumbles upon a centuries-spanning conspiracy that takes them from France to Syria, Ireland, and other exotic locations.

True to its "Reforged" title, this version delivers a visual overhaul. Building upon the original's striking aesthetic, the game now features completely reanimated and repainted graphics for a more polished experience.

For players seeking substantial storytelling over comedy-driven adventure games, Broken Sword offers the perfect alternative. Moving beyond typical genre tropes (no rubber chickens here), it presents an intricate globe-trotting conspiracy that our publication described as "outclassing Dan Brown's similarly themed novel, The Da Vinci Code" in narrative complexity.

Believe it when we say this adventure surpasses The Da Vinci Code - and we're not afraid of stirring debate with that claim. If you're ready to experience the sophisticated plot, challenging puzzles, and thrilling investigation firsthand, pre-registration for Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is available now on your preferred platform.
